i just got an email that said the lip i need can't get here for another month. (same lip i have now) and i really refuse to go with other brands because the polyurethane just isn't the same. HPT really is a nice product....so now where can i get a good CS lip? i don't want the STi style, even though i just got the OEM sti skirts....


i need a daily soon....probably because i want the cosworth SC and half cage.

Ya know I love the sti lip. But like the one we have now, just soooo many people have it. Unfortunately having the BRZ we are limited in options that actually don't look like crap. Its tough man. I really want to replace my whole entire kit but am up in the air on what i want. I have an idea...but with what i'm doing now, saving up for my wedding, and the 4 weddings i have this year, it won't be happening anytime soon lol.

Daily is the best thing ever. Only thing that sucks, is once you have one, you never want to drive the brz around lol

this is why i'm going with STi side skirts. the big spats in the rear that i have. the type 3 @Drivewaylabs diffuser whenever i can get that, and then the CS front lip. i'm ditching the splitter and waiting for my STi underskirt to arrive (yes i spent money on a piece of rubber molding). i think that will be the nice clean look i'm going for.

skirts will be half paint matched.

then off to body shop.

then it will sit for about 10 weeks as i study for the bar exam...and then have to buy a ring, I FEEL you on the weddings. got 3 myself. damn it. i don't want to go but i can't say no. taking away my mod moneyed!!!! so as of the next few weeks the car mods come to a screeching halt. but if i pass the NY bar exam first try i'm buying an LSD and a shorter final drive my graduation/bar gift to myself.

i want a RHD daily though...wtf is wrong with me

thats going to look good man. I wanted to do the sti sides for so long with the half paint..but just didn't pull the trigger. SWP is such a bitch to match so it made me nervous haha. Thats going to look awesome on your car, can't wait to see it. Also love the driveway labs diffuser, was looking at that the other day I also love the rubber chin piece too We are way too similar dude lol

It sucks for sure but such is life. I was doing so good with not buying parts either, and like usual out of nowhere i get this itch and end up going nuts for like a week and then i'm back at square one I hadn't bought a car part since last summer up until about two months ago.

RHD would be awesome. I actually almost sold the BRZ and went on to something else but for now I am keeping it for a bit longer.

the other issue is i've been driving turbo cars again lately, and fuck i miss just the stupidity....my canadian friends keep sending me ads for r32's. you don't understand how tempted i am. but that is a horrible financial move on my part.

i genuinely don't know where to buy a lip from.

I also just tried to order the hpt lip and got the one month backorder estimate. I cut my losses and canceled the order and went with the Bayson r lip and side skirts. For the price I will see what the quality is like and go from there. Loving the car man

If you are still looking in a few days when my Bayson lip comes in I'll make sure to update you on how it's packaged. I figure it's worth a shot they have great eBay feedback and if I'm not happy it's through PayPal so I'm not worried about being out of the money

hmm....honestly i would paint it black...but i really don't want carbon or anything hard on the front. one nice spirited drive and it'll be in pieces.
