Ridgeracer Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Yeah....I still have to put on my STI plate on the lip as well. Nice job. "Gimme mines Balboa...Gimme mines".....Clubber Lang - Mr. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjbev21 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Thanks guys. With the hood scoop black it gives it almost a deeper look from 15ft+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vitaliy_08 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 alright instead of filling this thread with useless arguing here is a quick pic of the new front end (including the lip i got mine from d1performance) from my curve 8990 so the quality is blah lol -stock grille painted flat black -front lip with STI badge (separate purchase from lip) -fog surrounds painted flat black -hood scoop painted flat black http://i699.photobucket.com/albums/vv352/tjbev021/IMG00102-20100406-1531-1.jpg Nice Job, the car looks great! I just ordered a lip from D1 also...but i have to wait 1 more month for school to end, then i can DIY my honeycomb grill and this lip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjbev21 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 no its the pic. i spent a long long time measuring and re measuring making sure both sides were "equal" to each other. if i took a pic head on youd see the sides are identical, but since im cocked to the side it appears to be off center. good eye bud lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 ^ Ah, gotcha. That's what I thought, that the optics on your cameraphone must've done something strange, as, so-far, no-one else had said anything about a potential problem of the sort.

rtzcom Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Here's mine: http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs399.snc3/24223_410602553898_659018898_5006096_772592_n.jpg Front center section bulges out a bit, and doesn't lay flat like the sti style lip, but I love how it looks. No heating on my install, just a lot of self tapping screws to hold the angles in place. I'm getting the lip painted to match the body color for a cleaner look.

bnguyenbb6 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 So...all you really have to do is cut the ends which are a little too long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 ^ That's the minimum - but if you wanted it to look better, you'll want to fill the cut ends, to "cap them off," essentially. The non-conforming openings (much more for the '05-'07s than the '08-'09s) won't be a top-priority, unless you plan on showing the car and/or tend to be OCD, yourself, and just can't bear the thought of things not being "just right." <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnguyenbb6 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Sweet, I might just sand down and not cap off the ends. I'm neither OCD or showing the car. How noticable is it without capping the ends off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 ^ I'm not a show-guy, nor [that] OCD either.... But that end-cap is going to be something that you'll notice is there (since you already know that it's there, trust me, your eyeballs won't listen to your "I'm just not gonna look at it" tries ), virtually every time you step out of the car. The good thing? It's in a place that's easy to get to, and I'd be willing to bet that as long as you're careful and good at playing with Bondo, you may even be able to cap it off while it's still resident on the car/bumper. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcTec34 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'm thinking of selling my WRX lip just like all the other ones in this thread, that I fitted to my lgt, and buying this.. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01rs25 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Buying which? Everyone crimpin my style.. This will require a bit more modifications as the finned areas have a slight curve toward the ground. When I chop off the access I also plan to trim the edges so there a bit more straight. Then some FG and some bondo followed by a nice coat of flat black. Should look great once its all done. But the orginal test fit is on and it looks great!! Ohh and I need to clear my headlights too!!!! Slammed more than your girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhook Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b192/00vr6gti/51fd1336.jpg Fit looks good, but the styling looks really out of place IMHO. It looks awkward by itself due to its size, some aftermarket rocker panels or at least spats would go a long way in tying the lip into the car I think. Just my opinion.

01rs25 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Spats are definetly in the future!!! Slammed more than your girlfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs alittle heat but otherwise fit pretty good. I like that I only spend 65 bucks for it tooo!!! How's the fitment underneath? Does it have those two "holes" where the bottom of the bumper-skin takes the upward turn on the '05-'07? I like how that looks, but I'm in agreement with captainhook, something seems out-of-proportion with it...maybe the upturned "winglets" on the ends are too big? Hard to pin down..... Definitely, some more bottom-of-vehicle aero accessories would help bring the look together. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RALLYT-WRX Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Here it is on my 09. It looks awesome in person!! Where the 05 had a little bit of gap in the middle, I had to trim about 2" off of each side so it would tuck up nicely in the center of the bumper. I used a dremmel to smooth it out. I will take better pics tomorrow, cause as you can see it's dark outside. http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m135/legacychick/lip3.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m135/legacychick/lip2.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m135/legacychick/lip1.jpg Did you have to trim off the area in the wheel well? Also which vendor did you get your lip from. I searched for BestRacingMotorsports on Ebay but could not find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
