You know, a TL member on here bought the lip that they sell for the 3rd gen TL's and when he put it on, it actually didnt look too bad. I'm curious to how this will look on a 04/05 TSX.

man.. and I definitely need to go to MachV's meets sooner or later.

that lip looks like a knock-off mugen lip. just like those knock off mugen lips for civics and integras. looks like poop to me. save up and purchase a LEGIT A-Spec front lip or a Euro-R lip.

once you hit a pothole or debris on the road, that lip will crack or fly off your car. just my 2cents.

but i don't like the a-spec nor the euro-r lip for the '06 .. thats why i was looking at this. also, the concept lip i want is UNDER the front bumper as the machV for impreza is but i don't think anybody makes one . that ebay one is the closest i've seen

Sorry to say, but that ebay link for the TSX lip is for 04/05 TSX applications only. If you're planning to get somethinjg for the 06, this wont work.

This is what I would like to see for the TSX..A lip that fills the middle "groove" of the front bumper and makes it straight across and I like the idea of it being black and not the same color as the car. Lastly, the fact that it sits below the front bumper.

someone make me one

Anybody heard of/had dealings with this company?

www.seiboncarbon.com

Under the FAQ section it says:

Q. Do you make custom parts for my car?
A. We are able to make most parts in carbon fiber. We are interested in custom jobs in the form of special orders with a minimum quantity of 20 items. If you would like to obtain more information, you can email to info@seibon.com.

I need 19 peeps so we can get them to make a carbon fiber front lip spoiler for the tsx!

How much for those Custom CF Lip.

What kinda shape do you want those CF Lip to looks like? Does it gonna looks like the WRX V-limit lip??? And does it use on a TSX without ANY Lip? Or it can be used on a TSX With A-spec/Euro-R lip???

Great questions. The idea for a lip I had was one that would work with the stock front bumper. It would mount below the front bumper like this:

I have not emailed them about a price or anything yet. I wanted to check and see how many might be interested.

It will only looks good with a lip already on. The STi has a default lip so it makes it looks good. If it just a piece of that on a stock car (TSX in this case), it might look dumb.

Where's our photoshopperS?

Don't h8 :P I understand what you are saying though I think. Do you mean that its already got a similar looking "stock" lip that sticks out? because in post #1 there's an older wrx I believe and it doesn't have the same "stock" lip as the newer wrx.
http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c..._1934_29681788

What I personally like is the idea of having it make the entire front look a fraction lower and it look good enough to where you wouldn't need the rest of a body kit but you could if you wanted. Also, I don't like the "groove" in the middle of the front bumper. I like the idea of having it filled in with the lip and having the lip make the bumper flat all the way across. If someone here could photoshop it then that would be great.

Not bad but I don't like the supports. Same concept though

I think I'm going to try and contact seibon tomorrow and see what our options might be.
