Js Or HFP

I have an 07 nhbp si coupe and I've had the HFP kit (minus the sideskirts) for a few months but haven't had time to install it. I've recently had my eye on the Js Racing front lip for the car because it not only looks good and is jdmz yO but its more functional then the HFP kit. Looking for opinions on either to...


-Get the HFP Sideskirts to complete the HFP kit


-Get the Js Racing front lip, install it with the HFP rear lip after I have the Js lip panted and sell the HFP front lip

you can get it from a few places such as R&D Motorsports in SC, AJ-Racing in Canada, Evasive Motorsports in CA but I'm getting mine from GT Motoring as gregs a great guy and gave me the best price on it. Its called a front lip but IMO its more of a splitter made out of FRP with Carbon Fiber end plates

I personally don't think the HFP will look good with the J's lip. If you get the J's lip, just get the lip. Get the rear, leave the sides. But even then, it would look better if you left the rest stock.

I have the HFP front and rear lip now but they aren't installed. If I decide to get the Js front lip, I'm going to sell my uninstalled HFP front lip but keep and install the HFP rear lip. I plan on buying the HFP sideskirts down the road if I go with the Js lip regardless

Then why are you asking for opinions?

In any case, go for it! I've liked the J's front lip for a long while. Then again, I liked AJR Joey's APR front splitter with HFP lip a lot too... Stuck out too far, but if it was a bit shorter, I'd sport that like Jordans.

lol I've liked the Js lip for a while. Basically I'm asking for opinions whether to keep the HFP front lip and spend the money on the HFP sides, or sell the HFP front lip and use the money for the Js lip and get the HFP sides down the line.

IMO the Js lip with the HFP sides/rear would look awesome besides the fact that I've YET to see this on anyones car (greg from GT Motoring said there's less than 15 of the lips in the USA)

i think painting the J's front lip with the HFP rear and sides, would look real good, with the Js painted like the link above, it sort of looks like the mugen lip for the Mugen Si.

Yeah greg is a great guy, I bought my rpf1's off of him. I'm actually going to run a apr splitter with the hfp kit (so I can kinda winterize my car by removing the splitter) but the j's lip looks hot I'd say do it and leave the side plain though. pics .....
