Driver72 Posted September 26, 2004 Share Posted September 26, 2004 Anybody know if there is a place to purchase the little "lip spoiler" for the Legacy GT that they sell in Japan. I don't like the USDM spoiler and ordered my car without it, but I saw a picture somewhere of the lip spoiler on the JDM car and liked that. Any links would be helpful? Anybody know the cost?

Boostjunkie Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Hate to say this but someone needs to find a company that will build a replica of the STi lip spoiler. I love the look of it, but you would have to be certifiable to spend $700 on the genuine article. I can think of one company in Hong Kong that made some parts for the Mazda6 community (grill, eyelids) that fit well and were less than half the price of the originals. Who knows, maybe they'd be interested in parts for the LGT too. I should email them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC GT Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Someone needs to test fit one of those replica M5 lip spoilers they sell on ebay for $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy05GT Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I have the STi front lip and rear trunk lip comming in from Kingofimports. I will post installation procedures and photos.

Cost shipped is $110 USD. They also sell a package of the eyelids and the grill for $160. Really a pretty good deal. Considering that the STi is not exactly a complicated part, I can't see a problem with them duplicating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 Personally, I would rather spend a bit extra and have the real deal than some cheap copy but that is only me. Happy Shopping :D Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostjunkie Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 I've seen the "cheap" copies in person. The fit and finish was excellent. I certainly don't disparage those that chose to spend double or more for the original product, but if the copy is as good, why would you? I don't want "cheap" quality, but I'll certainly take good quality at a "cheap" price. BTW, I sent an email to silviaparts about making replicas of the Euro Sports Grill and the STi lip spoiler. We'll see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driver72 Posted September 27, 2004 Author Share Posted September 27, 2004 Thanks guys for the replies. Yes, $700 is a bit steep for a piece of painted plastic and metal. I'd consider it, but would like to see what those of you investigating the "knock off's" find out and how nice they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Bradtmueller Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I think I would rather have the real deal than having some knock off brand. It usually seems that the knock off brands don't fit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostjunkie Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 I'm bumping this one back up, because the company I emailed about making a clone of the lip spoilers actually emailed me back today... better late than never I guess. Here's what they had to say: Thank you for your email. I am currently looking at producing parts for the Legacy and remember that you emailed me several months ago about it. We are currently looking to produce the Ings+1 eyelids and the STi. I have already found a source for the eyelids, but have not been able to source a grill yet. Please le me know if you can help. Thank you. Francisco [url]www.silviaparts.com[/url] No mention of the lip spoilers, but a grill would be cool as well as the eyelids. I'll email them again about the lfront and rear lip spoilers, and if anyone has either one and/or a grill that you would like to see duplicated let me know, or email Silviaparts directly.

SFGR415 Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I like the STI spoiler but dislike the brake light section...I have seen another spoiler just like it without the brake light but forget who made it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
