Shello007 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 sorry my friend, this is not even CLOSE to what our lip look like when installed on the LGT. Our lips has no gaps what so ever, the width is perfect as well. No modification to the plastic at all. Just drilling into the bumper needed. With an extra hand you can have this done within an hour. Yes our lips are ~$200, but I think that's worth the time that you will spend trying to make it fit and still have the big gaps. Unless your time is not worth the extra $130 then I got nothing to say. Do you still have them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp583 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I still haven't installed my ebay lip on my LGT08 mostly because when i did a loose fit it didn't fit at all. Did you have to heat, mold, shape, whatever - the lip to get it on? I'm wondering if my lip was something completely wrong for my 08. just giving back to this thread here's a few more pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 just bolt it on and it will look fine, the more screws you use the better it looks. it will flex into acceptable position as long your lip is an 06-07 wrx lip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated Too laff79 Posted May 25, 2012 I Donated Too Share Posted May 25, 2012 just bolt it on and it will look fine, the more screws you use the better it looks. it will flex into acceptable position as long your lip is an 06-07 wrx lip ^ this. It took about 10 extra screws to get it to look right. Plasti-dip it afterwards otherwise it fades nastily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumblinaviator Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 ^ this. It took about 10 extra screws to get it to look right. Plasti-dip it afterwards otherwise it fades nastily. That's a good tip... I was gonna skip the plasti-dipping but I never considered the plastic fading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKeNeD Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 When I get mine, I think I will b using Krylon Spray Bedliner. I used it on my RavSpec Grill and Wing, and am happy with the way it came out. It doesn't peel off like plasti dip, BUT, it is pretty forgiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorman629 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I did the 06-07 WRX lip, and I didn't plastidip the lip. Big mistake on my part, as soon as I get time and it's not raining, I'm gunna pull the bumper and plastidip it. It's only been on for maybe 3 months and is faded and has lots of bug splatters all over it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLACKeNeD Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Chargespeed lip is in. Question for you guys who put this on an 06. Did you use the metal tabs that twist out? I know you just drill the holes for our bumper, but I am curious if I should leave the tabs or take them off. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01g_wrx_02 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Seems like there's no more lips for $65 all I see is the chargespeed ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need bb Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I would like to do this, but I am having a hard time finding a lip on eBay. All the links for 2010 no longer work.

Sumbaru Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 This is mine: What do you guys think? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v636/sumbaru/IMG_3809.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v636/sumbaru/IMG_3810.jpg I used 4 heavy duty spring loaded clamps to help me do the install. 2 clamps were on both ends holding the lip flush to ends of bumper and then I centered the lip to the center of the bumper and worked my way back to the edges. I didn't need to cut and it is solid placement. The lip protrudes perfectly as if it was actually designed for full fitment. The center section has a square placement to match up with the bumper curve and the leading curve to the ends of the bumper were placed in the sun until the polyurethane material became really hot and totally flexible. I used about 15 screws to hold it all in place. Bumper was taken off of car and put on a paint stand to work on. Yup that's World Rally Blue paint! I ordered the 06-07 WRX front lip BTW.

Sumbaru Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Ej25_TS - 3 days to assemble it completely. Yup it was taken apart completely. Well worth the effort. Famaya26 - I ordered the 06-07 WRX S204 lip. Just installed it differently. It is summertime so the hot sun helps with the installation process. Laff79 - Thank you for the compliment. Took a lot of effort to make the change. hansvonaxion - Thank you for sourcing the Kouki BP tail lights for me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suds2250 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Got my 06-07 S204 lip put on today, pretty happy overall. I wanted the Ravspec, but was tired of waiting. Glad I got this one instead. I used to have an RBS, but those were fiberglass, and after 4 years and a few repairs, it had to go. 335HP/360Tq VF-22/1820 clone with Meth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
