Default Lip question!

Hey guys,

Anyone know if there is a FG version available somewhere of the SEIBON NS Style front lip?

This is EXACTLY what I want, but I want it to match the car, so shelling out the the cf isn't worth it to me.

Knock off's are fine... actually so long as fitment is okay, knock offs are even preferred, as they tend to be a bit less expensive...

If by some wild chance someone already has this lip painted Solid Red and looking to sell, PM me

Thanks!

EDIT: Waitaminnit... is this basically the same as the Nismo S-tune lip? Meaning it might be more cost effective to just buy one painted from Nissan????

Ah, okay -- thanks

Does the S-tune lip look out of place without sides or rear valence to match? I hadn't initially realized the seibon lip was a direct copy of that and thought it was a little less "agressive" than the S-tune at first.

Imho I think the s-tune lip is too big unless you paint the sides (ends) black. It can look okay on your factory sides and rear if you have the splash guards and car's lowered.

For me I'm waiting for EvoR's latest creation what it might look like.

The splash guards + lip are a good idea -- anyone rocking that look on here?

Is there another similar lip that goes over the fangs but doesn't stick out on the sides quite as much?

I wanted something that flowed really well with the front, and the other lips I've seen have a clear line that breaks from the rest of the front.

That looks REALLY good. Thanks for posting that -- I think I'd do the lip fully paint matched, but that looks great!

Hmm. The Vizage lip kind of has a line that breaks from the rest of the lip. I wish there was one that blended better...

Are you molding it to the bumper? I think it's an awesome looking lip, but there's a clear line that breaks from the edge of the bumper...

Either way, looking forward to pics

This is just my personal taste, but I think for a lip to really blend well, it's going to have to cover at least the center section and fit snugly around the fangs.
