Out of curiosity, how did you find this? I requested this from Bayson R and got no feedback.

If people want to throw a STi badge on there, who cares at the end of the day, to each their own...

I have that front lip and think it's pretty decent. I did do a thick layer of plastidip instead of leaving it as is though.
It's the one that looks like the genuine sti lip.

Whats wrong with Jons lip? Was thinking of getting it with these side skirts and rear spats.

The lip looks much better online than in person. I ordered one when it was first available. After unpacking and inspection, I immediately sold it.
I've owned a few lips, rear spats and side skirt combos and I found the build quality of this lip to be very cheap. The plastic was very flimsy and thin comparison to others like the HT Auto or the CS replicas. The design is great, quality was lacking in my opinion. You get what you pay for in this case.

Quality is definitely lacking, I may do the version 2 they came out with. People just have to remember you get what you pay for, a buddy of mine has the HT auto and had to respray his front lip also.

@JPxM0Dz do you have picture of actual installation of your side skirt?

TeamZleep · 11-21-2013, 01:42 AM

Man, just as I got home to buy these I noticed they were sold out.

Until the next batch.....

Kodename47 · 11-21-2013, 02:47 AM

Having seen HT Auto parts, both front and rear, in person I can tell you that the quality isn't amazing. All of these cheaper parts will need some form of work to look great IMO.

The finish isn't perfect I'll agree, but the thicker plastic will definitely hold up a lot better than some of the others out there, which is was I was referring to as better build quality

I don't even have the skirts yet... Still being shipped!

Andrew025 · 11-21-2013, 09:00 PM

Got mine today.
Didn't have time to install but they feel pretty nice and solid. Will probably install on Sunday.

I wanted to get these but wanted to see the quality on them, etc. Is it me or do those bumps on the back end rounder than the genuine one? Either that or my eyes are messing with me.
