Default Single Exit Rear Lip?

Who else other than Greddy makes one? I'd prefer urethane, the Greddy is fiberglass AND ridiculously expensive.

Just buy one you like and have the body shop shave one of the exits.

Yeah your odds are slim unless it's something custom or modified. Also if you think the Greddy rear lip is ridiculously expensive, it's one of the cheapest on the market. Might be better off just staying stock.

Are you kidding me? These are a lot cheaper:

Ok, so it appears as though the GReddy is the only single exit rear lip. It looks great, but I don't like fiberglass.

What clean looking rear lips are out there? I'll just have the body shop fill in the other exhaust hole.

I don't remember where, but I saw a pic of someone with this rear cover:

and they did the bumper tuck and just completely cut out that bottom exhaust section. It looked cool, that's another option I'm looking at.

For the amount of money you are looking to spend...not many. The one's you posted are about it.

Ok, say my budget went up to $500? If I feel something is worth it, I'll spend the money. The reason I complained about the price of the GReddy is because it's simply a lip, and fiberglass at that. I can see spending $700 on a carbon fiber front lip, but $500 on a fiberglass rear lip? There are full bumpers out there for $500. It's all about perceived value with me.

If you're planning to mold in one side of the exhaust, fiberglass is easier to work with vs. urethane. Fiberglass in the rear is more resilient to cracking than they are in the front.

Thank you for your input. Ok, so what clean looking fiberglass rear lips are there? I really like the simplicity of the GReddy, but what else?

ings+1 is very clean, they offer a hybrid material as well. Vertex is nice too.

Thanks for the tip, the Vertex does look clean. The MSA Suzuka is a nice INGS +1 lookalike except cheaper and made of urethane. If I decide to go with this look, I'll get the MSA from thezstore.com.
