I'd go with the full kit also. But rocking the front lip is still nice with a drop.

Cars looks like AM from the pics, but it's LGM right?

Dude, I really dig that look, makes it look really sleeper. This is a hard one.....but I'm just going to say keep it as is. If you want, get the kit and just throw it on and if you don't like it, take it off.

Is the roof vinyl or paint? If it is vinyl, where did you get it?

factory side skirts look rice?
they couldnt be more subtle.

btw man.
its just a (lip kit)

has nothing to do with a Type S.
the option was available on both models of the car.

with the 02-03 front lip being different of course.

1. I love the 3rd gen wheels on there.

2. It's really up to you... I personally like the kitless look w/ a nice lowered stance w/ nice wheels. I think it looks great. On the other hand, the kit really does look good. It's a toss up. Do you have the money for it? Would you rather spend that money on something else?

doubt any shop can get OEM lips for these cars...

theres only a handful of them left in acura's inventory period.... i see certain colors of fronts, sides, and rears dissapear everytime i go to look.

you can buy the lip kit from the dealer at a shop price... just gotta haggle with them...

of course, you can no longer get a WHOLE kit the same color.. but you can still edge one out if you hurry guys..

pretty soon the only option will be fiberglass

Your grill looks good, didn't notice in till you mentioned it.

I think it looks good as is, I'm not a big fan of oem full kit... so many have them I like the WW or how you have it or no kit at all... LIKE M! haha jk I'm just a broke ass.

I personally think it would look a ton better with something on the side too. Would really complete the look.
