Boostin1657615274 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 What material is it made of? If it's flexible (polyurethane), its probably Ravspec. If it is brittle (fiberglass) and painted, its probably RBS. On the search for a new DD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniStiGuy Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 that is not a ravspec lip. The ravspec lip's have an uglier body line to them. That is an RBS lip. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniStiGuy Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 for RBS you can PM Rommel on here as he is the manufacturer of the lips. I'm not sure who sells the Ravspec but if you look in the Vendor Classifieds I'm sure there is a thread for it in there for a group buy or something.

MiniStiGuy Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 haha yeah I used your picture because I couldn't find any of mine to put up and since we are like twins I figured it doesn't matter. OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 looks like RBS lip is shorter than the RavSpec one polyurethane FTW i scrapped mine multiple times already still holds up perfectly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniStiGuy Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I just don't like how the ravspec is like a slope in the front going downward OEM HID's Rx330 Retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 maybe some more screw/zipties will help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.sane Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I think it's like that because of the PU material being loose and bendy. RBS is fiberglass IIRC so it's more "solid" but more prone to cracking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 i ran over a curb stop with my Ravspec PU lip, the lip folded itself under the car then popped back out when i reverse the car. I was WTF LOL no cracks, every bolt and washer still in place, just minor scuffs on the PU surface (because i didn't paint over it) ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt look as "solid" as fiberglass but it's much more durable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSiWRX Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 ^ That's the thing for me, too - here in NE-Ohio, it's either the rubber DIY lip or PU, if longevity is to be measured in anything longer than a few days or weeks. And before anyone flames: remember, I'm an old DSMer...my previous rides were all essentially hovercrafts, so it's not that I don't know how to drive in a lowered car with a ground-hugging front lip - rather, it's just that our roadways here (and even moreso private entryways and driveway aprons) really will do a number. While I also like the aesthetics of the RBS lip better, the PU material of the RavSpec was what won me over in the end, and got me off my rubber DIY lip. It's a concession towards practicality, for a true daily-driven commuter. <-- 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...

CB-M3 Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 I do like the lines of the RBS but I'd prob go with the PU material and body match it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ej25_TS Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I read somewhere that you can modify the 06-07 impreza lip to fit. Anyone have info on it? Tried searching but no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
