Default Body kit ideas

anybody know if the Do-Luck front lip (the low low part) will fit on the bomex front bumper? I was just thinking cause i want to put my car further to the ground with the front lip spoiler. but i dont want the stock one. Do you think it would fit?

i'm pretty sure it would. i have the do-luck front lip just sitting in my room. the lip is very simple to install. heck, it would probably fit onto the stock bumper!

would i need to buy the whole front bumper? or do they sell the lip by itself? cause this may be something interesting i might want to look into.

i don't think they sell the lip by itself. they'll make you buy the whole bumper. you've got to find someone that has an extra lip laying around. Hint hint.

i got what your saying, I did happen to take it upon myself to do a little web-searching myself, and came across their website www.do-luck-usa.com and found the "front bumper diffuser"

is that what its called? cause its 475$. i posted a link in the photoshop forum and ill probably try to do a chop myself and ill let you know do-luck what i decide to do, and if you want to sell it shoot me a PM with the price, and ill let you know if i want to do it or not.

The doluck japan site seems to have a lot less parts, but the same pictures. The differences between the two lead me to believe that the japanese prices are WAY lower, but they don't have all the parts on there. Ie if you buy the 3 piece kit off the japanese site, you don't get the lip and rear spoiler?? That is, new bumpers front and rear (no lip or spoiler) and skirts. The prices certainly are attractive though, and I may try to do some more investigation on getting stuff from Japan....

If you want answers, I'd suggest calling one of the dealers listed on the usa site. In fact, please do, and tell us what you get in the 3 piece meal, I mean kit, and if the front bumper does include the lip???

Please!

Last time I bought Doluck front bumper I got the lip along with it.

Im kinda wondering if the pieces on Doluck USA they are listing are just universal items (the ones people have no clue about). Looks like to me everything below the Power assit bar they list for the JZZ30/SC300 is all universal.

im pretty sure thats what its for.

It is universal so i think that you cut the flat side to mount flushly on your front bumpers underside.

Yeah diffusers are used to re-route air flow on the car to decrease the air resistance and make it more aero dynamic.
