yeah I know it's less than 200 cuz i got mine for $180 from the other member. but he was taking about paint and labor so i was just guessing that it should not cost more than $500 for the lip, paint and install.

Default I have issue with Greddy, anyone else? Porcelain Front lips....

Hey - has anyone heard about Greddy Front lips cracking or splitting very easily? Myself and another 2 friends with Z's have split ours right in half. it happened at same point on all of our cars. Right where the 'punchout' is for the optional fog lights...on the right side.(Drivers) I am going to post pix, cuz I am angry about this! Greddy doesnt respond, and just ignores my requests for assistance to THREE purchasers of their products. I have like 5 Greddy products...strut bar, front lip, exhaust, shifter, etc...

Boners.

Y'know... I had another problem just like this with AEM. Great power increase, but crappy design. Right where the air sensor module is, there is a square metal fitting which vibrates pretty aggressively at higher RPM's....which is normal. But...it vibrated and turned clockwise rubbing through my high pressure air conditioning line.

They also....ignored me. I live right near them. I told them I would buy the part($80.00), they install the line(which was $400.00 in labor by Nissan) with their mechanics - who are very skilled, and this solution would cost neither of us much money. I gave them three weeks to respond, in the california summer, with no f'in A/C. Nothing.


That kind of **** bugs the hell out of me. In a rush to get stuff sold and on the market, the products have not got all the 'bugs' worked out - because they havent been installed or operated by enough people to fairly say it is a product without an 'error factor'.

So - now I am out:

AEM: $480.00 for a/c line & install

Greddy: $250.00 for lip purchase.
$180.00 Paint & Install
$90.00 Fog lights(i hadnt even had them on 2 weeks yet!)

In addition - I had to cut the original front body of the car to fit the fog lights in. So now I cant go without a front lip. ****. So add:

$200.00 New front lip
$180.00 Paint & install


Yeah. By the way. All of us split the Greddy Lip by hitting one of those little curbs infront of parking spaces. Not even 2 mph.

The original body plastics would NEVER break on that sort of thing. They would scuff, scratch, or flex. These things literally shatter like porcelain.

If anyone has any comments negative or positve =, please leave them here. I am debating taking these ignoring MF's to small claims court. Its not the shitty product, its the ignoring that burns me up. At least offer me something...like a replacement. I want the cost of paint and install too....but would feel "heard" and positive about the company if these unp[rofessional ****** would pick up a phone or email me.

Anyhow. Thanks for the opportunity to rant!

Comments? Again - I'll post pix if anyone responds.

it doesnt take that much to break fiberglass.. if its a FG lip, 2 mph with 3,000 pounds of weight pushin on it is a decent amount of pressure. maybe you just shouldnt hit things...icon32:

Just a quick question:

I was in my garage today and tried to put my lip on but the lip seems sorta short, by like .25" on each side. (it doesnt wrap around the whole bumper).

The lip is the Ings half lip, just wondering if the shop could fix this and what it would entail.
