Front lip - to paint or not to paint?

Postby tangcla » Sat Sep 01, 2007 4:24 pm

I'm thinking about getting the STi front lower lip and the STi rear lip spoiler.

What's the cheapest place that people have seen them for?

Or, is anyone selling one?


edit: To paint or not to paint the front lip when mine arrives...?

Yeah I was looking for one also before... but I couldn't find it anywhere except that dude on Ebay.

Was too hard so I gave up.

OH boys you only have to ask

STI front lower lip always in stock in Japan

only the boot lip will take a bit longer cos subaru may not have the colour in stock at the time

The cheapest I have seen a front lip is on japanparts.com for about $650 to your door, maybe some can organise a group buy :D

But the way I see it, I don't have any black accents on my car so painted silver should look better... but it'll get scratched easier...

I'll have to decide when I get it :D
