New Carbon Fiber Front Lip...
We should have our new S5 turbo CF and FG lips available sometime right before SevenStock. They are direct replicas of the stock 89-91 turbo factory front lip. As most of you know, they are almost impossible to get from the dealer, and 99% of people have had theirs fall off, or never had them when they bought the car. These will be for the 89-91 N/A and Turbo front bumper skin.
Price on them will be $299 in Carbon Fiber and $199 in Fiberglass. As always, I'll post pics as soon as we have the first 2, which are scheduled to be here next week.
We are also going to offer a replica RE style wing in 100% Carbon Fiber within a month or so.

The wing will have the hole. 
Sorry on the S4, but I don't have a lip to copy to make it in CF! Barney will have to get an S5 bumper
Your radiator is in from Ron Davis, and will ship Monday! I'll send tracking info when I print the lable Monday amigo. The lip and wing will be ready to be painted.

You rock Dave 
The only problem I could see is how impact resistant is C/F & Fiberglass, because it's REAL easy to bump the lip on a curb or speedbump.
Also how thick will the fiberglass ones be. As you know, lots of mixed opinions on fiberglass nose.

Cf would be great.. i bet you could smask that really good on the curb or speed bump and im sure it will be fine.. but FG on the other hand depends on how thick it is

The lip will be quite thick. Unfortunately it is like any other fiberglass part on a car. If you hit something, like a curb, then odds are it will crack. But if it's fg, then it can be repaired. If it's CF, then you can repair it the same, but would probably have to have it painted then if it wasn't already.
We will be introducing them at SevenStock

I'm going to get some structural foam or a big hunk of balsa, make a lip and cover it in glass to create a plug for molding a front lip for an S4... after i get it done, i'll offer it to any fiberglass shop that wants it to make a production mold from it (as long as i get the first one produced FOC!!!)
