Washed the FC and took some pics today.

First time I've cleaned it up since I threw the set of wheels on it that I picked up from Franco up in New Jersey. Nothing special, just a basically stock 91 NA car, but it's black, the windows are tinted, and it looks pretty decent. I'll see how many pics I can get posted before the board tells me I hit the maximum!

EDIT: Wow, it let me upload a lot of pics. hope it's not too many and people don't get annoyed

If anyone has suggestions on a good front lip, I'm looking. The stock front end needs something, I just can't decide what. Thanks!

Looks good, Joey! Now she needs some springs to close that gap! Shine Auto front lip looks good on black cars IMO.

I have another suspension for it in the garage, but I'm not sure when I'm going to get around to installing it. Nothing fancy but it should drop a bit. I also want a new set of wheels and tires, but I'm not sure when I'll get around to that either

Looking good.

Corksport makes nice lips as well, I have one of thiers and could not be happier with it or the service they always provided me.

Which one do you have? Looks like they have two S5 front lips. They're both the same price, but I think I'm partial to the first one, as I don't plan to run any side skirts or rear diffusers; the second one seems like it needs a whole body kit to make it look like it's supposed to be there. Just my opinion...

I have the Odula/Odura lipe.

I practically folded this thing in half, im surprised it did not shatter, its real flexible.
Corksport is a awesome company to deal with, maybe I caught shine at the wrong moment but I found communication with them was terrible.




fitting it on my new bumper

I haven't heard back from Shine after my request for info about a week ago, so it may not have been your timing. You have the lip I prefer between the two that Corksport offers for S5's, so your pic is perfect since our cars are basically twins except for your bumper being slotted. But it helps to know what it will look like on my car from it, thanks. I most likely will go with that one, unless a great deal on a used one comes up - the price is damn good on this one new. Great choice

Agreed. I hate it when I want to buy something and I can't have it right away. I have spent way too much in local speed shops because I have an instant gratification complex and hate waiting for mail order stuff

Your car looks good, dude. I'm not a big fan of white cars, but the 10th AE cars look real nice.
