Hello,

I'm shopping around for a non-genuine front lip for my MY07 B-Spec. I cam across this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/360495096801 ... 1438.l2649 Has anyone had experience or know about this company and product?

Interested in if you have have any other suggestions for under AUD$300.

Never used them, but I did email them awhile ago about combined shipping for 2 lips - they replied with "We unfortunately cannot combine shipping because of dimension and weight of the item".
Then I emailed this seller http://www.ebay.com/itm/130758370844?item=130758370844&viewitem=&sspagename=ADME:X:eRTM:MOTORS:1123&vxp=mtr with the same question and got this response "We do not offer combined shipping but if you purchase directly we can offer you both items shipped for $300 USD.
If you are interested just send us your Paypal email address and shipping address. Write email like this: xcessmotors2010 (a) gmail (dt) com".

Basically neither of them give a shit about opening a box and putting another lip in the box.

Both of those come in under $300AUD anyways, only other (cheap) option is Ultrex.

I bought my lip from 4caroption in the US and am very happy with it. Was landed in Australia in under 2 weeks and arrived in an undamaged box.

I also bought one from OTR Motorsports in Clayton, Vic.

Comparing the two, they're both pretty accurate replicas of the STI lip, although I found the 4caroption one fit better around the sides and has held up better under the sun (no sagging). Both are made from Polyurethane so they flex to a degree if pushed against a gutter (as opposed to genuine STI and Ultrex lips)

Just chipping in here - My lip is from these guys and the shipping is not in a box - the lip is simply 'wrapped'

I suppose a bit of flex is ok... better than breaking.

So out of 4caroption, Ultrex and OTR Motorsports which is the best value?

Yeah, that bit of flex is a great characteristic. Really helps on steep driveways

IMO, the 4caroption is better than both other replica lips.

New to the forum, just wanted to say thanks for the info guys.

Also looking to get an after-market lip for my MY10 liberty; was originally looking at the ebay seller 4caroption. Sucks they don't do combined shipping, to chip in with someone else on the forum.

Shame on OTR Motorsports they're just near me, would have been good to deal with a local dealer.

michaelfinger: can you post back if you do find a lip.

sorry to hijack this thread but is there any difference between:

http://www.japanparts.com/db/parts_deta ... ARCH_page=

and

http://www.ultrex.com.au/subaru-liberty ... p-336.html

don't want to start a new topic for such a small question.

thanks

Yeah the ultrex link is for a "STi replica" front lip.

The japan parts link is for a genuine STi "under lip". It's an additional piece of rubber you stick underneath your front lip.
