Heating up the tape helps as well as an IPA wipe down.

They are an Ebay seller.

Lip Kit $350

Rear Diffuser $60

STi emblems 15/each*3 45

It is 5 dollars cheaper to get the kit plus the diffuser (rather then buying everything separately)...the badges are optional. But I am looking for authentic looking without paying $1300

NOTE: STi replica is ABS plastic front...so it will crack if you hit it...its not urethane which is more bendable.

Thank you very much! Woot!

I actually bought a urethane STi style front lip from a local member over the weekend. I love it.

I'm going to add the STi style side and rear later. Should go for these since they won't likely get scraped.

Checked the local member with this BaysonR STi lip kit, the quality was great!

Actually I was trying to drift from a side street into my nephew's driveway the other week and undershot the driveway by about 3 feet and wound up slowly sliding into the snow berm. No crack on the front lip! It's bolted on extra tight, though. No flex. That's the key.

They do sell the individually if you want to save some money since you already have the front lip. I would recommend paint the ABS plastic ones glossy black...the ones I have seen blew me away. The urethane might crack the paint since it is pliable.

Yes! I do want to paint them all glossy black when I get them. Not sure if my front lip can be painted since it's urethane..

lol I really should stop, though, or else someone will get hurt one of these days... My dream is to drift one of our circular on-ramps all the way around. I've only been able to keep it about a third and had to "reset" myself. I just don't think there's enough power, especially with gravity fighting me it makes it tough.

I want to paint my STI lips gloss black, but I'm still not sure. I think I'd like to paint them then get the clear vinyl overlaid, but it seems like a lot of investment for something that cost me $350 shipped. haha

Filled up, averaged 28.7 last tank (hand figured) and got stuck there for an extra 15 minutes. One guy talked about the coilovers I got and one guy talked about how he wanted a BRZ. Enjoyed the talk though.
