Ok I'm looking at the corksport Odura front lip or the corksport MS front lip. What do you guys think? I've been into go so much that I forgot how show looks on this car.

I like both the MS and Odula lips, I'm leaning more towards the MS lip though.

OdooooLa - I have one - hellp me drifto better

Really though, I think it's the best looking lip unless you want to pay for the feed lip - keep i mind though, it eats up alot more ground clearance than the ms front lip - ask me how i found out ;P

damn everyone into the odula huh? it is a nice piece, I'll probably go with that one. The MS is nice and some cars do it justice but I don't think mine would.

The corksport lip isn't a bad lip at all.. but the fitting could be a little better. I'm not saying it's outrageously horrible, but some of the holes don't line up as well as it could, especially where there are holes in the lip that were put there to make clearance for other bolts... kind of hard to explain but I'm more than willing to take photos of it if you like. From the outside, the fitting is very tight, so it might not even be a big problem at all. I've noticed that when I brake regularly, my lip will scrape, but it's something i can live with because the lip is so damn sexy

Look at this thread:

https://www.rx7club.com/2nd-generation-specific-1986-1992-17/s5-jspec-front-bumper-lighting-s4-614586/

It has just about every lip for the FC.

I have the Odula and love it, it is super low so I am afraid to slame my car like it used to be. With now lip and sideskirts I was tucking tire on my 16's with a 45 series sidewall.

You have to cut out the lower bumper bar to make the odula lip complete but it totally changes the front look of the REX

Here's a shot of what I was talking about.. the bolts not lining up with the holes for space:


..but besides that, visually from the outside, gaps are barely noticable, especially on a black car:



Excuse my dirty car, spring time hit us hard so the streets are filled with water from the melted snow

From Corksport, it's not a bad lip. My experience with them has been very good also.

I Love the MS front lip, My friend has hid red S5 with a sort of flat black one and it is sexy.

my corsport lines up perfectly...was your car ever in an accident?? Also I would just cut the part that doesnt line up off. And I wish it was made of thicker fiberglass, but I am going to reinforce it in a few places but my car is gonna be much lower than that white one^^
