All Type R's had some sort of a front lip that made it look much better than stock, but I don't see any lip on this CTR, just the bare bumper.

Ryus, the lip was added for more downforce, and yes it does work at speed. I guess the aerodynamics of this model have taken care of the front aero problems.

oooh, I see a rear difuser.
