Currently I have the oem front lip, and I'm picking up rs1 sides this weekend. I've searched and haven't found anybody that has mixed the nia rear lip with anything else.
The reason I'm considering the nia rear lip is because I have the megan racing cat-back (which is an angled canister style exhaust), and the nia rear lip is the only one which accommodates an angled exhaust (not to mention i just like the way the nia rear looks).
Now I don't want to hear people complain about fitment because I WILL make it fit, i've fitted my share of horrible fitting body kits/lips/etc... and yes I know that nothing will fit as perfectly, with no modification, as the oem kit.
The only thing I'm thinking is that the rear lip of the nia sits a bit high on the rear bumper and may not flow with the oem front and rs1 sides.
Let me hear your opinions...In the end i know it's my decision but I haven't seen a thread that debates this yet...and I'm curious as to what you guys (and gals) think.

your not gonna be able to fit an angled exhaust with the five-axis (not without alot of work) so i say go with oem rear, or if not then rs1 rear, definitely not nia
just know that you will need some adjustment of the exhaust to get it to where it wont burn your lip!

I don't think either on the list will flow perfectly with the bottom edge of the RS1 sideskirts. I'd say go for the 5 axis rear since that would seem interesting to see.
The OEM front and rs1 sides is a nice mix-up.

^^ all the OEM parts do not pass the lowest point of the bumper by maybe more then 1/4 of an inch because the front, rear are mounted flush on the bottom of the bumper by wheel well area which is the lowest point of car cosmetically.... the side skirts are a direct replacement and match the same height as the installed front and rear lip...
the 1/4 of an inch in directly attributed to the thickness of the OEM lip kits plastic. (FYI)

haha mainly due to the whole angled exhaust problem. I know with the oem or rs1 all I have to do is adjust it slighty though and it will be fine, so now it's between those 2 and I'm leaning towards rs1 at the moment.
