Got it today at 9.30am.

Fast service! I like

Cool. you will need extra screws to keep it up nice and get no sag. I used 4 speed nuts and 4 10G mushroom head screws.

no really, do as mark says, so you dont have to hairdryer it twice! works a treat

Was it supposed to come with any screws? Mine had none included ... just the lip

Mark what screws and nuts did you use in total?

Since I have an STi and the holes are already there, I would need different screws? (first owner of the car destroyed the lip and threw it out )

Thanks for the advice fellas

Heres how to attach it. I used 1/4" washers, 10G x 20 washer head screws and 10G panel clips/speed nuts. All this is readily available at Bursons, Repco, AutoBarn, Supercheap.

You will only need 4 of each. Drill a pilot hole through the lip and bar with them pressed together. Push the speed nut over the front bar edge flat side down. Screw through the lip and the bar into the speed nut. Done.

you need these ones mate.

Ah sweet, tho those are for the front 4 holes only?

What about the big middle one and the 4 side ones?
My 2 outside holes look like they would need a screw that requires a certain thread and the other 2 outside ones are just bumper and empty space above it, so same deal as the 4 fronts?

Also did you hairdrier yours after you fitted it? The box looks slightly small for the lip and its a bit outta whack

I can take a pic of the other fitting parts required tomorrow.

I actually drilled those 4 holes extra. Wait til its fitted then use a hairdryer to straighten out the wobbles.

[tkdbboy]

Ah awesome!

thanks mate .. much appreciated

got mine fitted today, gave it a quick coat of matt black Plastidip to take the shine off it, Fits very well and lines up with al lthe mounting holes on the bumper. i added about 4 self tappers to the middle section to keep it fluch against the bumper.

I made the mistake of fitting it and them painting, it and when trying to clean up the overspray of on the bumper i scratched the top of the lip in one or two areas so ill need to take it off again and respray it. STI badge waiting to go on too

Looks like it fits up well.

FYI they now have the later model lips in stock again.

anyone know if there is a version available to fit the jdm spec b bumpers? My friend is looking for one for his wr limited one and mine didn't fit his. Its the same as blue one pictured in above link but its an 03-06 model he has

If there is, Dan, I have a feeling there would be a huge market out there for all the frustrated 3.0R-SpecB owners who don't want to pay huge sums for a lump of plastic.

And if you do find a source for a good, cheap one, let us know!

cheers,

what he is referring to Brad is the 2.0GT spec B bumper, and not the 3.0R spec B bumper

and to answer your question Dan, i doubt there is, but you dont know if you dont try

[legacydan]

yes sorry i meant the 2.0GT spec b. If the lip thats pictured in this link fits the bumper pictured i think that should do him

Im 99% sure they have the wrong pic for that lip.

Thats an 04-06 JDM spec B front and the lip is listed as 08-10.

Also the Genuine lip for that bar pictured is a tad different to the one shown.

HOWEVER, the lip for the 08-10 is about a 95% match, just doesnt sit out as far in the front.....

[SH30RB]

there are two listings from xcess motorsport :/

first one is the one that everyone has for $210 del (first one) but is listed for $460 del
second one has exactly the same listing but looks a little different in the picture...

first lip, same as Marks (cruisn) listed for $460

Second option with the same listing and price but different listing.

im confused any help is great guys

[cruisn]

First one is for 04-06 GT and has increased MASSIVELY in price.

Second one is for 07-09 GTB and 3.0B.
