looking for a front lip....

I'm looking for something that's a little less than the WW RS front lip. Spoon one is not an option because of price but it does look nice.
Thanks for anything,
gills

Kaminari lip is nice! Id say its a little less than WW. You could just get the stock one painted. Other than that, im afraid theres no other choice.

I love this prelude.... If i ever got a kit, it would be the WW lip, and kaminari sides/rear lip. the sides are perfect.

I am not impressed with any of those lips. They do NOT look clean...

I'm going to have to completely agree with Mike. Not 1 company makes a nice looking front lip for the 4th gen. Well, the spoon is actually not that bad. I think it's the best out of all but the thing costs 600+ bucks. Maybe in the future, but for now i'm just going to paint the stock lip and the stock side sills.

Here's a 4th with a spoon lip painted the color of the car(otherwise it would be carbon fiber if you didn't know) and also the stock side sills. Looks very good from the side:





here's a 4th gen with just a WW RS lip. Personally, i think this looks wacked:



Maybe we need to design something for the companies

Hmmm... I like the Spoon lip too
Only if it was cheaper!

Like 1/3 the price.
Maybe get one made that looks like the Spoon? Fiberglass or whatever?

The Spoon lip does look the best of them all.

i'm in the same situation. I cant find a front lip that i like. I think the WW rs looks good. but i dont like how it fits on the front, its not clean and its not flush with the car. Maybe if it was molded to the front bumper it would look better.

I know what you're saying. Just like this, right?:



that doesn't look too bad, but how much more would a body shop charge to do that?

gills: I wonder if you could get the WW cut so it didn't drop down so much...it would make it more subtle (Photoshop time).

When my car arrived from Japan, this lip was already on it.
It's not too big to look too out of place with stock sides/rear.
I keep thinking of painting the sills to match but then I think ludes look odd with no rear 'lip' for the bumper. I can't think of anyone who makes a nice rear piece for our cars without having a wild kit to match.

I think that is just a poor example for the WW kit. The silver really does nothing for it, or maybe its because he doesnt have the full kit, i dunno. I think maybe if he had the sides too it wouldnt look so "wacked"

I know what you're saying brian. Because it doesn't look "wacked" on your car Your car actually looks pretty sweet with it on. Since your car is dark it would probably look good in black as well.
Do you have anymore pics of the front of your car?

If i was able to get this kit somehow i would be a very happy man...Azect body kit. I've heard that azect body kits are expensive as hell because they are a japanese company and anything that's from japan is always expensive as a motha! And U.K. VTEC, i like that lip a lot. Simple and nice. Anymore pics of it sideview and angled front view?

Actually looks like those are stock side sills painted.
The rear of the kit is really nice..

What do you guys think??

I'll get some taken soon for you.
The rear of the kit is really nice..

What do you guys think??

gills
I like the rear but it looks unfinished, or broken. Now if it were to go all the way across the bumper I'd buy one today. It would look sweet blended in with the bumper.

i have the full rs kit on my 4th gen and i love it. one thing i do think looks bad is jstthe front lip. it looks too out of place. or people with like just a front bumper. i only think kits look good if there's a front, side, and rear.

i used to think the r kit was ugly as hell, bt then again i was looking at the picture on the ww website.

these are better:
