RMR lip ?'s

ok so i've read through most of the threads about this and i have herd it go both ways, but i think ive got it. just making sure. so tell me if im wrong.

the rmr type 1 lip requires some cutting of the bumper and will hang a little lower then the stock oz side skirts.

the rmr type 2 lip does not require cutting and matches up well with stock oz side skirts.


if the info i have is correct i would like to get the type 2 lip. if any one has one for sale let me know. i also have the stock oz lip or full ken style bumper i could trade.

Dammit that's the lip I want, but I would color match it. I think on yellow, it looks good if you have an intercooler filling in the space and the wheels flow with it ala ne evo's car. For silver or red I'd color match it myself.

Type 1 lip matches perfectly with stock Oz skirts, and yes a semi nasty operating procedure is required to fit it. But is worth it

reason I thought of painting it black if I did go that route is because i have a black/red scheme. anthractite wheels and CF all over. Blacked out heads. I think it would flow nicely but id have to photoshop it both ways first.

It certainly won't look bad, I just prefer color matched myself so it looks stock.
