$650 for a lip? That's steep. You can get a normal one for like $150, and you can have a professional lay carbonfiber for a lil more. That would still be a hell of a lot cheaper then $650.

IMO, on our cars (esp lowered) the lips are pretty much a wear item like tires and brake pads. I would never spend that much on a lip that is going to get trashed, unless it's a show car that you don't drive on the street.

eh, yes and no. They used to go for that much new, but then Ray at Malloy blew them out for like $100 each. Also, the first time that sucker scrapes badly the paint most likely will flake off.

I have the mazdaspeed CF lip. I did pay an insane amount for it... but that's what I get for wanting to show off. I can't remember how much though.

FD Rey hit it right on the spot. Dont spend that much money on a carbon fiber lip. Just buy a regular 99 spec lip and have it wrapped in carbon fiber. It'll look the same and cost a whole lot less. Like Goodfellas said, the lip is prone to getting hit or scraped alot, and after awhile, you'll just have a really expensive piece of carbon fiber that used to look like a lip.

i was just joking about it, just poking some fun at the idea of paying THAT much for a lip anything. I actually did order the lip new from malloy for 100 bucks and ray is an awesome guy. DEF recommend him to anyone lookign for parts

When RE-Amemiya and Mazdaspeed came out they were and still are pretty far up there. CONSIDERING the fact is the stock one is only $165.95 shipped I would say anything around $200 is great if its not just some overlay crap...

I don't know why you would pay that much for a lip, guess I'm in the wrong business. Personally, I don't see what's so great about carbon fiber, IMO I think it's ugly and most of the time it's wrapped around fiberglass so there's no real weight savings.
