I like the Mugen lip. Looks pretty dope to me.
Damn I love the way the 96-98 Bumper/Lip combo looks with the wing. Almost make me want to get a wing back. I think the 96-98 combo would look good without the wing regardless.Mugen would be
As far as the OP's question. OEM, or at least OEM style... I've actually got one for a 99-00, unpainted, black plastic. Haven't put it on yet, don't know if I'm going to just yet. Sk8shorty has me thinking of other options...
i have a question- would a rear lip for a 98 fit on 00? how could you tell the difference?
It depends on the lip if a 99-00 will fit a98. The replica Type R ones probably will fit but they are all crap, I know this will piss a lot of people off but I've never seen one to this day that looks right. They aren't even a replica Type R, people just call them that. There was no 6th gen 2dr/4dr Type R and the hatchback OEM Type R lip looks way different.
The USDM OEM rear lips are ridiculously overpriced but they really are the only ones that look good, they are contoured to fit the bumper and accentuate the lines. The aftermarket ones just kind of sit on the bottom of the bumper but don't really change the shape or add much to the look of the car and usually don't fit well.
I'm not trying to knock anyone with one of the aftermarket lips. I've had one too and not everyone can afford or find the OEM lips so I understand. I'm just saying that I don't think they ever look very good.

but $130 for two little pieces of plastic...doesn't seem right, I guess u gotta pay for raritythat's exactly why i haven't done it yet. i just don't think it's ok. maybe i'll get lucky and find 'em cheaper, but doubtful.
ok so i think i might have a 99-00 rear bumper. but should i throw on a rear lip on it or leave it. im digging those mugen side stats.

still say type r rear lip is good.
yea looks clean with type r but then it also looks clean without it. i dont know now ha
im planning on getting one myself. and im really diggin that rear window "duckbill" or "visor" or whatever it is on that coupe. might look into that one too.and as for wings petey, i think an si replica wing would like sweet on your car. i have one and i think it looks pretty sweet. but thats just my opp.
what is that peice thats above the back glass called?^^replica's are fun
I'd recommend an OEM rear lip for your car. I'm not a big fan of replica parts, but if you have a replica front and don't expect to change, then you might as well go all out and get the replica rear too.
There are replicas out there too.
Aftermarket ones fit either a lot of the time. That or they'll sell both '96-'98 and '99-'00.

Depends on what year and body and such your car is.
They have rear spats, which are like little pieces of lips for the sides. They're for the '99-'00 coupe/sedan rear bumper.

OEM ones can be made4 to fit, but is not advised by me.

Look at this thread.

They're really only that much? For real ones?
Hmm... might have to keep those in mind and get some of those later. Something else I want first though.
Rear window visor. I've got one of the EGR ones (BNIPlastic), but I think I'm going to save it for a few years.
