I've been doing some comparisons... Am I weird?

I look at this:

And then this:

And I don't know which one I like better!

Do I HAVE to like the JDM lip better? Does everyone else feel the JDM lip is the answer to all MX-3 prayers? I know it's sooo hard sought after and getting one is just about as common as I dunno... but seriously, do I have to like the JDM lip better?

I think the stock lip is fine but I really think that Bumper is one of the bast for the mx-3.

You must like the JDM lip. I prefer the stock one I think... no wait, I've been told I like the JDM one better.

(But I do prefer the stock one, just don't tell those voices in my head...)

Voices in head: He prefers the JDM one, and so do you. It's sought after...

I think the JDM one is ugly along with the JDM skirts... I like the bumper with the fog holes, but don't care if it has them or not.

I also like the stock lip better than the jdm, especially when on a bumper w/ fog lights!

JDM bumper with fogs and tow hook, with NA lip. My $.02. I don't really like the gap in the middle, Charlie is getting a quote to get these produced cheap as I type this... If the lip was solid all the way across my opinion might change. I don't care how rare a part is, I care what it does to my car and how I think it should look.

personally I hate the blitz fronts, and the jdm one looks just like it, the stock NA one is simple, clean and looks good... It just needs to be made into 1 single piece

Leave it to the body/paint genius to know what looks good and clean! Too bad there isn't more enthusiasts like us. :(

I prefer the JDM lip, the NA one is just too plain and it has the ugly bump in the middle.

Where is thee option for "neither".

The JDM lip is the better of the 2, but I think that if I were to get a different bumper/style for my front, I'd go with the mazdaspeed bumper over these 2

That's like during breakfast time, asking your kid, "you can have Pancakes, waffles, or go hungry."

No, you don't say that to your kid, you simply ask, "Do you want Pancakes, or Waffles?"
and if the kid hates both, he's just going to reply, "I'm not hungry."
To which you say back to your kid, "OK, you needed to lose weight anyways."

And in the same essence did I ask, "NA or JDM?"
You're more than welcome to go hungry, though, Peanut Wigglebutt Ed.
