Cheap Front Lip?

I read there was going to be a group by on a custom made plastic front lip.

The guy worked at a plastics factory or sumthin, he made a few for him and his buddy they looked great and wouldn't crack

My lip scrapes every day, sometimes REALLY bad, so I'm highly interested in this on the right side my lip is almost gone

I don't wanna spend money on a nice looking lip it'll be turned to **** in a few weeks time, nor do I want to do a cheap looking home depot one.

Ideas?

S4 or S5? i know what you are talking about i haven't seen anything about thst in a long time. if your car is S4 the 90 Mazda 626 lip is a good alternative. i picked mine up for $8 then spent about $5 painting it. most places will charge about $15 for this lip.

SouthSide, that looks great, sadly I got a S5, no fit?

Hyper, doesn't look like that 929 lip would fit right :S I can't imagin it on the 7 haha.

I'll take alook at the 240sx lip I suppose.

I wonder where that guy is If I remember there was some problem arrising with "advertising" on the forum, I searched for the thread for hours before and found nothing.

stock TII lip FTW.

the home made stuff is mainly for the S4 since bumper doesn't curve in.

but that is not the case since you have an S5. =P

that was me.. and yah the ***** shut down my thread cuz someone ratted us out saying we we're trying to sell lips without being a vendor, even though we didnt have any lips to sell. i still have one on my car, but i might be replacing it with a shine auto lip. if and when i do, ill sell you mine if you still want it. if i was you though id go with the stock tII lip as finishline said, looks better. my lip is just more functional if your scraping your lip all the time.

its kind of a secret i've been trying to hold that i havent really seen much. but if you can get the lip off of a sohc 240sx it fits pretty well.
i dont know if you can tell but there are a couple cracks in it that could have helped it fit so nicely. but i've seen one on another fc and it looked clean there too. i just dont know how it would look on an s5 if thats what you have.
