When we design a body part we really want to see how it looks on the whole vehicle. We want to be able to see all the angles and really have it fit with the car as a whole.

A used f sport bumper are cheap off of ebay...but, you need to see the whole car to give the lip the right amount of styling.

The should cross skipper with a bit of curve like the IS350 (left and right 3rd of the front)

I didn't state eBay lips I'm saying there are plenty of people selling used factory bumpers on eBay so they can come up with a design.

My misunderstanding.

Looking forward to the Stillen lip. Hopefully it will be a two piece like the 5-axis prototype.

We have a lot of project coming up, but I will keep everyone posted as we get closer. I will most likely put up a thread for design input and see what kind of look the community wants and then go from there. I don't have a timeline.

Anyone in SoCal want to volunteer? We would need the car for a couple weeks to do the molding.
Do you provide a rental for the duration?

I have my CF skipper lip for the past 2 years now. It never cracked on me and I'm slammed on rsr coils. But I did scraped it a few times but you can't see it. I feel the lip is quite strong
