Found some new STI style front lips, what do you think?

Think you could post a pic? I'd like to see how off center it is.

Which one did you buy (i.e. who did you buy from)? I know Jons Motoring made one but heard it was weak in quality, so when I saw these on eBay I figured they might be different. Every one of the links I posted is from a different eBay seller so I'm not sure how different each would be.

Typically most of these lips probably come from the same supplier. The eBay sellers are just the middle man and these are drop shipped from the manufacturer to the customer.

Aha! That's exactly my thinking, I saw the one from Bayson R, and I know they make good stuff, but can't go with ABS for the front lip, so I was waiting for more PU options. I actually had a nice conversation with someone from Bayson R about the possibility of them making a PU variant of their STI lip, and he said they had no plans to make one originally but they may in the next few months due to requests. I think they're on vacation right now or something till tomorrow, at least their eBay store is closed until tomorrow, so I don't know if they have anything new in production yet but I figure one of these lips has to be also of good quality. Just not sure which.

Lol that's my car on the first link.
I'm surprised someone would use my messy ass garage pics to sell a product.

Lol that's funny, I thought those pics looked a little unprofessional (no offense ;D) but it looks good on your car! Which one did you purchase and how do you like it?

This is the one I had.

I had a minor accident and it ripped a chunk of the lip off. So I thought I would give the bayson R lip a shot this time.
I'll probably post some comparisons once I get it.

Damn, sorry to hear, interesting you're going with the Bayson R one now, since ABS is even MORE fragile than PU, but I would LOVE to see some comparison shots, and your thoughts on each one's look and fitment. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, I figure both will be destroyed in an accident anyway so not much harm going with the ABS since I'm not lowered or anything.

Lol damn, interesting way of looking at things, cause I can never even imagine my car getting touched by another car

If you buy the lip make sure you have lip liner to fill in the gaps.

Lip liner, so now I gotta put makeup on it too?

But really, where do you get lip liner from, is like caulking?

Its the rubber moulding that you place along the edges of bodykits. The shop that I bought my lip from had it on hand so I don't really know where else to buy the stuff. Perhaps eBay?
