Rear extensions are shipping, front lips and sides are almost out of production I am told. These take a few weeks to turn around due to the hand made nature. Could be worse and be like Seibon who is 10 weeks out on anything.

So I should pay and place an order so you can ship as soon as you get it?

Got my rear spats today!! Just finished installing them. I didnt take the bumper off to do them, I couldnt figure out how to pull it off. Luckily for me I have skinny arms I was just able to get 2/3 bolts on. Added some 1" wide 3M tape along it too. Its not going anywhere. lol. I'm very impressed with the quality and the appearance it adds to the car. Highly recommend this kit.

Yeah it's nice stuff for the price point. I like it as well. Simple parts to add a more aggressive look to the car.

Any word on a brz front lip?

reyruiz191 · 03-26-2013, 07:18 AM

I came home from my girlfriends house at about 1am expecting to get some sleep for work in the morning, but I saw that my Rexpeed front lip finally arrived! Me being impatient and anxious to install it I went right at it by myself. Even though I was able to do it by myself I do recommend an extra person to lend a hand just like FT86SpeedFactory suggested. It took me about 3 hours due to me checking and double checking everything making sure that everything lined up just right before I actually drilled everything into place and the cold weather outside didn't help any, but the end result is real nice!

Here's a quick picture i'll try and get another one in the day time tomorrow, but for now its time for me to get my 2 hours of sleep before I gotta wake up for work. Thanks FT86SpeedFactory for your review, it definitely helped make my choice to buy this lip and it looks great!

[QUOTE=FT-86 SpeedFactory;708299]One layer of carbon with clear coat and one layer fiberglass. You won't have to worry about the lip cracking unless you plan to hit hard things with it

How long does the clear coated last? Will it start to peel or show age after a while and if so, how long?
Thanks a lot.

jstans84 · 03-26-2013, 11:56 PM

I am SOOOO glad that mine came in on Monday and not last week. Had it been in last week it would have gotten destroyed this past weekend. Can't wait to get back from the shop and get my kit on my car. Pics of mine will go up once it is done.

Should last quite awhile. A few years, at the very least. We had a Rexpeed carbon trunk lip on our Evo X for over 2 years with no fading or damage.

Front lips will take more of a beating than other pieces, so those might not last as long if those pesky rocks crack the clear coat.
