Well, my mother@%$#ing friend begged me to just let him drive my car just around the parking lot... not going fast or anything although I refused more than 10 times. I finally gave in and it was my mistake. He claimed that he knew how to drive stick, so I wasn't worried too much. Oh God was I wrong. So I got in the passenger seat. He almost stalls it trying to get it going, and then he must have been having his foot down the gas quite a bit because the car launched forward after it almost stalled. ******* drives right into and then on to a curb. I was like, "WTF????" and started bitching at him. We got out, and my ******* front lip is broke in 2 pieces and the top part of the front bumper is pushed in a little bit. No damage other than that, but I was PISSED!! Well, so he is going to pay me $400 even though I told him that I don't need that much.



Cliff notes: Let my friend drive my car, he drove it into a curb, broke the stock front lip, and is paying me $400.




So.... moving on to the main question...



What front lip or front bumper should I get? I can probably cough out another $200-300. I'm thinking about GP Sports front bumper if it is within my reach...

Also, anyone knows how much it would cost to re-align front bumper? It is not really noticeable but it is bugging the hell out of me.


Thanks in advance.

do a search for the GP sports kit on here, you'll find a link to their site....i think its about $500-600 for that bumper

No, it looks better stock than anything aftermarket! I love the S5 TII front end.

Damn...that's an *** whipping waiting to happen. But anyway that's a good excuse to get either another stock lip or a MazdaSpeed one . I like the GP Sports front also, but w/o everything else wouldn't it look a bit weird? I'd like to see some pics or photochops w/o the rest of the kit.

I like the CS TypeII

OverDriven

Agreed...get the Corksport Type II. If you can afford it, get the genuine border front.

Looks like you have the UC paint. Sorry, cause Santiagoand I just bought the last two of those in the country

However, they still have other colors available. They are 287 bucks from mazdaformance.com. About 30 for shipping and they are located in Houston.

Great looking TII man. And nothing looks better than stock. The FEED lip looks great from up front. But when you see the profile of the car it hangs lower than the stock body trims. Blah.

At least you have a standup friend willing to pay for his mistake!

I don't really like the looks of CS Type II... so that's out.

Wankel7, what is UC paint? And what is $287 from Mazdaformance??? I'm kinda lost here... lol. Care to explain more?

Wankel7

I just realized how very vauge that was!

I was talking about the factory stock S5 lips. By UC I was talking about the paint code for Cyrstal White.

And santiago and I got the last to S5 stock lips in the UC paint code. However, they do have other colors. The cost was around 270 for the lip and about 30 for shipping.

i see Well, I didn't know stock lips were that expensive... damn!! I guess I'll get a replica FEED lip from Wormiez or something... Or I can get a MS lip for good price from Ebay...

Which one should I go for, people?

RarestRX

Yo,

Damn dude, that's weaksauce.

I've got the Mazda lip and I have to say I haven't seen any that look better.

The MS one is pretty agressive but I don't like the little "winglets" on the sides. Maybe if you did a custom one where you chop 'em off. *grin*

I would get the FEED lip, myself.
And ouch, sorry about the little wreck.. this is the reason no one but me and my girlfriend drive my car.

Rookie84

Kevin, I'll kick him in the *** once for you


Anyone knows how much it would be to re-align the front bumper a bit??

Rookie u like the feed lip? It looks really good on s5's.

Rookie84

Yeah. FEED is my favorite but man... Wormiez stopped making FEED lips long ago... said mold was damaged. So that was out. I was outbid on the MazdaSpeed lip on Ebay, so that was out as well. So I just went with Mazsport lip. Hopefully it'll look good. If not, I guess I'll just sell it and get a different lip or something. Anyone got good pics of Mazsport lip? I'm wondering what it looks like... never saw good pics of it.

Rookie84

Boom Plus Toys don't make FEED lips anymore. I called and checked. Go to www.stolemyinter.net and you can host pics there. I'm still curious what Mazsport lip looks like. I bought it but didn't put it on my car yet. Gotta get it painted first. It was about $190 shipped.

Yohan,

How do you like the lip? Once painted, please post pictures. I do not get to see many of the lips i ship out. I ship them and never hear from the customer, i guess no news is good news? Anyways, i'll be looking forward to pics once the unit is painted.

-Markus

Rookie84

Markus, I'll definately post some pics once it's painted. The lip looks good but it will have to be on the car for the final judgement

BTW, thank you guys for the fast shipping. Paid on Thursday morning, received it on Tuesday. I was also given a phone call with tracking #. That's an excellent customer service.

fc3seeker

Wow someone that isn't familiar with driving a manual and he thinks he can handle a near 300rwhp FC. Bad news written all over.

Glad only the lip was damaged.

stock baby.

Rookie84

I wouldn't have let him get on it... he just wanted to drive around the parking lot slowly yet he still screwed that up. Oh well. I got my new lip and there is enough left from $400 to pay for paint + maybe realign front bumper so it's all good

I think I'm gonna put it on first to see if I like it before painting it though :p If I don't like it, stock lip, here I come
