OEM: In my opinion looks the best (not too big not too small) just right.
GReddy: Too big for my liking, looks like a lawn mower when your lowered.
Mugen: Good luck finding a genuine one, there are replicas out there but fitment is always an issue and there has also been problems fitting JDM fogs lights in the replica lips
Type R: No such thing, its photoshopped, the closest thing is the Type S lip (http://yhst-1408381693991.stores.yahoo.net/jdmprtysfrli.html) you could say its like a smaller subtle OEM lip.
WWR: Doesn't look bad, don't got much info on them, but don't really like those holds or the part in the middle that goes in.

Maybe im biased to the OEM because i have one :p but yeah hope that helped a bit in your decision.

3. There was no Type R. Looks more like a Motegi knock off to me.
4. That isn't WWRS, it is a GReddy lip, but filled/shaved. Only really practical for a show car, since on the road it would probably start to crack within a week. Seen a custom made plastic bumper that is basically the same, but with a filled OEM lip though. Looked good and a single piece, so no shifting/cracking between the different materials/pieces.

Only really practical options here are OEM or Mugen replica where as said you may have fitment issues, no metal inserts, no Mugen badge, no Perspex covers and you have to make custom brackets for fog lights.

To me the GReddy looks like a cow catcher from a steam train. Also in the above it would look better if the front splitter went all the way back. Could just be the photo though.

if your lucky enough to have an OEM lip kit then id stay with that, the money could be spent on something more worthwhile elsewhere
