i gotta be honest with you guys… i like the idea of the lip right now… reasons: it is a rare opportunity, the kouki skirts although difficult to find are more readily available than this lip which i have never seen before in 4 years. it would be easier and faster to reproduce because it is one mold as opposed to four it would likely have a cheaper per unit cost it would for sure be cheaper to pay for the mold * * * i do intend to do the skirts, but i thikn it will take a realtively HUGE investment on my part that i am just not capable of bearing right now. the way i see it, making the 4 molds will ruin the immediate value of the project. ---

I like the lip. Talk to us about costs. (set up … per unit cost of copies …) ---

the lip wont fit your 89 bumper…sorry… but a zenki lip wil, obviously, and many should become available after this one arrives. * * * BY VOTING IT IS ASSUMED YOU ARE WILLING TO MAKE A DEPOSIT ON THE ITEM * * * if you do not intend to do so, please vote for the third option so as not to skew the data. ---

this is kinda OT but if theres any s14 love comin around anytime soon, the greddy lip is a good high demand item to have copied. ---

the greddy lip is only like $150 USd right now… i could make it, but there wouldnt be much of a market for it condsidering that i would only be able to beat the genuine item by say $40 - $50 CAD. as for the quality, i have pics of other items i had copied. ![http://bings.ca/images/DSC00463.JPG](http://bings.ca/images/DSC00463.JPG) ![http://bings.ca/images/DSC00464.JPG](http://bings.ca/images/DSC00464.JPG) also keep in mind that these are unpainted. when the item is prepped and painted it will look much nicer, but these look pretty good anyways. for S14 stuff i am trying to get a 97-98 front lip to copy. ---

I would be in for side skirts with up to a 50$ deposit. and the 200 in 2 months. I have no need for the lip though sorry. ---

Bing, I would definitely say the front lip is a better piece to copy. Like you mentioned the Kouki sides are easier to find than that front lip. I may be able to get you a set of Kouki sides come spring anyway. ---

I was one of the people who voted. I don’t have paypal or a CC. Can I send you a check for the fifty bucks? I can have it sent by tomorrow morning’s mail pickup. Also, this lip is a Veilside correct? I was looking through their site and it’s neither the E-I or the E-II… is it something older and not on their site anymore? Also that Veilside one from the auction you mentioned looks extremely similar to the East Bear lip you showed. Lots of questions I know; sorry :o \*edit Oh yeah, what’s retail pricing for the original piece? ---

the lip i pictured on the first page is actually unknown, but we are being told that it most closely resembles a buddy club lip the Veilside lip is the one in the auction i just linked to. it is very obscure, and it isnt neither of the ones featured on their site. the auction says it is an oldie. i dont know if i will be able to win that auction. he wont ship outside the country. i have the auction sniped and i can have my buddy in the US pay for it and go pick it up there, but i know there are some homo’s out there with a $400 USD snipe on that lip, so i doubt i will get it. i have the upper hand on the one in the initial poist, because it hasnt been listed yet. it is a friend in florida that i have been talking to… he also has DJM sideskirts, but not the kouki ones. ---

Well I’m down for the Veilside but I don’t particularly like the Buddy Club design. So I guess I’ll wait and see how it plays out. ---
