CJCameron Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Hanger, How do you like your STi Lip? I just ordered the Bayson R for my 10' may get the Bayson R for the wife's 13' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linksusmaximus Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Think it came out nice.. agreed - it was a pain in the ass installing, and i could not get all contours flush. 2 of the cheap push pins that came with the lip broke the first time i tried to take them out, luckily they gave 4 and i already had 2 originals in that area. Thinking about injecting a bead of clear silicone between the bumper and the lip to prevent every loose piece of earth from finding a new home. I dip'd it matte black too.

I did the silicone and it holds excellent, but I had to try a few kinds of spray paints until one sort of holds. You can't paint silicone...unfortunately. I used trim and bumper spray and it works okay. If I were to do it again, I'd use paintable exterior caulking.

I went with black silicone, and it seemed to look ok after i removed the tape from my bumper. But then i went to remove the tape from the lip and about half way through, the plastidip decided it would rather stick to the tape than the lip. Sooo, i ended up taking everything off, cleaning the silicone off the bumper, and i'm going to re-dip, re-install, and maybe think twice about the silicone.. i dont know yet.

encore75 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Regarding the suggestion to use pop-its to supplement the existing screws, what's the benefit of doing that over just using more screws in between the original screw locations? Also, did anyone pre-drill pilot holes for the stock screws, or just go at it with the self-tapping of the screws? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, did anyone pre-drill pilot holes for the stock screws, or just go at it with the self-tapping of the screws? Screws may loosen. Pop-its may get loose but won't fall out. Either way, the silicon will hold it pretty good.

RailKill Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Has anyone seen this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/221625334050 It says they've only sold two so I'm a little apprehensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clean13 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Weird. It says US spec, but all the pictures are on JDM cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailKill Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 The pics of it installed on the cars are actually the real STI lip. You can see the emblem in the center of the lip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailKill Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Oh yeah, while searching for lips, I stumbled upon some sites/eBay sellers that had pics of my old '11, Clean13, fredrik and GTeaser's cars with lips installed. I'm sure that none of us gave permission, but I don't think we really had to. I know Joe did a test fitment for BaysonR but the pic of his car is on someone else's site http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/30/9933b44d5e7e7fdac854e516189c11a7.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/30/11a6af358b7d509a44da4e039fa914ff.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/30/0cf074a0ba886c0fb5dc7f817903c8c3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTEASER Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Yeah, they stole my pics off of this site when I posted the installed lip. Pics that were taken in front of my house. I was asking the EBay sellers to take them down because I did not give them permission to use my personal pics in front of my home. I did give BaysonR permission to use only the pics they took at their facility, but the EBay listings have seemed to multiply like rabbits and I can't keep up, so fockit.

MRLancaster Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Looks close to the STi catalog one, except it sticks out slightly further in the front. A lot better looking than the Bayson R one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailKill Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I had the seller verify twice that it will fit USDM Legacy's, just to cover my ass with eBay in case it doesn't fit. I like it way better than the BaysonR one so I figured I'd take a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I could've gone and test fitted those lips. Seller location is right next to my work. I would've gotten one for myself if I'm not getting the JDM front end already ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRLancaster Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 As for the Bayson R, I've never really cared for it. It doesn't fit the car at all. I'm glad you posted this one. Maybe it's the lack of the side pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredrik94087 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 It fits solid with silicone and additional pop-its. The bumper and lip are literally glued together.
