Yesterday installed the Evo-R carbon fiber front lip. And I must say this lip is awsome. Def. worth the $. Great fitment, easy to install. Could have used instructions in english as reference thou. But over all great product, great look. Love it.
Here's some pics.

Looks like the Burnout lip. Pretty nice though. Do you not have any sides on? Just the front?

I'm looking at getting the the side skirts from Evo-R, which I believe are the Burn out side skirts. They basically resemble the Seibon cf side skirts. It should look good with gunmetal wheels, cf rear lip spolier, cf gas door, and smoked tail lights and tinted windows, and ofcourse the cf front lip, it all should flow nicely.

don't get seibon cf sides,
just go with overlay on ms sides,
will look a lot better.

yes, you could probably use that too, but it will be more "permanent." that is the best price you are gonna get something like that. if you want cheaper parts maybe you shoulda got a civic or something.:lol:

Is there really anyone out there selling an overlay for the grey stripe on the MS sideskirts?

It's a very good price for a carbon fiber lip. The only problem is that EVO-R have a really bad reputation of bad fitment issues with their replicas and products.

Hi all, just wondering if it makes ANY differences if my rx8 got the appearance package front lip or not?

It will have no problem sticking on the front with or without the front lip???

THANKS!

It does make a difference in terms of the look. But for me, if I were to get the appearance lip, I would get sideskirts as well. The front lip is a little bit lower than the plastic lip. Search the forum. There are plenty of pics.

Thx thebiggdaddy...my question is if Evo-R + appearance package lip will look different from Evo-R + stock plastic lip.

And you mean there WILL be differences?

Thanks for your help. =)

you will have to take the appearance package lip off first. it will not fit over it. be cautious about ordering from Evo-R too.

I need to make sure they have it in stock? What kind of "checklist" I should have in order to avoid any misunderstanding and inconveniences?

Thanks! Your front lip looks dope :)

I feel bad whoring the site with questions, but I did search...and find nothing.

My question is this:

Carbon fiber lip + winter driving in Canada = cracked crabon fiber pwned lip or
SAME fate as fiber-glass lip?

Thanks...I promise I will asnwer other noobs if they ask this question lol

same as fiberglass. all it is, is a fiberglass lip with a layer of CF over it.
