If you are looking for a lip similar to that style then check out this thread https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-non-technical-pictures-198/pics-chargespeed-lip-2nd-gen-904181/
There a lots of similar lips available.

 

I was just going to suggest this thread, the sniper one just looks like another copy

$200-$250 for a lip is the going rate.

Some places charge you $50-$65 to ship a lip which should be taken into consideration


There is no way they are only charging $30 to ship that from Australia, it says it cant give a accurate quote , the size of the lip kills the shipping not the weight.


Shipping Information - PLEASE READ!
The product(s) marked above will require us to calculate the freight for you due to their size. The shipping calculator below is based on weight whereas this quote must be based on dimensions.

When you confirm your order we will be in touch with shipping options and pricing. You can also call ahead on 1800 663 968 to obtain a freight quote.

 

Well he could give them a call what would it hurt right?

 

Might want to read that again. Place is in Australia. Says Lip is 250.00 + 20.00 International Order Fee, actual shipping is calculated once order is confirmed.

 

^another thing is that these lips are not pre drilled

 

if you want to own a 20+ year old "sports" car and drilling a few holes in a lip requires more skill then you posses you may wish to consider buying a new Honda, lol

Every lip I have installed that was pre-drilled, even on newer cars, required some modification of the holes.
Otherwise if you are bolting on a glass lip to a urethane bumper what ends up happening is you tend to force the bumper
to meet the holes in the lip which then slightly distorts the bumper.
Pre-drilled holes should only be thought of as a guide.

 

we are trying to get a group buy for front lips going over in the corksport vendor section...you should put your name down if interested. they have a couple to choose from.

 

LOL I totally agree of all the kits & lips I have mounted on various cars 90% of the time the damn holes were off.

 

Thanks, I already said to call them to get an actual shipping fee. I still think he could get the lip for less than the expected $500 he stated above or he could jump in on the Corksport deal like 87 t-66 said.

 

Best bang for your buck is the 626 lip for series 4 FCs. $6 picked up from your local junkyard, $10 in spray paint to make it look good.

 

shineautoproject lip for the S5 (check sig), done deal. or just the 626 lip for the S4

 

You know what would be cool is if we had a separate sub-forum dedicated to each aero piece and what is currently available on the market with pics, pricing, and the website for each item. For instance, this setup:

FC Aero Section
Lips
Series 4
Corksport
626 Lip

Series 5
Shine Auto Project
Chargespeed

etc.

Then when one lip becomes discontinued, a mod could edit the title of the thread to say (discontinued) on the end of it. Also we could have body kits specific for each series of FC. I would find this useful since every current body kit is made for the s5. I know they can just as well be mounted to s4's, but the moldings are different.

 

This seems to be true for lots of things. Good thing IKEA doesn't sell car parts.

Maybe what they should do is instead of having pre-drilled holes, just have a small mark or indention as a guide.

 

89-90 240sx SE lip on S4

 

aka "pignose"

 

I like how this person did theirs.

 

Looks to be a S14 front lip found on the Zenki models. Looks good though ^

 

Got my lip from Rob xx7... your not making them anymore?

I would say its best bang for the buck... And better than most higher priced ones.

 

Oops, *Takahashi's FC.

 

I make them on request.

I had 28 people who said they would buy them if I made them, that is just from THIS board.
So without any deposits or lists I made the mold, paid the $75 to run the group buy, ordered custom made shipping boxes and figured maybe I would sell some of them.
I think about 4 people or so ended up buying them, I actually sold more to the V8 RX7 guys then the rotary guys. I really dont care because the reason I made the lip was so I could have a new one for my car and because if I wrecked my corksport lip I did not want to pay another $60-$65 to get another one shipped to me.

And I was selling them for $190 SHIPPED, AND including hardware. My current version is VERY flexible and very light.

So when I read people asking for lips I don't offer because most of them are all talk and because I don't want the board management to get upset that god forbid a regular forum member tries to help a few people out.

 

$190 shipped seems pretty reasonable.

 

Yeah, that ain't bad at all. If I hadn't just spent $5200 on a new engine and goodies I'd tackle that like a lion on a gazelle.
