i'm thinking about getting my j's lip copied (urethane and CF possibly, fiberglass for sure) for a couple friends of mine. does anyone know of any shops in the so. cal area that would be able to work with me on this?

thanks,
robert

 

Is this the Civic or CRX lip? 90-91 or 88-89?

 

it's my EF8 J's Racing lip.

 

Urethane is really expensive due to the process and mold. CF or fiberglass is cheaper to mold. I can have it made in either CF or fiberglass, but making the mold will cost you your lip.

 

The EF8 lip has already been made into a copy in both CF and FG. But whats the point the J's lip is already FG. Ppl just need to stop being cheap and fork out the money if they want it. If they cant afford it, then oh well. Stick with the HD vesion that you can ruin or get the RRG one that is metal and you can reshape if it gets busted.

yes bryant, not everyone wants to (or can) pay the $325 i did for the real j's lip. because the guy that was making copies cannot be located any longer, i was going to look into doing what he was doing. initially i'd be doing it for a few friends but who knows how high the demand would end up being...THAT'S the point.

 

ahh okay. From just looking at his old post it didnt sound like there was much demand at all beucase he was charging only like 50 dollers less or something and its really wanst worth it to ppl the pay $200-250 for a lip. You could always try it, but why? Just keep the J's lips rare so they dont get played out like everything rare is right now.

 

eek, did you see the old thread?? it grew and grew and grew and the demand was ridiculous. but you know what, you're right about the rare thing. there aren't too many people that have them and that's one of the things i like about it. makes me feel special.

on a sidenote, do you still have that rear ef7 bumper? how much do you think shipping would be to 90042? pm me...

 

**** there is already a company in So Cal (santa fe springs) that makes J's knockoffs for both JDM and USDM crx fronts...let me find the link, they sell for $200 i know that.

200 for a copy lip?? when the real one goes for like 250-300 bux .. **** thats a rip off ... some1 needs to make copys and sell them for alot less so they can get rich
