STI Lip

Guys that bought it, did you go with Polypropylene or Polyurethane? Also, was there any cutting/ modifications that needed to be done?

Can you help me pick out which one to get from ebay? There's a billion listings, so I'm not sure which one to get.

I'm thinking of getting this one: LINK

Or help me pick a better one from the listings below:

EBAY Link

Thanks!

1. Don't be that guy. Share the love. I was the first to put an sti lip on my ILX and I have helped every single person who has asked me since. Not once did I bs about people having the same lip I do.

2. Don't park like that. You'll need to learn to stop pulling forward a few inches before the parking block or yes you will screw up your bumper.

I dont have much ground clearance in the front. My phone on it's side it taller than the clearance I have in the front. Just dont pull all the way forward like those idiots that park with their bumper OVER the parking block.

P.S. There are AT LEAST 5 ILX owners rocking the STI lip. Me, AarontheAsian, Pockets, md, and sadaat. In my opinion it looks too good to not be on every ILX out there.
Good luck finding an alternative lip. If you dont you'll just be like the 100+ other ILXs with the factory front lip... or you could be like the other 5 and rock the sti lip.

P.P.S. I put some close ups of the lip in my thread.

Or just reverse into parking spots which is what I prefer to do. More clearance out back than up front. Makes getting out easier too.
