When I 1st got my S4 Sev it had a finish line front a rear buuuut.....one of the previous owners saw fit to take to it with a air-hacksaw in aid of creating a large eye sore hole for his intercooler. So I decided i would take my 2cm original lower lip and use that as the template for a lower lip and cut up my finishline lower half.

I cable tied the crap out of it to get it the right shape and the next step is to send it to a company called "bumper replacements" and get them to join it all nicely (normally I would plastic weld my own stuff but it's made of some weird plastic like the factory front bumper is) I will post more pics when it comes back and then when it's all painted and dummy fitted again. Lemme know what you think

there are already alot of options out there rather then spending the time and money to have someone customize a diy job.

Not in nz. Unless I want to pay 400 plus bucks to get one sent from Oz. Or buy a body kit. (Not my thing) which all we can get is drift style. and im not keen on fibre glass getting smashed into a thousand peices.Fc sevens are like the forgotten child here

Actually, the 626 lip resembles the S4 Sport lip in a way

Gota give ya some props anything custom made wins in my book can't wait to see it finished

ben.farnath

it was a test fit of it to make sure it was long enough and fit well enough before i sent it to be welded together. its made of seven separate peices btw.

Cheers and will post up as soon as i get it back and then when its painted and on. Just didnt want to be another S4 Sev owner with a 626 lip(though they look good i wanted something with a little more rounded shape to it)

I've got a S13 pre-facelift front lip coming, here is a pic of a mates FC with the S13 lip...





Looks good and i don't know about the US, but you can pick a S13 front lip over in the UK for like £30!

ben.farnath

Here in New Zealand they are drug money if you find one. pignose 180sx are pretty sort after.

jerd_hambone

Before drifting took over the US, pig nose 240's could be had for $200-300. Now you shell huge money for them.

ben.farnath

they only just started comin down in price. they stayed up in the 9kor much more mark for the last 10 years, now you can pick up CA18DET powered ones for 6ish but SR20s are still way up there. and the mo' mods the mo' money mo' money

BenRX

Can pick them up in the UK for less than £1000 in some cases !!
