I need opinions! My SiR front lip got in a little accident, and has a few scratches/gouges on it now. Should I just keep it and rock it with the scratches, or go back to the Mugen style front lip?

not bad man. You should hit your sir lip with some trim paint...it'll look better flat than glossy

Updates!
-Drove my car for the first time today, and damn driving stick is easy.
-Magnaflow muffler should be coming Thursday, depending on the exhaust shop.
-My OBX twin loop is about to completely fail, there's a loud rattle coming from inside of it.
-Front lip is still off, I haven't decided what to do with that yet.

Here's how she's been sitting for the past two weeks!

Cell phone pic ftw.

Got my muffler today! It's a magnaflow 2.5" in/out, stainless steel, 22" overall length. It's super quiet, but I can't wait til it's broken in.

The muffler is pretty much perfect once it's warm, no rasp whatsoever.
I also got a Mugen style front lip, cause the SiR kept falling off everytime it scraped.


Oh, and I got an OEM 98 rear lip for $79.95 SHIPPED off of eBay :P
