Someone please recomend a front lip to cover this. By the time I pain and get a bumper it will be more expensive than just getting a bumper that covers the scratch. There has to be something out there higher than the evo-r that will cover this.

O and btw, from z1 motorsports the nismo s tune is nice but it is 648$$

Any help is appreciated. Post links and suggestions because painting just doesnt make sense price wise especially if I am getting a front lip

The stillen front bumper is a complete replacement bumper, but I suggest you stay away from that piece. You have to remember that nothing is cheap on this car, so $300-600 is a pretty good deal for a front lip. It is all going to depend on how much you want to modify your car: front lip or full bumper replacement?

Nothings going to cover all that? Just get it repainted it's not hard to pull the bumper off, and have a paint shop fix it, unless you want to just change it out?

I've already told you bro, the evo-r lip is not going to cover it up. Plus you already had another thread for the same thing, so there was no need to make a whole new thread for the same problem. With that said, what about the shine auto front lip? Check this thread: Shine Auto Lip Kit installed

I don't think the stillen one will be much help, but maybe?

You can try the sunline rep kit from shine auto. I think this'll cover the painful scratches on your car. It's listed at $300 for FRP. It's a little more for Carbon Fiber.

+1 on this one. The EVO-R lip will not cover your scrape.

FYI, you'd most likely have to get it painted. There are various ways to paint this but it's up to you to decide. Good luck.
