which to me says that 4" is overkill... seeing as how there are high 9/low 10-second FD's with 90mm mufflers
(4"+ intecooler piping is another matter...)
Also, just out of curiosity, would it be feasible that an S4 version of the lip could be moulded as to make it look like it's an S5 bumper? Seems like a good idea for people who want the S5 look without spending the time and money getting and painting a new front bumper... if a full bumper/lip combo is unfeasible.

None of them come painted.
They all come gel-coated white.

What's up with all the corksport teasing going on lately? 'Oh we're working on bigger front brakes to go with the big rears' 'oh we're working on a dual exhaust' 'oh we're working on feed lips' You bastards are going to make me go broke saving up!

Where can you pick up the black splitter looking things coming off of the S5 bumper
This picture from odula's site makes it look like some sort of a wing (for a lack of words). The picture on page one of the thread makes it look like an air duct.
I think cutting out the S5 bumper is a must for this to look right, but I also think these wings/splitters/what ever you want to call them things are a must as well to complete the look.
By the way, I would be in on the purchase as long as we get a good deal on the item or the shipping via a group buy of coarse

Any idea where to buy such a thing and/or how hard it is to install them? I like how it breaks up the lines and gives it an aggressive look (with the lip of coarse).

There's one company in the US that makes them, for certain cars and in universal applications:

Odula themselves sell canard kits for the FC, on their website:
http://www.odula.com/page/main_fc3s.htm (reading japanese helps of course)
Ironically, if Corksport sells the FRP lip for $200, it'll cost a bit more than a real Odula lip

Well, I'm an FC guy at heart and I finally started making enough noise to convince the bosses that the market was worth it.
I know what you mean about being broke. Working at CS definitely doesn't make me any money
They might as well just pay me in parts, they just immediately get all the money back anyway.

Supra guys are running 4.5 to 6 inch exhausts with these new turbos that are on the market now. Less restriction = fast spool time = more usable power before you redline
Hmm I've had a feed replica lip that the guy gave me when I bought the car from him. It doesn't look that bad on my S4 front bumper I'll post some pics when I get around to putting it on again..
