I've seen very few lips that are clean. Most have too much flare to them, or god forbid vents everywhere. It's not the very best lip out there, but it is one of the cleanest..... the Type-R.

I chose it on my first IS3 back in 2006 to match my RMM skirts simplicity and since I have another set of RMM on my newest IS3 I will add the Type-R again at the start of this coming year.

Problem is that only 4 people have ever put it on correctly. LOL......

I like the type r, just how it bends in the center I'm not a fan of, the jdm lip is just one of my all time favorite lips so I wanna see if I can find one before I go to second best

You mean how it cuts up and leaves a gap between the two edges? I used to contemplate what it would look like if it went straight across so one day I photoshopped it and figured out why they didn't do it. Looks like an old mazda lowrider truck LOL....... It's best they add some flare. Both the upper and lower grill follow the same cut line if you look you can see it (it's actually the grill flipped upside down and cut out. The top mirrors the bottom). It matches the rest of the front end.
