As it says, I'm trying to figure out which new front end to go with. I'm looking for a couple main options, and just wanted to see what others thought. Thanks :mcool:

Are the Mugen lips poly? I thought about the 02-03 with the Airwalker, but I heard that it was fiberglass. I'd hate to spend that kind of cash and it some how get cracked since I DD.

I like both the Mugen lips, I just thought that the 04-05 Mugen lip flowed better with the car. It is a little more rounded and seems to contoure the body lines nicely. So far, this is my number one pick but I wanted to see what others said.

Anyone have any decent pictures of these set up's? NHBP perhaps?

Mugen lips are pretty much fiberglass, frp. Fiberglass isnt that bad for daily driving, unless you are like dumpt to the floor

Hmm..well it seems that fate, if you will, has made the decision easier, leaving it between the 02-03 front with either the Mugen or Airwalker now haha. It will be one of these. Thanks for the info and input guys.

I would have loved the 04-05 Mugen set up, but it didn't work out that way. I'm going 02-03 with the Mugen I believe. The Airwalker looks good at times to me, but at others, it looks a little off. So I believe I've got it figured out now :) Thanks guys.

Thanks for the info. I've already bought my 02-03 front, as well as rear, from wilpezash. I tried switching for the 04-05 he had so I could pick up a Mugen lip I found, but someone had already gotten it from him. So now that I've already got the 02-03 coming, I've got to pick between the Mugen or Airwalker. Both seem kinda bulky, esp. on the sides, so I guess I've got to figure out which one I'd settle for between those. I still have no clue :-/

Im partial to the airwalker but at the same time I also like the mugen when I see them on other cars

I was initially going the 02-03 front with the airwalker but changed my mind when I saw the 04-05 faacelift front bumper and lip
I really love how this combo looks with the jdm projectors

plus I really wanted to stick with the oem plastic material as oppposed to fiberglass

If i had that money i would go with the 04-05 face lift with CTR lip. All great options tho!

Yea, I like the airwalker on some cars (like knowgood), then the Mugen on others. Which sucks, because I can't choose new wheels till I decide the front haha.

I really like the 04-05, and would love to have that setup, but seeing as how its already coming, and I can't sell it because I'm overseas right now, Im just going to stick with the 02-03 for now. OEM abs > fiberglass anyday, but it is what it is :)
