so im trying to decided wether or not im going to pick up a lip kit. if i do im going with a rs1 lip kit. and i did go through all 64 pages of the lip kit thread to. but still stuck.. so i need help deciding cause if i do go with one it will be by next month. let me know what you guys think here cause im stuck on which would look better. cause i will have some 18x9.5 +35 ether grids or torques im hoping by december. and i love the clean look but also love the lip kit look. i need some input from people on both sides.

oh and im a csm. and should have these things installed also by the end of september..vrd fogs,tint, debadge rear, anzo tails.

depending how low you want to go. If you are going to be low go with the oem if your are going to be 4x4 with rotas then just stick with the rs1 lip.

im seriously thinking of going with the rs1. cause at the moment i cant go any lower that what im on im on htechs now. cause i have to go over 10 huge speed bumps to get home and i scrape on the htechs. so untill i move out of where i am no moar lower :(. so im thinking rs1 kit with some 18x9.5 +35 wheels should give it a decent look untill i can eventually go lower.

I would go OEM front lip or keep it clean. And u're on h-tech, rs1 n oem lip won't give u trouble on da speed bumps. I m on S-techs w/ oem front lip, the only trouble is some baking or going frm the steep areas.

i mean i lvoe the look of the oem to be honest but i like the rs1 to somthing about the rs1 i think gives it a pretty aggressive look plus the oem is out of my price range at the moment. so its ether rs1 or keep it clean. buidling on a budget lol. so got keep everything reasonable.

....sounds like you're just looking for the approval of SL.
If you're thing is to be told what to do then here:" Leave it clean and slam it!"

no no approval of sl is needed. i mean in the end im going to go whichever i decide i want to do. i was just curious as to the thoughts of sl on both options.

but because of where i live and the speedbumps i have to go over slamming right now isnt a option. hopefully in the future it will be slammed. but have decided rs1 kit it is, will be ordered next week......(thanks to some of the wonderful cars in the lip kit thread)

Second best to OEM. But I'm sure you'll love it, just make sure the front is even when you install it and not pointing up.

yea i would order the oem but i dont have the money in the budget that i got worked out, build on a budget lol. so rs1 kit is what i ended up with. yea i will def make sure everything is good and straight. thanks for the advice on the front lip didnt even think about that.

so i guess my next question before i order anything i was looking around on ebay. and i can get the whole kit alot cheaper through ebay by wondering are the lip kits that are on ebay have the same kind of fitment as racing solutions? im guessing they are the p1 kits on ebay which should be the same as the rs1?

I'd go with Racing Solutions cause i wouldn't wanna get the run around from a stupid vendor. If you decide to do eBay make sure their rating is high and they've sold at least a couple of the same kits.

By the way.......best tC with the RS1 Imo

ok so on last question. say i did decide to go ahead and buy on ebay, and i find sellers that have really good seller ratings and have sold some of the pieces before that i have, i mean are all the lips that same as racing solutions i mean? if i remember right seeing even though they are ebay they are all made by the same manufacturer? and just also browsing around has any ordered from customizemyscion.com?

If you're going to get the RS1 kit, either get it from RacingSolution.com (ask for Brian) or CustomtC.com. Both sell the lip kit and both are decent.

to be honest because im really tight budget to get this lip kit, ebay is probolly where im going to end up ordering it, i can save some money that way, and put it towards other parts.

my question that i still need answered is are the lips that are on ebay are they made the same as the racing solution lips? i mean they all come from the same manufacture right? thats what im trying to find out mainly
