The carbon lip looks pretty good. But like others have said, you can only use a 97 and up lip on a 97 and up bumper unless you're up for doing some custom fab'ing on the pre 97 lip. They all look great so do what you like.

This has got to be the best lip for the 97+ bumper BUT its a super badass DiY so it means you gotta make it your self

So is there a company that makes a polyurethane copy of the 92-96 lip?

For example, the 06-07 Subura Sti's Limited, had a front lip, price from factory is $450-$550!!! Ebay: $60.

WHY can't a manufacturer make one for the 92-96 and 97+ for under $200 and have it be of reasonable quality?

I rally my wrx, never had the lip crack, tear, deform, etc....infact I bought two in anticipation that the first would break within a year...

I just don't see why this is such a difficult part for a company to make...
