Which CTR JDM bumpers look better "without the front lip"? 02-03 or 04-05

Thinking about going lipless jdm.... want the stock look meanwhile maintaining the jdm flavor... pix would be nice with ur comments

i think 04-05 looks better lip less. 02-03 looks way to stock

my 02-03


dunno the owner 04-05

I'd prefer the 04-05.

But I think with a lip is the best solution!

The 04/05 JDM front bumper looks so cool it looks like it doesn't need a lip.

04-05 jdm bumper... better choice of lip...

[CivicDuty]

02-03 leaves the holes all on the bottom where the lip clips in, so it really needs the lip. go with the 04-05 front

[JCEM]

Definitely '04-'05

yeah, the lip option does look better.... alhough if i get the bumper only.. then get the lip a year later, it'll feel like a new mod.. lol

Can't really see it in this pic, but CTR bumper will have foglight cutouts for the lip so will look pretty ugly without the lip. If you look closely at the outer edges of the "smile" can see it.

yeah mine also cut, think all 04/05 have the cut ready.
