i agree as well, type-r lip with diffuser, although how much downforce could you possibly need for the ep3 unless you are tracking it like the people in your pics....dunno seems like a waste of money imo

If I'm not mistaken that is the BTCC front end.

its not a BTCC front end its a Type-R front with a diffuser... If this is for street application it wont help downforce but for track it will make a difference but not as much as a properly tuned suspension!

It's the Tracy Sports front end. Also known as the Jazz Italy front end. Looks different without the widebody application.

It's not known as JAZZ but JAS Italy. Good luck because A: It's expensive and B: Shipping is More EXPENSIVE!

that's not a diffuser, that is called a splitter. diffusers let air out, splitters force air under.

Looks like a stock Type-R front end with a custom airdam + splitter for downforce.

I'd rather have a front splitter. Increased front traction via a splitter would be greater than an increase in front traction from a rear diffuser. I'm just correcting those who are calling the splitter a "front diffuser"

I thought about making a custom from splitter for my EP3 cause I think they look really awesome and since I plan on tracking my car when summer comes it might provide a benefit given I do my research and design it right. A lot of people online from searching use this stuff that is made out of aluminum and plastic cause it is strong and light weight and not terribly expensive.

plywood is also a good candidate.

the picturse posted in the first post aren't of any type of lips. it's just the typeR front bumper with probably a fiberglass or aluminum airdam attached to a splitter.
