STi lip emblem

Postby Tonez » Sat Jul 16, 2011 1:49 pm

Was just browsing eBay and came across a STi emblem (one of many) and thought it might interest anyone with an ultrex front lip who wants to make it look (more) like the sti front lip (from far)...

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SUBARU-STI-6-SPEED-SHIFT-BADGE-GEAR-KNOB-WRX-LIBERTY-/320723640655?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4aac9e614f#ht_4504wt_954

It's not exactly the same but close enough... Probably not everyone's cup of tea but thought I would share

Thats virtually the exact dimensions of a genuine lip badge (just measured mine). Only its a little more red than STi pink. If I had an Ultrex lip, I would definitely get one of these for that price.

Wow. Good find. And a great price for what it is!


I think Hamish must have bought one of these (or found another similar), because he managed to have us all fooled at the SA Meet! :lol: Looks can be deceiving, and these things do their jobs well!

Yeah? same dimension? Thats awesome... thanks for measuring and confirming!!

Do you just love Chinese replicas sometimes...

Seeing that its made in china, it will most likely fade to pink anyways :lol:

Proof that it works...

+1 to hamish for fooling everyone :lol:

theres just so many threads floating around lately about repairing STi lips... i guess if its beyond repairs, we have a semi-cheap solution...

Let's hope this place is still selling them when i crunch my lip... its now added to my *watch list* on ebay :D

That looks pretty damn good... you cant even tell.

Looks pinky as well... compared to the reddish one on ebay

Is it me or has the badge been applied off centre a little? just kidding... :lol:

Looks good Anthony... you fooled me hehehe

Hey guys, is the badge in the attached link the same dimensions as the OEM for the front lip? (8cm long x 3cm wide)
