tangcla Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 I'd love to get a front lip on my Liberty (well, Legacy). Are there cheaper options than getting an STi one? i.e. does anyone make copies of them?
c-lo Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 well, there is one option. it's pretty cheap, and it's a DIY project. search for DIY lip and you'll find a few. I've got one on now, but it's temporary. broke my STI lip and still haven't repaired it. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos
Sponge Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 I just got an RBS one from Rommell he's a vendor I am sure he has a thread going...not sure if he ships international it cost $120 to send to Chicago I'd hate to think what it would cost for Oz My vB Gallery
tangcla Posted February 8, 2008 Author Posted February 8, 2008 Have you got pics of the RBS one fitted Sponge?
Hanger Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 Hi Clarence, Here's some of mine http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62940 but RBS lip is made for USDM fitment, you'd still have to get JDM STi lip for your car... ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○

c-lo Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 or go DIY that's what i did; it looks ok, but it won't stay on forever. 258k miles - Stock engine/minor suspension upgrades/original shocks/rear struts replaced at 222k/4 passenger side wheel bearings/3 clutches/1 radiator/3 turbos
edkwon Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 yeah don't recommend a USDM lip to an australian, they have the JDM front bumpers.
Malingator Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I did the DYI front lip this past summer and it's held up GREAT. Cleaned the underside w/ goof-off before using the 3m heavy duty tape. Has been on the car at 145mph....no problems...and has not had a problem through our New England winter..ice, snow and some REAL cold nights.
homegrwn97 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 hows the fitment of the RBS lip?? do you have to drill any other holes underneath the bumper or anything like that??? Hanger- didnt you say you went thru 3 of them??? =)
tangcla Posted February 16, 2008 Author Posted February 16, 2008 oh well, change of plans - Spec B time

MiniStiGuy Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 RBS lips are the best product for the best price to satisfy your desire for the "Look" of an STI front lip. If you are interested just PM myself or Rommel and either of us can make it happen. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro
MiniStiGuy Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 oh and I almost forgot. The 2008's are currently undergoing prototyping for the JDM style grill, eyelids, and front lip. we will put up a groupbuy and announcement once it is completed and ready for production. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro
tangcla Posted February 18, 2008 Author Posted February 18, 2008 Are the RBS lips available for JDM GT or the Spec B bumpers?
MiniStiGuy Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 not currently. we would be able to possibly entertain that market if enough people were interested. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro
Leonardo Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 I need one for my 2005 as I was having fun in the mud las night and broke the STi one.
MiniStiGuy Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 we can get you one. PM Rommel and he'll get you what you need. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro
WizzD Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 For the money, this seems the best way to go: http://www.fastwrx.com/lechsp.html Only $43.61 to ship via UPS ground. That beats the RBS price by far.
