i've found and ordered a genuine greddy gracer polyeurethane front lip for the non aero front from the states and it comes in at 300-00 delivered to the uk.....do you guys reckon this is a bit too cheap? seems cheap, what with jap exchange rates, i just wonder if its just because someones had it sitting in stock for ages.....anyway, heres the pics of the item





if anyones interested in these and the item arrives as described proving the seller is trustworthy - then i'd be happy to pass on the details of the bloke to whoever wants them:)

Dunno what it's like according to today's rates but I'm sure I've got a genuine item when I purchased the car from Torque GT. They sourced my Trust lip from another supplier and it was definitely less than £300 - more like £200 or a little over so to me, sounds about right :)

Id say thats the right price mate considering they are FRP ? or at least plastic hybrid. I think it will finish off your car nicely and was what i was intending to do if i couldnt source a decent S15 with Aero front.

Edit - Just noticed its plastic so seems like a not too bad price, far better than FRP.

OK here we go.......

ordered on the 2nd from a supplier in the states, arrived today - dropped the paintbrushes (i was painting the spare room:)) and started the test fitting straight away.

mr TNT brings me a BIG box :D


a lot of good these are:confused:


first fit prior to trimming to clear the intercooler pipework


fitted - goes to the sprayer tommorrow:D






as you can see here, the front bumper is now on the same level as the rest of the aero, even the profile matches up to the aero skirts and spats:D


overall i am 101% chuffed with this and would recommend the seller to anyone who wants one of these. i cant describe just how easy to fit this was and fits absolutely perfectly with no messing about other than the trimming to clear the intercooler pipework which isnt the products fault, i think i'll be buying genuine from now on - i am converted, even if my wallet isn't:nod:

bought because it was 'cheep' like the budgie - was better than what else was available - iirc S15 PAP, S15 DAF and whatnot lol

guest - did yours ever arrive?

i'll update this with some pics tomorrow now its painted and fitted. the painter found that the low bake oven over heated it a little and it needed heating to pull the plastic back into shape, but its still a near perfect fit, just a little more heating and adjustment to make it absolutely perfect.

Looks very nice Dean, ties in well with the skirts.

Just out of interest, how much ground clearance do you loose?

about 20-25mm, no more than that. besides the bodywork clearance has never been a problem, just the exhaust:nod:

Yeah, same here. Exhaust mid-section likes the odd scrape now and then!!
