front lip?????

I haven't don't anything to my car for a while, and I need to. I can't justify spending over a grand on the knight sports front bumper right now so I'm thinking about getting a lip just until I'm in a better situation.
I want something that's going to look good with my knight sports side skirts can someone recommend a few lips with pics???

paging pdxhak.
this is one SEXY CF lip, you could always paint it if you don't like the CF look.

I'd agree, except you're looking at over a grand with that piece shipped and painted anyways

I have the Burnout, super clean and goes with the factory lines really well, Kris had it to when you photographed his WWP...

But honestly I dont think the thickness in the rounded edges would match the tightness of the rounded edges in your KS sides,,, My recomendation to you would be the RMagic lip....

That grand will be a lot closer if you don't spend money on other parts which you will eventually get rid of (AKA the lip being replaced by the bumper).

You can always sell ur old bumper on here and most likely someone will buy ur lip for like 80% of what u bought it for. That person would be me....

My vote goes to the Burnout kit. LEG is great n' all - but not my style.

Yeah the Burnout type II you can get a really decent replica from Shine AutoProject, for I think $250... It might be the best and cheapest solution...

I love the LEG lip Of course it is not for everyone...

Looking at the KS sides they do not come down as far as others so the LEG lip would hang lower. Not sure if that matters to you but thought it was worth mentioning.

JapanParts has a group buy going now and it is less than what I paid shipped. Also as someone mentioned there is a FRP version which will save you money but of course it needs to be painted.

Check my album for some pics

Also search for auzoom's posts because he has a sweet looking WB with the LEG CF lip I believe he was the first on the board to have it and I am the first in the USA with it.

Let me know if you have any questions.

That Leg Motorsports lip is sexy, I got to see it in person over the weekend. Check it (don't mind the bugs, we just finished a 100+ mile drive):




I gotta say I agree with Rotr8 though, R-Magic would look good with the KS sides.

yeah Id be careful in matching the style of the LEG to the sides of the KS I really thing they clash, but ultimately its your call and one thing for sure there will be great pics not matter what the lip...

thanks for the advice and that guys, pdxhak yeah i read your posts dude, just had a hard time following everything as i was looking on my cell phone.
If you look at the appearance package front mud guards theyre a bit higher than the lip.
the knight sports side skirts are a bit lower than the appearance package so i think it would be a good match. Im just now wondering how much its going to cost with shipping, its weird my side skirts cost about 200 to ship i dont see why this would be much more
