i now have the first modified front lips with an extended lower lip… they are a black coated glass and are WAY more flexible and durable than the previous version.
the stuff really is nearing urethane.
the first carbon fibre lip comes tomorrow and i plan to have a full image comparison this weekend.
the terms of the offer in this thread are likely to change because of the new products.
You can see the top lip is the old version, this one came off Jesse’s car. The new lip has the lower under-side lip extended to just over 3" and it extends this far all the way around.
adds a great deal of rigidity to the lip and also makes it more aerodynamic, though only slightly.
The primary reason for this, in addition to the above reasons, is to accomodate a special splitter that we should have after the summer this year.
We might not need lower cooling panels, the splitter i am working on should take care of the air-flow underneath the front of the car. There was no way to support the front of the a splitter on this lip the way it was before, thus the changes.
This lip was not a direct copy before. we excluded certain features of the original and added others… It really is 100% unique, just based off a japanese designed part.
The black lip you see if the newest version, it is a more flexible product with a better finish and an overall better build quality. There is no longer a flange line at the back corners
There will not be anymore of the old version of the lip produced and the costs are different on the new one… i might be able to offer a similar deal on it for the meet, but since no one has taken me up on the offer i may scrap the idea entirely.
if you bolt it in on the sides of the mouth you should be fine…
most people have to trim the centre to clear their IC anyways and at that time there is very little of the lip being supported by the bottom of the mouth of the bumper anyways.
the modifcations to this lip should add even more support… or in other words…all your monies are belong to me
