Yes that is definitely the lip and definitely the badge to suit.

I wonder how many he sold when the price was jacked up????? :lol:

The usual seller I get my STi badges off has none in stock currently. They only charge $10 with free shipping from Hong Kong.

Just sent xcess motorsports and eBay message, requesting prices for 5 lips delivered to seperate addresses as well as 10 lips (potential group buy)

Will report back when I know what's going on. Will make a formal GB thread if they come through with a decent price (and enough interest on our part)

They sold none at $375 :D

They put the price back yesterday and already had one sell. I guess they worked out that noone would bother paying $400+ for a non-genuine lip. :lol:

I asked them about bulk buy when I first purchased mine.

They said the price was already rock bottom so no. Hopefully you have better luck.

Although the box they send it in could easily fit 5 and they weigh next to nothing.

I also asked, got a reply along the lines of "we don't want to package them together as that may cause them to break". I was like, whatever dirt bag!

I've bought an lip about 2 weeks ago from them - 555motorsports, they're in Clayton South and I picked it up. Honestly they aren't Subaru people, they're more of "Honda" people and when I was asking questions he really didn't know... But one thing I didn't like hearing was "Oh if it doesn't fit you cant get a refund but swap it over is ok" which is against the ACCC laws. Anyway I bought the 1st set and I found out it simply didn't fit at all and it was for Gen 4 Series 2 (06-08) GTB or Spec B bumper not standard, and other one he had was plain one (which was suit for 04-06), the plain one holes does line up with mine but the piece was too "wide" and I had to modify to fit. Photos to come soon. Did that last week and painted it then fitted it on my Liberty, I like it but you have to re-learn yourself to not to hit anything in front!!!!

The first one looks closer to an STi replica than the second ... though the images for the second one aren't that good.
Even though on the second one it has JDM in the item description.


Hey.. been trying to make sense of all this..

Can anyone confirm whether the second lip will fit a my08 GT

Face lifted non GTB bar..

Yes or no?
STI lip, Whiteline suspension goodies, KIDO tune.. more to come..
