FEED lip or Turbo II lip??

im still debating with myself which kind of lip i should get. the FEED lip is pretty nice but a bit lower than the car's body, while the turbo II lip has the stock look, just enough to look nice. and that's where your guy's opinions will help me decide which one to get. don't worry, im planning to get a pair of turbo II sideskirts to go with it. i don't plan on getting the odula lip cuz i dont wanna cut the grill.

here's a pic of my car to help you decide.

Turbo II Aero lip. Although I like the FEED lip I think the aero lip looks better, it's not as big. They are pretty hard to find though.

The FEED lip looks better when you see it head on. But the look falls apart when you see the profile. Like you said it hangs below the side sills and looks really bad.

Where the stock lip just looks great all around. And you can fetch them for 300 new and painted from the dealer. FTW

when you mean by "stock lip," you're talkin about the turbo II stock lip, right?

Yeah the TII aero lip just looks soooo much more cleaner than the FEED lip. The FEED lip is just too big for my taste. I liked every car with the aero lip except that red one. Pic 1,2, and 4 were the best.

sgt. pepper, we think alike. lol
either that, or it must be because we both have white FCs. xP
yea, my dad also agrees that the turbo II aero lip is better.
guess that's enough to persuade me.
now, just gotta keep searchin for people who's selling the turbo II lip.

It's a coin toss for me, either one is actually pretty slick. I'd go with the factory TII lip if you drive in rough areas, encounter parking blocks alot and tend to put your nose over them . . .

I dunno... I tend to watch out for rough areas, parking blocks, steep driveways, speed bumps, etc...

Speed machine has/had two versions of it. I prefer a "stockish" look overall. I just can't imagine a T2 without one, looks strange to me. Epecially it you have the sideskirts still, but seeing how easy it is to hit **** with it I can see why so many people don't have the stock one anymore!

My '87 TII doesn't have anything on it, no lip, no side skirts, no spoiler nothing. I want to add this stuff 'cause it does look weird w/o it. I looked at the Odula lip, I like it too, looks good even if you don't cut out the bumper.
