It's a two piece, so I bolted the outside corners first met in the center trim to fit a little bit to fit and boom, it a decent lip Iv used Jetta lips on a lot of cars iv owned, a bagged merc grand marquise, turbo crx, couple rx7's. Cant beat them for 10 bucks a pop.

They're all stock bumpers with front lips, most pictures state the name of the lip underneath :icon_tup:

I actually painted the grill and part of the bumper. Here's another pic.

+1 on the blacked out grill. It does really look good.

jerd_hambone 03-07-12 12:14 PM

It actually sort of looks like an aftermarket bumper. Match it with some nice subtle skirts and rear. Look pretty good.

Not sure. I have the shineauto lip on my car. Wondered if this would fit as an underpan lip for my track car.

Looks really good with the lip painted body color, I just had mine painted black. Reminds me of the old ISMA FC's from the 80's. A bigger wangan spoiler would set that look off if thats what your going for. :icon_tup:

Thanks guys, I still have plans for the future. Some sideskirts and a rear difuser.

im in love with the look of your FC!!! i've been looking for a pignose lip for a while now, i think im going to give my jetta lip another try for now. im planning to paint my s4 solid white and cut the grill out of mine some time ago.

can i ask, what rims are these and how much do they weigh?

also any opinions on what skirts someone would match to a lip like this? i don't think the stock turbo skirts would sit as low as the lip

Needs S5 specific lip. Odula or TII.

and so on! We did the CS Odula lip (though other's pictures show it off better) and like UncleDavid said added the Tii skirts to "complete the look". But then it made the rear bumper look incomplete so we added the CS bumper caps during spring break...

In case anyone asks, the wing is from a 90's Mitsu 3000GT. It just needed a little epoxy putty to match the bottom of the posts to match the curve of the trunk lid.

brian_skotch 03-29-12 02:57 PM

cool wing! Did you wire up that 3rd brake light to work?

vrracing 03-29-12 07:47 PM

Yes we did. That was easy. Of course, extending on UncleDavid's theme now we have to shave the OEM brake light. And the OEM antenna hole in the left rear corner panel, and the mounting holes for the logos... :blush:

Can anyone give me pointers or a general overview/ review of fitting a pignose ( 240SX ) lip on a S4 ?

rx7freak13v 09-16-12 01:42 PM

hhxobey, basically unbolt the factory lip off the s4. wrap the pignose lip around the bumper and stretch it to the corners (requires 2 people). while your buddy is holding the lip up on the fender, grab the drill and some self tapping screws and put 2 of them in the fender. move to the other side and re stretch the lip back around the fender (it probably fell) and then more screws and then just work your way around the front of the bumper adding screws to hold it on. thats how me and my buddy did it on his s4. looks amazing. its an easy job. it took us about 20 minutes taking our time lol. good luck. hope it was a good enough explaination.

I have the cs "odula" lip, then ive used the 626 lip on the s4s

then there was this lip I found on the side of the freeway, it is the top part of a ford truck bumper actually 2000 yr or so, had to cut a bit out of the center section, probably coulda looked better with more time and effort but ohh well.
