im looking for a cf lip for my R, but all i can find are for the DC2 front. if any of you watched the mtv true life show the kid had one on his usdm front end, does anyone know who makes these or where to find them?

 

ibtl, y0.

 

y would this be locked? i know his car was jdm and had the older front but i still dont know where you find them, or even if the japanese 4 headlight front is identical to the usdm front

 

If it was a JDM front end, then he was using a JDM lip.
And you're right, it's hard to find a decent USDM CF front lip.

By the way, whether it's JDM, USDM or UKDM ... it's still a DC2.

I dont why this thread would be locked either. Just because he saw a nice car on MTV, he has to hate?

Here is what you are looking for.

i know the kid was pretty heavy on mugen with the cf mugen wing and wheels but i've never heard of mugen making a cf front lip for a usdm front teg, and i havent been able to find one

 

You can also ALMOST custom fit a 96+ JDM ITR Spoon lip to fit 94-97 chassis.

 

here ya go:




i forgot the website. sorry

 

hey thanks for the help. have u had any experience with jspec online? i've seen some pretty shotty carbon fiber in my day

 

im getting red x's for some odd reason, can you post the pic url?

 

wow . . . that's a nice cf lip there

 

That lip looks great.

 

really u can't see the pics? weird...well when i've emailed them about the lips they were really quick on responses and they said $375 shipped and the price is kinda high. IMO i would only pay about $220 or so for that lip. doesn't seem worth it that much for daily driving because it might get all tore up

 

You tease!
Nice lip, ... looks like it's got a bit of a functional splitter effect as well.

 

yea the lip does actually look nice. i would say paint a little bit of the upper part of the lip. seems like a little too much black huh?

 

Probably only because it's lower, and comes forward (projects) more than stock.

And therein lies the problem with CF lips. They are extremely expensive, offer very minimal weight savings, derive no aerodynamic benefit from being constructed from CF, and aren't as durable as lips made from other materials (with the possible exception of fiberglass). They're pretty much solely a cosmetic mod, which no unpainted CF part was ever intended to be in the first place.

 

thats the website!!! hahaha i was like....man i knew it was "jspec..." something. lol

 

i want a lip for a little style and want something different, and there is nothing in the world better than carbon fiber

 

That Lip in the pics is way to bulky looking in person. Looks like a OEM Type R Lip times 3. Way to big if u ask me. "To each his own"

 

ya, i wish i could see a pic of it on a car....

i dont know why someone would use that on the street.

It would be nice to see better pics of that JDMSpec lip for a 94-97 Teg.
