you should have included the years(02-03&04-05) for mugen and type r lips because they are different.

A long time ago (in a galaxy far far away) there was a ephatch forum post with all the different lip options for the ep3 and there were actually a lot of different options. Some made by small companies I had never heard of.

I guess I like the Mugen front lip for the 2005 ep3 CTR the best. Air Walker is nice too. And also the Honda stock front lip is classy, and probably has the best fitment since it is made by Honda.

HFP is nice but the bumper lights need to be removed and the HFP front lip modded to make it look like the front bumper lights were never there. That means some repainting and some bodywork.

don't quote me on it, but i thought the HFP kit bolts right up without any modification. i thought the only mod was if fog lights wanted to be installed with the kit.

anyways, my favorite is the mugen front lip by far, but having to cut big holes in the bumper and also having it sit so low is no good for me. i live in NY and i'm lowered so that lip would be destroyed in no time

yea your wrong, it all bolts up with no modding, only thing you would have to mod is the front lip if you want fogs and its really simple

didn't even know what kaminari was
I searched it, doesnt look that bad to me
looks better than the mugen in my opinion actually, the mugen looks like a joke of itself.

if it wasn't hanging off the car it'd look even better, so yeah I dont mind it.

What kind of lip is that? Looks nice.

My vote goes for HFP or Type R, they have the best fits and compliment the overall design pretty damn well for being OEM accessories

I agree, the mugen for me. The CTR and Airwalker are not bad choices whatsoever though

Everytime someone posts a picture of that lip, I miss the day when it didn't have rock chips haha.

But yeah, of course I'd have to vote for the EP2 lip. Perfect balance of clean, aggressive, and subtle. And rarity definitely adds to its appeal.

I like the Type-R lip because its simple and clean and gives it that low and aggressive look without announcing itself to the world.

MadLorEP3
04-06-2010, 12:13 AM
1) Airwalker
2) 04-05 CTR
3) 02-03 CTR

dont like the mugen lip at all but then again I like it sometimes on other people's ep like Hur1cne's but not on mine

05EP3
04-20-2010, 09:00 AM

04-24-2010, 05:30 PM
if you DD the car i say an oem lip. ie; usdm bumper + hfp lip or jdm bumper + type r lip. if this is your sunday baby like i wish mine was, i saw air walker 100%. i love that lip and was so close to ordering it until i found of that its fiberglass.
