Anyone know of a nice urethane lip available for under $200???
Hi folks.
I am ready to finish the cosmetic aspect of my car. A lady barely dinged my rear bumper and her insurance gave me $600.
I was going to do Stillen integrated rear wing and the GReddy Lip.
The GReddy lip looked good and was only 185 @ Hopup racing. However Steve tells me that they are back ordered up the a$$ and there is no way I am getting one inside of 6 months.
So Help me out guys. Where can I get a nice urethane lip that is 200 or under and what kind should it be?
It has to be subtle. For example, that Evo R wing is too much for me.
Advice???

Andy I can get a whole new FRP Nismo Bumper for 245$!!!
There is no way I am spending more than $200 on a lip. I would rather buy the whole bumper.

my only thoughts on the situation. REmember this is a $27-35K car. I am not sure you wanna put the cheapist aftermarket parts on there just to make it different than stock. I say either wait til you get what you wanted in the 1st place or maybe reconsider spending a little more.
good luck
good luck

When it comes to wheels I will shell out the 700 or so per wheel, but it does not cost a tremendous amount of money to stamp out a urethane lip
I dont think I am wrong in expectingto find something at around 200$

Hey Julien,
I'm guessing you factored in the cost of painting the lip too? So a 200 dollar lip will run you a little over 350 after everything is painted and mounted.
There might be a CF alternative in that 350+ price range but you probably don't want to deal with the rigidity and crack factor. Good foresight on the urethane though. My lip kisses the blacktop more than once a month and that flex definitely is a plus.
If you don't mind my opinion, I think the Greddy Gracer lips look beautiful on black cars because they blend well. (seen them in person). It might be stretch but I suggest calling up places and posting up and down these forums. SOMEONE'S gotta have it ...or is letting it go!
Good luck.

Looks like one of those lips that might need sideskirts or it'll not look too balanced.

Besides the low angle on the WW pic above makes it look like it's sticking forward more than it should.
Looking forward to seeing the results. Post pics!
