Initial D Second Stage FC Front Lip

Does anyone know what lip/bumper is on the FC?

On an afterthought, is that a front mount with a hood scoop in there or is that just that grainy 3D modeling?

In my defense, I searched "second stage front lip" in 2nd Generation Specific, posts option, and nothing came up.

Then what was on first stage?

well people aren't going to refer to a lip by its initial d stage name or w/e. If you would of searched S5 lip or Aftermarket Lip. you would of got a better result

^Shine Auto Project. They have a lot of good aero parts for FC. Their lip is similar to what you're looking at.

Like they said, searching would have pulled this one up several times, you were just too detailed in your search request. Look up "Initial D" and "lip" or "spolier" and you get plenty of useful hits.

To sum it up, there's no real way to decide which lip the car had because it was based off of the manga art, and the art frequently changed. Much of the time in the manga it was the stocker TII lip, throughout much of the First Stage anime it was the Fujita Engineering (FEED) lip, and in Second Stage it was most similar to Corksport's product. The FEED lip is the one referred to in canon tuning pages and generally agreed upon.

Yeah, it's generally thought to be the FEED lip, but that one is definitely really similar to our ODURA lip.

to clarify things, they did not get the rights to use any 'real' parts for the anime, which is why all the stickers on the side of the car spout nonsense (unlike the manga). so technically the lip doesn't exist. you'll have to use whatever looks similar and take a guess at what it was based off of.

Nothing really, though I would think, with their attention to detail, they would at least remove the hood scoop, or use an aftermarket hood with a vent. Plus, there's a license plate blocking the FMIC.
