I'm getting some body work done and I need some help deciding on either keeping my bumpers and adding the usdm type R lip kit all the way around or front and rear jdm bumpers with side side skirts with no lips. I'm pretty familiar with the jdm bumpers and I love them but I need some pics of the usdm kit to compare with.

Ok, what I need is a picture of some usdm type r lip kits installed. Anyone?

if your car is black or white, i would get the type r bumpers and lips. but it also matters what front bumper you want, cause im not fond of the 04-05

Thanks for the photo, I was thinking about shaving the corner lights front and back as well if I go with the lip kit. I'd stroll through the members ride but that kit didn't come out till late 2004.

I honestly like the CTR rep on the usdm kit better than the genuine CTR at this point = S

The cash is an issue but not really. Agreed on CF hood.

How do you like the kit overall, quality and fitment?

I'm not sure I know the difference between, do you have any photos or links?

Thanks for the help and info guys, I just purchased the full jdm kit. I think the biggest reason was because its urethane. Fiberglass and cf just don't hold up well in Michigan.:mbiggrin:

Dont get the replica sideskirts. They are bitch to get to fit correctly, and dont have any of the rubber liner to protect your paint. I did my sides with replicas and If I could go back I would have done them with HFP.

USDM front and rear lips are good though. Congrats on teh baller jdm purchase though.

yeah gotta take time and effort to crop and cut which sucks for fitment. i'd rather just fit it right on ahha

Thanks, I can't wait to join the jdm whore club.:mbiggrin:

My heart, you mean my wife, lol. Shes the one who has final say.:mredface:

Thanks for the info, so do the jdm skirts require anything to make them fit? I told the shop it'll fit up no problems.

Yeah I almost went that way they look great but I need a new bumper anyway so I'd rather just have it done all at once I guess.

Yeah, the shop told me they'd rather work with urethane and it will hold up better as well.

Good point but I decided to get the lips as well and be done with it since the cars getting repainted. I don't wana worry about color matching later on.
