Oh I do, but some people say replica's fit crappy. But I love it because it's black which wouldn't even need painted on a Red Civic, agreed?

I've gotten two lips from ebay, first one was a mugen style and didn't fit the best, it ended up getting ripped off and I ran over it while driving down the street, so I just left it there and ordered my ctr replica, which this one fits a lot better. They won't stay that black for long, it is only abs plastic, so as it sits in the sun it will start to fade. Just spray a coat of primer/paint/clear and it'll look good and hold the black, just make sure to prep it right and use the right primer, not all paint will stick to the abs well.

It says it's Poly-Urethane which is stronger and more reliable am I correct?

lips all about personal preference. if you like that style go for it. some people would like mugen, ctr, or si lip others dont.

poly utethane can take some beating and bending without snapping

Ya just worried because my driveway now is weird and I scrape my front bumper already with only a 2" drop and a lip oh my, but hey seriously I like both so it's just to see what you guys think, but what would you like if I kept the lip black on a Red Civic or just paint to match?

i had a lip kit on my eg, and i removed the lip just like the one you pictured. skirts and rear lip is ****, but i have never been a fan of a front lip on a civic. up to u man. poly lips are floppy. i still have my midori one laying around somewhere. i hated that thing. i wont hate on you if you get it though, its personal preferrence. at least its a clean lip, and not a buddy club front bumper.
