Wings West front lip

why does everyone want the wings west front lip, it doesnt give the car a better look. I feel it is jus a way for wings west to make money, any good body shop can customize a front lip on to the cl yet ppl still want the wings west one for some reason, i suggest ppl that want the lip jus cause it very slightly changes the look of the car look into a lip for a civic or accord and customize it, i can bet u will be happy with the results.

jus wanted to give ma two cents, no disrespect to all the peeps out there with the lip, everyone has there own taste.

later

i have the lip and i was iffy about buying it. the reason i got it was cuz it is a direct fit, no alterations necessary at all. it comes paint-ready straight from the factory. about the way it looks, it is the same front lip that is on an integra type-r and it honestly does make your car look different. it extends the bumper out more and makes it look more aggressive. if you saw it outside of the pictures, you would see what i'm talking about.

no doubt, i would have definitly gone with a custom kit if i had the money. i will eventually though, as long as i decide on keeping the car

I have to agree with Desi. I thought about buying the lip but I just dont think its worth the $$$. Maybe if i saw it in person. I dunno.

Has anyone even purchased the CL "TypeR" wing or whatever its called?

You dont want the typeR wing, my friend has it and it looks ok from a front side view, but from behind it looks like shit. He regrets putting it on. Ryan
