04-08 stock front GT lip
 

EDIT: Since it became immediately obvious that this thread would serve no useful purpose, I was going to delete it but apparently I don't have that ability as it is not showing that option. I guess at this point I'm just here for the gangbang. :ylsuper:

WTB stock GT front lip. No aftermarket parts. Prefer black but will take any color and repaint as long as it is in good condition. You will need to be able to package it to survive shipment and send to 37814. Ready to buy now, prefer a seller able to send the part out asap.

Please post pics and price shipped, as well as when you would be able to ship.

Are you referring to the basic aero kit lip that replaces the lower airdam?

If so I have a brand new TG one I'll sell you.

Yes, not the black plastic trim that comes on base models but the body colored 2-3" lip overlay that comes on GT models.

So the front lip from the appearance package. I think mazda still makes them if you wanna spend money.

Hmmm. This isn't going as planned. These would seem to be simple concepts that are eluding viewers.

Every GT rx8 I have ever seen has a front lower lip on the front bumper. Some models that are not GT's also have the lip. IT is not the thin black plastic lip that base models came with. IT is the thicker body color painted lip. IT can be seen in the picture above (broken). That is why I asked for a "GT front lip".

I want to buy a used one that isn't damaged badly. This is for a flip car and so I do not want to spend money on it as if it were my personal car. I just need to make it look decent again. IF I bought a new one with new paint on it, it would make the rest of the car's aged paint look bad, so a used one is preferable for two reasons (appearance and money).

Yeah that's the appearance package lip. Not all GT's had them (mine didn't).

It's called the oem appearance package front lip. Rosenthal Mazda still sells them, as well as most dealerships.
Or ebay

Right in the USA(maybe other regions) all grand tourings got the appearance package(EDIT: well not according Loki, my bad), on other models it was an option. So, I wouldn't really call it a GT lip. Anyway good luck, have you called junk yards around your location?

Maybe this was a bad idea. I guess I should just go to ebay and buy the first one that pops up and save time and effort. The forum seems pointless at this stage in the game.

Correct. I have a GT and it did not come with the aero kit. It was a (port) option I believe.

In any event I believe I have a brand new aero front lip and side flairs too if you're interested, Kevin. They're titgray so a repaint would be required regardless.

I'll also likely be expecting more than you're willing to pay but we shall see.

I'll drop you a PM tonight.

Look people, I'm not really looking to debate the original specs and options of an 11 year old car. I just want to buy a used part and be on my way.

But, with that said, I have probably seen as many rx8s as anyone here, since I work on them on a daily basis and also buy and sell them. Maybe there are US spec GT's out there that came without the front lip. IF so they are few and far between. Every GT I have ever seen in person, as well as some of the lower trim models, have that lip.

Also, there are only two factory options for the lower front lip, and since I described exactly what I expected to buy, I don't think that anyone here reasonably had confusion as to what I am asking for. So you guys are just posting to troll or get attention.

No trolling here bud

Sorry, we were trying to help you get what you need faster and you took it offensively? But, yeah just double checked the promotional material, it comes from the Appearance Package, which was Optional and Dealer Installed. Cheers

Haha wow you need to relax. Everyone in this thread has given you a name to the piece you're looking for. But if you have another name for the thingamajig front whatsit, then good luck finding it.

The funny thing is that I know more about rx8s than everyone posting in this thread so far, but by all means, let's not that stand in the way of some fun.

So do you want my aero front lip or not? PM me an offer.

And take your meds. Damn dude!

Meds? Really? So I am supposed to expect those who reply to bust my balls about a minute technicality such as the mazda-given name of a part which I very clearly described and should be obvious to any enthusiast/owner?

THERE ARE ONLY TWO LIPS THAT EVER CAME ON 04-08 RX8S FROM THE FACTORY. IT's not as though there are 4 or 5 versions that I was vague about. If the vast majority of GT rx-8 models came with one of those two versions, is it unreasonable to expect that this is the version I am asking to buy? And even after I clarified it twice and also posted a pic people still want to nitpick and question the wording of the thread.

I guess with that in mind, no one will be bothered if I go through the forum and correct posters as to the actual technical name of the part they are talking about then? If someone is selling a console lid latch I can correct them and tell them that mazda actually calls it a "lock" (they do) and ask them if that is what they are actually talking about. IF they are talking about a "coolant seal" for the inside of the engine block I can correct them and tell them that mazda actually calls it a "rubber" and pretend not to know what a "coolant seal" is.

Sounds like great fun. Who is really off their meds?

Shelldude, thank you for the offer. I've just decided to search elsewhere for one that I can get in-hand quickly and with minimal hassle. Again, this is just a flip car and I am not trying to launch the space shuttle here by installing brand new parts on a car I am going to make a grand on at the end of the day.

Meds was a joke... Trying lighten the tension.

Anyway. I can't sell you my GT lip because it is a simple black piece of plastic. Offer is still open on the aero lip though :)

Go easy on us. Peeps are just trying to help.

Thanks for your replies and offers BTW. I have a feeling your new lip is worth more than I could pay and still be in the green on this car. You can buy an unpainted chinese replica of the stock (whatever you would call a 2.5" thick piece of plastic that attaches to the bottom of the front bumper on the vast majority of US rx8 GT models) for $125 shipped. And to the buyer of an 11 year old $6k car it will look just the same as the original part which mazda probably gets $250+ for.

I feel like I usually go as "easy" on people as they are on me. :dunno:

This is probably a wasted post, but no one is nitpicking here. No one is out to get you. You are wanting to purchase a part, and members here OFFERED YOU HELP by giving you the name of the piece so that your search for said part would go smoother. That's all it was: Offered assistance.

We all know how knowledgeable you are. Some of us in this thread have actually pointed cetain members looking for rebuild advice or help your way. Good to know you're modest though.

Take the tinfoil off your head. There's no conspiracy.

Wait Shell Dude you have a OEM appearance package air dam/front lip you are willing to sell? I'm interested. PM me!

I have everything but the rear spoiler. Sold that piece a couple years ago because my GT came with just the rear spoiler.

RR, I saw the $125 fleabay one and chuckled a little when I found it. Definitely the way to go

how much? got pictures? ebay front lip sucks.

Well I for one appreciate the info members, I'm going away with some new info. thanks for those that posted the info.
