That looks like its the 90mm Euro lip too, even harder to get.

I really miss my C. Here's the factory US lip:

Well if you'd make a mold of it and spray it with gloss black to match the car it wouldn't be that bad.

Care to share what powers that car?

The shineauto lip is cheap enough, and the best looking. Why do people have to go through the hassle of finding a lip that will fit or go home depot? Doesn't make sence to me.

In any case, car looks hot.

I know WHAT it means, im just amused that he would apply that tag to that car that is all. If he means the weight of the motor that has been debated and proven that it does not change the 50/50 weight distribution of the car

some are even more reasonable, especially when you factor in shipping costs
You guys who drive your car everyday probably go through more in gas money in a month then the cost of a nice upgrade like a lip.

I belive he was more talking about how it looks like it might have upgraded springs if even that. You know so the suspension is balanced with the power he has under the hood not the weight of a v8.

Looks decent, as far as the lip is concerned. I'm more interested in the wheels though, haha. Size, and offset? Also brand?

Why do people think that a lip that doesn't extend to the the begining of the wheel arch "fits"? Like that 626 lip, they look broken and out of place from the side. Looks like this guy has a nice crack in his on the passenger side on the front shot.

That just doesn't fit well in my eyes. Too short on the side, angles look "off", just not quite right.

I think they are the 16x8 +0 Cragers from Summit racing. I know what the bolt pattern is for our cars, but have been having issues converting it to what is on the site. Can anyone kick down a part number?

This might help.

I might be wrong about the offset since I'm not a wheel guru.

Apologies for threadjacking.
