Default 99 Civic lip question???

I am having trouble deciding which lip I want. My two choices are the Type R stye and the Mugen style, I did have a mugen style abd I liked it but it cracked due to my car being lowered 2.5 inches. This time I am going to be smart and get a Urethane lip. Which one should I get?

This is what the car looked like with the Mugen lip:

I have the mugen style and i think it looks better if you are going to leave it black or unpainted, but if you are going to paint it the same color as the car then get the type r lip because it makes it look like a si front. I thought the abs lips were the good ones to have..

ABS sucks, cracks too easily.

Urethane is the shiznit.

urethane warps. I never had a problem with ABS, I guess you need to get better in your driving skills so you won't crack the ABS lip.

My driving is fine. Crappy roads and being slammed doesn't help.
Plus I wasn't even driving my car when the lip was cracked.

ABS is fine with me too.
To solve your problem...
Since you know your car is "slammed",take it easy on crappy roads and don't let anyone else drive your car.
ABS plastic is not the problem.
