yup, no lip kit on a SW looks terrible. Most of the tc I seen don't have any lip kit. This would probably be the first big mod I would do if my TC didn't have it.

My plans are like this (in order of purchase)

1. Tein H-Tech & Parking Light Led
2. VRD style fog lights w/ 6000k hid
3. Lip Kit
4. Progress Rear Sway bar

What do you guys think?
1. Drop it + Sway Bar (do it at the same time)
2. Lip Kit (makes the ride look a lot better)
3. VRD fog light

I think the RS1 Front looks good with the Five Axis sides and rear.

Someone on SL has already done this combo and it looks very nice. This is the route I'm going too. Already have the RS1 CF Front Lip. Gonna grab the sides and rear soon. The quality of the material (Urethane FTW!) and fit is top notch.

I was gonna do RS1 all around but it's ABS Plastic which can break/snap pretty easily. Urethane is a bit more durable/flexible. Plus the kit comes primered ready to paint - so that should cut down on the painting cost. Basically no prep work is needed.

But if you have to choose between the RS1 and OEM Kit. I vote RS1. Looks more aggressive.

Molded 5-axis > 5 Axis > OEM > no lip > RS1

The RS1 is too Honda-like and the fact that it has two completely random and pointless holes just boggles my mind.

If you want to add the NIA in, then

Molded 5-axis (cleanest look around) > 5 Axis (cleanest lip) > OEM (the way the car should come from the factory) > no lip (stock) > NIA (ricey lip) > RS1 (Mugen styled rice)

The NIA is too aggressive for a lip kit. Lip kits should be clean and subtle. If you want aggressive, get a full body kit, don't just throw on some extra plastic.
