Its styled off the Burnout Type II but not the real deal, the difference can be seen in the definition of the crease thatcontacts the lower portion of the bumper, the Burnout is a very crisp well defined edge, the one shown(suspect ebay) has a less defined gradual slope that has a larger radius

EDIT-oops didnt see the post from the owner,

 

^ True. I didn't look at it that close. There are just so many Burnout styled lips out there on Ebay that look alike with a quick glance.

 

Those 55ms are soo sexy !!!!!

 

How strong are these lips??

 

They dont look solid at all. If you go to the link he sent me through pm. You can see its a very thin plastic. Heres the link:

which? the Burnout lip or the ebay lip?

I know my old CF Burnout lip is extremely strong, the ebay lip I think is a duraflex material, so its strong in a sense that its "gummy" or rubbery, it gives/flexes alot.

 

To install it, do you have to have the front bumper lip from the RX-8 Appearance Package or with out? By the looks of it, it's flimsy!

 

you replace all front lips (appearance package or regular air dam) with the new lip

 

The splitter just slips over the front as long as you don't have the airdam. It's a very simple fix but I really need mine up on a ramp so I can get right under it and really secure it as it's sagging a little at the front.

It's not a hard material but very durable and will easily withstand some serious scraping. It managed to arrive with me in the UK with no packaging whatsoever without doing any damage at all to it. It's like a bendy rubber, I guess if you were going to paint it then it wouldn't be too bad. I was planning a sticker bomb but my main priority is to get it on better and lower the car a little more.

Got some more pictures, you can really see how high the car sits now..

 

not true, you need the regular air dam. i have the shine lip and it just slides right over the oem air dam. all you need are 2 screws for the side and 3m tape.

Grace Excel... maybe if you show up to one of our meets you can see the lip in person on my car.

 

If its a good kind of frp it might work...looking for some flex...dont want to crack it.

interesting ebay listing...cheap

What I will be doing is putting together a pretty big splitter up front...and have this as the top portion of it.

Was really looking at the Shine Auto One...ebay one looks similar...i was just hoping for something that can flex a little so that it doesn't break/crack.


was thinking of ordering a bunch of Shine auto ones...I dunno...lol

Damn these are so sexy! These are SA60M and not SA55M as the picture states.

 

Jedi?? oops! lol jk jk

 

yeah they look like replicas of replicas

 

I like those Weds! I think the concavity is really nice. I just wished there was a lip

 

omg those weds are bad ***!!!!

 

haha...but not!

which wheel?

 

^ - he was just poking more fun at jedi for his "knock off rpf1's"

 

I almost put a down payment on them but they only come in matte black or gloss black. I do not want to do the all black look so I'm waiting to see if they come in other colors.

 

They practically look exactly like Forgestar F14's that quite a few of us have.

 

 

1. F14s are split 7 spoke
2. I have been wanting these wheels before F14s arrived on 8club

 

with fancy colors... what did the wheel weight end up being for all you 18x10 F14 owners?

 

hmmmmmmmmmm- definitely a tough call...

...i'm still holding out for an aggressive set of circular spec r's in mirror finish...

 

Which is why I stated practically. I don't care if they came before or after, just saying they both look identical in design basically minus 1 split spoke
