If you're talking about the stock s5 TII lip, it is no longer made by mazda, but Speed Machine Performance makes a replica in either CF or fiberglass.

CF http://speedmachineperformance.com/i...l?v=1&pid=5122

Fiberglass http://speedmachineperformance.com/i...l?v=1&pid=5123

also you can get aftermarket lips (ooooh, aaaaaaah)

I heard that RotaryExtreme.com makes a affordable urethane feed lip replica but I have never seen it, only heard of

also corksport.com has a mazdaspeed lip replica

About $200 no matter how you go


demonspeed.com has a lip also but you only use COD ever with them.


btw, for anyone looking at this thread all of these lips are for s5 (89-91) bumper although demonspeed does have an s4 (86-88) lip spoiler

EDIT: Without the horrid shipping problems from what i've heard.

i think mike l stopped selling them a couple years ago
and i was told it was the other way around, mikel spoilers were demonspeed copies. i always figured demonspeed was the knockoffs. dunno for sure


shipping problems? no, you just dont send demonspeed money, you order by COD and all is solved.

I'm not sure either, but with their reputation it's highly likely

I was asking because they apparently are accepting paypal now, and even though it provides more security than letting them charge your CC, I would still feel funny about handing any money over to them right away. Just wondering anyone has noticed things improving over there.

no no no
the MikeL was a copy of demonspeeds.

or so ive been told, do not know and wouldnt be suprised either way.




well there was a huge story, and i actually talked to the owner of demonspeed on aim, think his name was chuck or something like that. and this all went down while i was talking to him over the period of a few months,. he seemed like a real nice guy, but you never know on the internet
said probs w/ his kid going to hospital and a lot of ****

some people eventually got there stuff and i think he tried to fix some of the **** screwed up but i think that there are still some people who still got screwed

i would only do COD, people have done it and gotten their spoilers like that. End of story, it's safe. If he sends, you get spoiler. If he doesn't you keep money.

I believe I bought one of the last few from Mazdaformance (props to Santiago for the heads up). Anyway, loved it until that first parking curb I forgot about - then - repaint. What a PITA. Wish i never spent the money the first time as I love the look but hate the crunch...

Oh you guys are talking about that black plastic trim on the bumper that's scraped all the time. I wouldnt really consider that a lip.

It's a lip. It detaches in the same manner as the stock TII one so why wouldn't you consider it a lip? It also looks a lot better with it than without, which is why I recently added it to my bumper.

dude, lip you posted on that white t2 is a STOCK T2 LIP

It came on EVERY s5 t2 made, just they are all broke by now are you will be hard pressed to find an original one that hasnt been cubrchecked to powder already.

And I'm not sure how a s5 lip would look on s4, you could always get a s5 bumper and paint the rubstrips flat black. The rubstrip will be a diff one but the paint and stuff will match.

Or just get all s5 rubstrips and bumpers. You'd have to do the rear bumper too to have them all match.

Up to you jungus

i know GTUs had the t2 lip, don't know of any other s5s other than t2 but i could be mistaken



targa: demonspeed.com and check it out for yourself


Personally I think the s5 look is a lot cleaner, but this is your decision. Also s5 involves more than just a lip, thats just the last part lol

I think your car would look nice w/ S5 bumpers, sideskirts and a nice lip
