Front lip

Does anyone know of any front lips for our 2G TSX?

Looking for something like this:

11 14 Impreza CS Type 1 Front Bumper Lip Urethane | eBay

BTW has anyone tried that gen. STI lip on our cars?

Ya I asked him also, but he wouldn't respond. It's custom but idk from where. I contacted AeroFlow dynamics but they haven't made one for the SE CU2 and I'm not located near their facility.

<p>Treyvon Thach from the CU2 SQUAD FB group put a 2012 STI lip on his SE. Required some modifications.</p><p><img src="https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/acurazine.com-vbulletin/720x405/80-12003182_10153149748198443_3424618193026101804_n_b 8ab9b6db0e20f1b07426a2024ef04d9da1dee19.jpg" title="" /><br /><br />&nbsp;</p>

The one on the lexus literally looks like garage door liner

So if that's what you want go to home depot and pick some up.

</p><p>The lip/home depot material is angled on one side then goes flat, like a 7 but angled out not in, if that makes sense. When I installed it on my Si, I used 3m tape on one side and taped it to the curvature of my lip, then spaced out some self taping screws with washer every 2 ft or so, and at the ends.</p><p>It stayed on for about 6 mo until I cut the driveway angle and ripped one corner off.</p>

Yea I know it's garage liner but I want one that looks like that made from urethane or something similar. I like the way it looks, but the All fit lip/garage liner looks ratchet IRL.

I have to say people like that really bug the shit out of me. Swag4life degenerate not willing to help out the community. I mean I get it. People like to steal your shit and never give props. But people are going to figure out your set up sooner or later.

I knew his bio would say "blessed" before I even looked at it. LMAO He hosts parties too!! hahahaha Who doesnt. Next he'll have a tag to sign up for his bottle service.

He's got the whole #I'mIGfamous starter kit going. Of course he's on Vossens too. AND from Florida. Making more sense now.

One person I saw asked what the lip was and he responded to DM him. Try that.

This is where Id put my money guys...

It does look ghetto as fuck. I personally cant stand it. Easiest way to make a car looks ricey and ghetto.
Next spray the tail lights and wheels black then call it a day.

Hmm, that does look pretty good but I don't think the 06-07 WRX will fit our CU2s. Some of the 11-13 WRX ones are similar to the style I want, but haven't found anyone able to do a plug and play solution with one yet.

If all else fails I guess I'll buy one of those All fit things, paint it, and see how it looks.

Add to it the fact that he calls himself blessed and you just cant help but want to give him a bloody nose.

If anyone's interested in asking him what that front lip is; try the Footlocker at Wellington Green's mall.

You wont find a "plug n play" for any of these lips. They are all made for an entirely different car and will all require modification to fit.

I put a 2005 wrx lip on my ILX. Many people have after. Depending on how you install it will either have the lip sit under the bumper like mine or as others have installed it with the lip sticking out an inch on both sides. Its plastic and can be pulled a bit because of how it is shaped. The winglets on the outside will start to look funnier the further you pull on the lip but the 2006 to 20012 WRX is only off by a few inches. It'll fit if modified correctly. But they will all take modification believe me.

Oh god i hate those people. They post all their shit on IG and talk about how blessed they are and how they "started from the bottom" when in reality they are working at fucking taco bell or some shit and living in a shack while they brag about their ratchet broken ass salvage car with it's jank mods

this is why i dont go to meets anymore

What you think and say is irrelevant.

There was note hate. Ive given him nothing but compliments when he posted here.

I simply told acura they should feature a new ilx and not the same one in the past 3 features... Especially when that 1 ilx is one wheels 90% of the community find to be too big.

I was also the one one to stick up for and give advice to the same guy.

Thats not hate. Thats an opinion.

Dang, I'll prob try painting one of those rubber things and see how it looks. Main reason why I want it is cuz I've already scraped my lip thing and I'm not lowered at all.

I'll go ahead and suggest "garbage". It'll look like garbage.

Try if you want, and if you're happy, then cool. But in my experience, there have been very few times I've seen the garage door spl pulled off well.

Guys have been doing that for a long time, and on some of the '80s cars it may not look *horrible* (think the square BMW chins) but on these newer "swoopy" cars, it never looks right.

But that's just my opinion. Good luck if you do try.
