Front lip is polyurethane. As is the CS side skirts.

This is the exact lip I got. OP's lip is different from mine for the record.

I have the same lip and I painted it flat black, looked sick until I started to spray the matte clear coat. Now I it looks like shit, did you use clear coat or just the black paint?

didn't use anything.

I just put it on right out of the box.

Did you have to drill any holes or remove the wheels to install this? Thanks!

One of my friends, who happened to sell ABS/PU cosmetic parts on eBay told me he got bunch of stuff for 86s. When I asked about STi replica lip, he said yes.

======UPDATE======
Now he has them on eBay!

I ordered quickly, and it arrived quick too.

This means, it really shouldn't matter where you order from. Fitment, quality, and finish changes all the time, from what I've been reading. Not to mention, the manufacturer is working to make things better every batch they make.

Installation was easier than I expected, even though I had no previous experience. There was no installation guide, but things were pretty self explanatory.

However, I didn't use all the screws it came with. I decided that about 4 on each side will work. The package comes with rubber lining, presumably for the 'wing' part of the lip. I ended up not using them because I had hard time putting them in place. Not to mention, it didn't look that great once I got them on.

Fitment is surprisingly good (as you can see in the photos).

I decided not to paint/plasti-dip it yet. In my opinion, it looks good as it is.. and when I get my side skirt and rear spat, I will try to match the color all together.

Enjoy the photos, and ask any questions you might have

I don't know the policy about posting links to vendors/eBay, but here's my friend's shop.

Here's a catch though, he hasn't posted STi style Lip on eBay yet. So I don't think you can order from him right now.

Lol he's selling a replica lip for $300 more than what a REAL STi lip can be had for?

Yea my Bayson R CS lip has pretty decent fitment given the fact that is a rep.

Bowen · 03-23-2016, 12:52 PM

I've thought about picking up the Bayson, how's the finish compared to the real one? Did you guys paint it?
