So I've been looking for this lip, or something like it, for awhile. I don't know where to find it. Anyone know where I can find it?

Cut off of something else. They had to flex out the side lower 'wings' to make it fit, so you're not looking for a Mazda part. That said, good luck trying to locate the origin unless you can talk to the owner.

I thought I had read a thread on here that it was from a first gen Mazda 3? He cut off the lower portion of the bumper and modified it for fitment and looks. Could be wrong though.

Go to Octane Motorsports and look at the lip for the "2004-2005 Mazda 3, 4 door sedan", K-Style made buy Ikon Motor sports. Looks like the same one. There was another there made buy Ai T Racing, FRP Ken Style fits 2003-2014 Mazda 3's 4 dr sdn kinda looks the same too.
Cheers

That is indeed the Mazda 3 lip, I believe he cut the middle out to shorten it and riveted it back together. I was thinking of doing the same thing or making a custom one from aluminum. I have not seen a readily available one, maybe a modded datsun one would fit?

A friend of mine who started his own fabrication shop has made a few duckbill type lips for VWs and I think it would look perfect on the FB. Look for "Hard Work Fab" on Facebook.
