ClimberDHexMods Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Talked with the owner of Aeon and told him about what we are doing here with WRX spoilers. He told me that he will talk to his supplier and they will look at the number of Leggies sold in the US and decided whether or not it would make sense for them to make a lip for the last gen Leggy. I told him about the prices that the current manufacturers are charging for a Leggy lip and he told me that we are getting raped. He told me that he will do it for at or around one fifty shipped. I told him that I was telling everyone here that we were getting raped as well. I will let you know when he gets back to me. Hopefully your buddy has the cash or credit required to carry what won't sell right away, thereby allowing a big enough production run to keep costs down. It appears that no one else has had the balls or cash or credit to do that. BTW $150 + $30 shipping = $180 = not $150 $180 is not a good deal. Is it possibly $150 shipped or possibly $180 shipped?

SATSFYD Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 ^ I think he typed "at or around one fifty shipped". **There are two types of people in the world, those who build horsepower and those who buy it. Which one are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 At least for me, I would rather live with a slight misfit than pay double the price. If I was more worried about a perfect fit than being cost effective I would have paid the $235 from RavSpec. Also, I don't know how many more people are out there who have an 05-07 that don't have a lip that want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STi Boy Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 theres a bunch of a 06 s204 lips on ebay now think im going to order one tonight. im still not confident in installing it, so any tips from your installation will help..thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshanks07 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Here are some quick cell phone pics. As for the installation, pretty simple: You'll have to drill new holes in the bumper since these holes will not line since it's a wrx/sti lip. Then you'll have to modify the plastic under cover to make room for the new screws you just installed and that's it. Best way to do it is by removing the bumper.

STi Boy Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 what about the extra length on both sides of the lip? i dont have any tools to cut the sides...will a pair of scissors be strong to enough to cut the extra material? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meshanks07 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 Don't know about the extra length b/c this fits perfect with no cutting for '08-'09s. I would imagine though cutting would be easy just need some heavy duty cutters. Scissors may work but not sure. Razor blade might be the way to go if you have a steady hand.

DukeTrout Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I have the Chargespeed-style lip that I'm working on. Definitely need to trim 1.5" from both ends and the holes don't line up with anything. One challenge will be getting the side wings to stay tight to the bumper. I may sand them down a bit and even double-sided tape them to the bumper to keep them flush. Otherwise, it's going to look great. As for the side wings looking too big, I think a lot of that has to do with camera angles. When taking pics of the bumper/lip from a 45 degree angle, the wings are the closest thing and look huge due to forced perspective. In reality, they look just right, IMO. Ich bin echt viel netter, wenn ich nuechtern bin. Echt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjbev21 Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 I don't like how the end of the lip on each side bends down on the sides of the bumper kinda like concaves verses most aftermarket lips for us it is a staright line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
