Default Kit or lip?

I'm just starting to work on my car and I'm debating whether or not to get a mugen lip for my '01 sedan, do a 98-00 bumper swap and put on the WW kit, or get this erebuni 337 front bumper.
.
price, quality, looks; any input would be greatly appreciated. pictures of accords with any of the three would also be appreciated. thanks in advance.

Well the pic that is displayed right now is an OEM bumber with a Xenon lip kit.

I'd swap to a 98-00 bumper and get a WW W-type kit if it were me...but then again that's just my taste, I have a WW kit.

Honestly...the WW lip for 98-00 installed on an 01-02 front bumper doesn't look all that bad...there is some small gaps on either side of the grill, but it's not too bad. If you have black I'd say do it in a heartbeat cause you woudn't be able to really see it that much.

But if all you want is a front lip, I wouldn't get the WW, it sits low enough I think it would look funny without the skirts and rear lip.

Will the WW rear lip fit on my '01 without a swap?

Yep, it'll fit. The front will also fit without a swap, but there will be small gaps in the grill portion because the 01-02 lower grill is longer than the 98-00 front bumper.

Okay, here's a pic for you, Accord Boi on Honduh, he has the 98-00 Wings West W-type lip kit on his 01-02. It's hard to see from this angle, but you can see a small gap in the front lip inside the lower grill because the grill is wider on the 01-02's. It's not bad at all, it may bother some people enough to swap the bumper, but I think esp with a dark color it won't show much at all.

by gap do you just mean that the wings west lip lower grill section doesn't line up with the '01 bumper lower grill? because I see that the lip comes in a little further than the bumper's lower grill. or do you mean that there is an actual space between the lip and the bumper where it's attached?
