MISSING: STI Lip LAST SEEN: Kwinnana Freeway :(

Postby 05GTLIB » Thu Nov 29, 2012 4:44 pm

Hey after driving over a tarpaulin in the middle of the freeway this morning (couldn't see it soon enough to avoid thanks to the truck in front of me) my car is now without a front lip. I found a seller on ebay selling genuine ones for $599 shipped which i think is quite reasonable however thought i would try my luck on here first, i will also consider a replica providing it is of descent quality, second hand or new,
Thanks guys

Whats left of previous lip

oh no :( its just not the same after losing the front lip

Mine came off in January this year, i spent quite a few months without a front lip and to me, it always looked like something was missing

Have you thought about an Ultrex lip, or those Xcess lips? you can get those to melbourne for around $200, unsure if it would be much more for perth tho

Ultrex replica would make sense as Rob is over in Perth also. But I have read that they are not as flexible as other lips which becomes an issue, also they are more expensive than other brands.

Definitely hit up eBay and get a PU replica lip shipped from the US for $200 incl del. that's what most of us have done and are very happy with results.

Yeh i couldn't agree more, just looks so bare without it and less aggressive. Yeh i have considered Ultrex, i guess i need to decide weather or not i would prefer to go genuine, hmmm, i ll have to have a think about it, cheers
