What STI lip is this from?

I purchased this STI lip from bates a little while ago and I'm looking at selling it. Only problem is I have no idea what car it's off.

It didn't fit mine (2.5i - 2008)
Didn't fit bates' car (3.0 - 2004-06)

It does come up on the sides. The middle ridge part is 97cm as the bird flys. Seems to fit the depth of the Lib perfectly just that the ridge part is too high for too long on my car.

Original thread is here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16708

Any ideas? :(

It must be something post facelift as the prefacelift lips don't have that little ridge sticking up at the ends

Ok, so if isn't mine.. what other postface bumpers are there? 2.5 turbo variants all had the same throughout postfacelift? 3.0 was different for a bit early on in the facelift and then they made them the same as the 2.5 turbo's?

I think it might fit this guy:

bates' mentioned that it was close to his car, but the ridge wasn't long enough. Perhaps they made minor changes to the 3.0R but kept it fairly similar.

Anyone with a 3.0R like above want to measure up for me? :angel:

Looks like a gtb lip because of the ridges on the ends

its too round to be a GTB lip too :?

EDIT: Chris, i think you might be on the money. Mickyboy has a 3.0R with that front bar, maybe send him a PM?

Still no luck. Anyone else with a 3.0R on here with the same look as the above photo?

Could be for a 06' JDM spec B bar?

Have you tried fitting it to one yet?

No I haven't.

Based that it goes up at the sides, I figured it would be for a facelift GENIV.

If it's not the 2.5i/GT and not the GT-B/RB, the only other bumper is the 3.0R to my knowledge.

Mickyboy also measured his 3.0R and said it was around the 98cm mark, so that sounds about right.

I have it in the for sale section here: viewtopic.php?f=68&t=20188
