FEED Front Lip?

I have this bad boy coming in from japan in about two to three weeks. Been through 1000s of pictures looking to find an example of it installed, but came up empty handed. Extremely extremely rare piece, can't be more than a handful in the country, if any especially since they were $1200+ new. Anyways, any one have any pictures of it installed as I would like to add an installed picture when I post the for-sale thread? Thank you in advance!

Looks very similar to the old Racng beat front lip in the way it wraps up and around into the front opeings in the stock bumper.
FWIW,
crispy

Not quite, perhaps the around part on the side of the lip but the bottom part across the front looks completely different.

the lip in the pic is racing beats lip they offered. the racing beat spoiler and front lip that they produced are hard to find and are almost identical to the feed products. The real feed spoiler and lip would be nice if i could afford it lol. how much for the spoiler pure?

Correct me if I am wrong but I believe Greddy used to make a lip very similar or identical to that one. I saw one on ebay a few month back mounted on a car and it looked pretty good. I have been looking for images of this lip since I saw your f/s post but no luck.

hey guys i received the lip today and need some suggestions, i currently have the greddy fmic on my car and have to trim my bumper a bit to get it to fit which also means that i will have to trim the feed lip, but i'm not very fond of doing that on such a rare piece! should i ditch the fmic or trim the lip a little bit???

Get rid of that piece of junk Greddy FMIC and go with an Apex'i or a Blitz. It's not even a decision in my book

Search, this has been covered 75 million times.

Greddy= too far forward, requires cutting of bumper and allows zero air past it into the engine bay.
Apex/Blitz= sit further back, easy install, no cutting, lets air in.

In general I really like Greddy products, just not their FMICs. Buying from Allrotor is a great experience btw, he usually includes pics of him on the beach in his Borat Hoagie Hugger

Glad the lip made it in, that thing was a major pain to box and wrap, definitely not fun to walk 3 avenues with that box.

I am going to have to agree with Rich on this one, Blitz would be the most ideal option. Apexi & HKS fit pretty well too, but with the Blitz you can keep the battery in the stock location, it is too bad they discontinued them in the US.

Can also vouch for allrotor, good guy.

Have to agree with you at least once a year, right?

Is that made out of fiberglass? Is it flexible at all? The reason I ask is because I recently destroyed mine thanks to the perpetual construction on I-81 on my way back from KDR.

I had the Seibon carbon fiber front lip, which needless to say had very little give to it. There was a point where 1 lane was completely torn up and the next was paved, with a HUGE elevation change. As soon as I switched lanes I heard *crunch*, and it was all over. Just food for thought, since I'd hate to see such a nice lip get ruined...

That thing looks great though.

I'm really confused at who the actual owner is now. Two different people with pics of the same car, and OP is just an importer? Whatever it looks beautiful. The car is really getting there.
