oem lip kit vs oem replica vs ww rs

I live in Canada, ordering the full oem lip kit from handa, total cost + having my cuz ship it back to me roughly $1200

i can get a oem fiberglass replica locally for $500

Another local store is selling an original ww rs kit for $700, made of urethane

Which of these kits would last in a -30c temperature with 30cm's of snow

WWRS will last just as well, that thing can take a better beating than OEM I think.

I think the oem is better for snowplowing. (More bolts)

the place in montreal that makes the kit has a pretty good rep. you'll be lucky to find an oem kit there, id say thats damn near impossible. so go with the replica or the wwrs.

relplica sideskirts does not have the mounting clip on the side like the real oem from honda. So mounting them will most likely drilling into the body. also, fibreglass will always require work for it to fit properly, that means that u will have to pay someone the big bucks to fit and paint it. Not to mention it will crack easy.

I will suggest getting the WW RS kit instead if u cant find the real oem kit since its made out of urethane and fitment is pretty good.

reading > than you

i say go with oem. the wwrs front lip looks ugly as sin, the curves dont go with the lude. if your worried about the lip breaking or anything during winter, then just take it off. I've done that the past 3 winters.
