that type r lip is bad ass

**Rach3T8G** · 09-04-2010, 11:56 AM

i was gonna go for the mugen lip but i think im goin with the spoon lip now

**beam514** · 09-06-2010, 09:23 PM

pics for proof
The lip is made of polyurethane, not ABS, so it's pretty dang flexible. I might even be able to cut it with a multi-tool knife

and mounting brackets

I wasnt even aware Spoon made a 'teg lip. Im interested in seeing how this turns out.

Im thinking about a Mazda 6 front lip and Ive seen a 2 piece front lip on the 01-06 Camry that might look good, kinda a S-VR4 look to it minus the holes.

MK3 VW front lip, they come in 2 pieces, find an extra piece to extend the middle and VIOLA!

I made this lip for my 240sx, but its down and the galant needed a lip and I saw opportunity, it fit so it stays with the galant. It was sticker bombed before I put it on...

Before... you can see the ziptie stitching..

After bombing... (ignore the ill fitting body panels, they were removed constantly..)

On the Galant..

** Its important to note that the sides will fit perfectly, mine do not because I did not drill the holes yet in this picture for the end zipties to make it even.. It does sit evenly, more pictures soon.**

hmmm interesting Kouki

EDIT: with the polyurethane, a hairdryer will work just fine to mold it. Maybe on the ends you could use a heat gun, but I still managed it with a hairdryer. Just try not to run it too long without giving it time to cool off. And don't use your wife's top-of-the-line hairdryer either. Don't wanna destroy it and then lose your marriage because of a car lip :P

That's not a real Spoon lip.....it'd be a lot more if was one....and it'd look like this:

i like the fake spoon style one better. the real jdm spoon looks more similar to the mugen lip.

**03chi-town0z** · 09-16-2010, 01:24 PM

anyone ever considered this lip/skirt set or anything mentioned here for that matter: http://www.j-rally.net/~marjo/comfort/leg1/index2.html ? or just not worth the money to import maybe:

**Kalamidad** · 12-12-2010, 12:36 PM

Well, if you have the resources to get it, someone to import or the money to order it that's a great choicem. The point to this thread was to find inexpensive and easily attainable alternatives since the 8G does get a lot of support.

Thanks for the input.
