I like that front bumper actually much more than the OEM bumper with a lip. Would that work with the OEM front fenders? Which one is it?
A Hydraulic system is messy if you ever spring a leak. If you live in colder climates you may have issues with the cold as well. Just a thought.
I'm surprised by the number of "no" votes on this lip. I always thought this was a classy, non-rice lip. I actually like this lip better than my wings west lip.
Its the vents that through it off, I cant see where they are supposed to flow with the rest of the car. They just look out of place in comparison with the bumper air dam.
Are you suggesting a lip, with non-functional "vents" is non-ricey???:biggrin:
I don't get your logic. Are your Takata harnesses "functional"? How about that drifting steering wheel? Do you drift? That rear diffusor you have... its "function" is to basically make the car 13 pounds heavier in the tail. Your passenger side air scoop... its non-functional too. Are your orange painted calipers functional? If they were tracked once that paint would turn into burnt goo. You have many parts on your own car which LOOK the part, but aren't really used in racing or tracking. By your definition, all of that could easily qualify as "ricey". I'm just saying it is all a matter of perspective.
The Cantrell vents are in a great location to be plummed into a hose and vented onto the brakes. I was going to do this at some point and feed cold air onto the rotors.

IF that was the design purpose then by all means keep it, function over form any day. Yeah they look a little off to me but they serve a purpose in that case. Should definitely get those ducts made then :smile:
Yes, but if you saw that thing up close there is no way you'd want it.
Never liked that lip on your car or any other car for that matter. Get the JP Aero, Dave. It seems like a cheap alternative to alter the look of your car, and you can just scrape it instead of spending money on the lift kit.
I love that lip i would like to have one...........Bill

Thanks for the warning..
However, makes me wonder.. are there any close-photos of it? Who makes it? What's the issue with it?
lol. relax, it was a joke hence the smiley. Btw, I dont have takata harness.' As far as your other rhetorical questions, never asked what ppl thought, as opposed to this thread.

I'm not upset at all Synth, so I don't know why you are saying relax. We are just talking.
I'm just pointing out that you of all people are the king of "non-function"... lol... nothing wrong with that, I mean the car looks good... but you pick one part and call it "ricey", when by your own definition, half your car would be considered ricey. Right? What seperates a set of harness belts that are not even attached properly on a car that never sees a track from a lip that has vents? What seperates your rear diffusor that is non-functional and in fact HEAVY, from a lip that is "non-functional"? Do you see my point? It's all the same if you ask me.

Whats up dude... man I tell you to stay in touch, you dissapear, I am glad a prime thread brings you back. So you can tell Hijacker yourself what that front bumper is and how the fit is. I don't remember your being thrilled with it.
Sorry but I like the stock lip much better. The new one does not flow well with the car in my view. The color should be black and the lines straight - no dips or curves.
LOL! I was making a joke @ PhiAlpha44's comment. Instead, I will recant that comment and simply say this lip in question is ugly, does not flow with the lines of the car, and should be burned.
Btw, Harness belts which are not properly attached seems silly and dangerous. I agree.
I dislike the lip. For some reason I've never liked front lips with holes in them. For my conversion I've got an oem so I can scrape and not care. If that wasn't an issue I'd have the DF lip.

Haha yeah. Guess I learned the new thing for the day. In my defense those holes are much smaller!
Did ya decide which lip yet though? If you do go oem I'm sure you could sell the current one pretty easy and take the extra cash for an extra track day!

Current one is no longer made so I really want to save it. I think Scorp said he found a similar style of of Japan with better quality but looking at closeups of his pics it looked the same to me.
Still not sure what to do. Might get the JP aero and leave it black. I can also shoot it silver and add a ton of "flex" into the paint and see how it holds up. I can't believe how closely split the vote has been on this. I still like it a lot.
