So that ultrex lip is basically the same minus the sti badge?

What about honeycomb grills? Does anyone make replicas of those / where could I source a genuine one?

Better off getiting the lip from OnTheRun motorsports in melb. They are made of PU so very flexible (hard to snap)

Grill is genuine only from japan, unless you're good with a dremel but will never look the same..

Im not a fan of knock offs, but I have the PU STi style lip on the GT purely for the wifes parking (or inability thereof too park).

She has put it into a gutter twice to date with no damage other than some scuffs which you can wet sand as its plain PU. Last time round she bent it down, but a few minutes with a heat gun and a long piece of timber on a jack to make it straight and its all good again.

Its actually a direct mould of a genuine STi lip. :wink:

Highly recommended.

I got the lip too off OTR...good lip and fits well. Also that grill you can get straight from Subaru OZ, from an 08 STI. Under $500 it should be.

Dunno about the price on the grill, the grill was sold on the '08 STI liberty that was sold in Australia though so can get it through your local dealer.

Do the lips from OTR look the part or are they a bit cheap looking?
many people used them or seen them?

im still tossing up whether genuine is worth the coin

cheers

If cruisn recommends something, then it will look the part.

Definitely look the part, but only if they're straight. I've had a few guys who have STI lips ask if my replica (OTR) was a genuine STI unit.

Tony, if you're still after an STI honeycomb grille, Rome is selling one for $300 here --> viewtopic.php?f=68&t=22686
