That's a Mugen lip?? It doesn't look like a mugen lip to me dude... nor does it look like an Euro R lip. It looks like you combined both the lips..

I was just thinking the same thing.
but I was thinking it was a knock off.
unless Mugen made a different lip for like the wagon or
something... that's not real.

nice car. I agree with MMsTSX though I am pretty sure that is not an authentic mugen lip.

Great looking car. I always wanted to know how those wheels looks on a TSX. They look amazing.

The only dislike is the roll on the rear quarter pannel.

The front lower lip looks rather unique, guess it is a fit for the European specs bumper for '03. Seems to cover up to the fog lights too. Hmmm..

Trust me dude, investing in a real one is worth it! My car is slammed too, and having the real Mugen lip, gave me reassurance that I know my lip won't crack even if I scratched it. But replicas, I am not too sure about the quality...
