or is it my imagination?





as opposed to type R bumper




which looks better?

You might aswell do everything Type R you make so many polls and include the Type R in everyone of them. I know you like it I know you got the $$$ just do it :) and why does it matter what we like isnt it your car... just my 2cents and Type R FTW... :)

JDM CTR bumper looks better because it's cleaner and more subtle. A lip has that noticeable line where you can see it's tacked onto the bumper.

nah ... if i wanted type r ... i'd do the front as well .. i'd have done the rear conversion a long time ago.

i ain't no big fan of everything type r or jdm ... if that was the case i woulda waited ...

this poll though is just to see what people like ... not about what's going on my car ...

true ..
but u know what ... see how they type r has the side sills ... i just think it's unfinished cuz u don't have a front a back ...

then if u add the mugen lip to the front to help it out ... u have front + sides and nothing in the back ... that mugen rear under spoiler thing ain't helping either ...

it's just like the dudes that put just the fron hfp lip but nothing else ... i just think it looks out of proportion ...

i think the mugel lip on the mugen sedan is kinda off as well cuz the sides mount on the lower line and not the accent line ... but that one goes as high as the hpf lip to the accent line ... imo not ideal but atleast it compensates a lil for having sides + front ... get me ??

imo the mugen lip for the regular sedan is ideal since it follows the line of the side lips ... so it just flows ...

but i do get ur point ... cleaner bumper always looks nicer overall ...

Go for the R bumper since it is a bumper not a lip looking access.

maybe it's the FBP but IMO the USDM mugen looks wayy better... the JDM one is too plain and not aggressive enough for the look of the car...

I like the usdm wayyy better.Does the conversion consist of swaping trunks and everything,because all I see when I look at the jdm rear are those ugly a$$ tail lights!

I like the USDM better, I dont like the JDM rearend to be honest. I like the JDM front alittle(not enough to do a conversion), but I like the look of the Mugen with the exception of the wing.
