lol thank you doctor! I use to race motocross and hare scrambles. I have quite a bit of stitch making experience. I notice that a lot of people don't put the crack stops on their bumpers. Lol

@slc thanks man!! I sent the seller a message. Lets hope he doesn't mind shipping it to me. If he doesn't my next best option is around $170 bucks from some shop I found online.

That sucks bakuro! Hopefully the stitch will hold up until you get that replacement.

I want to see this phantom bumper. Where is a picture of what this gabkill character did?

EDIT: Nvmd, I found it...(SEARCH!)

Yea it's pretty crappy.

Gives me an excuse to upgrade though I guess. Maybe I'll go ahead and fit it up to make room for the Evo 8 intercooler that I'll put on when its turbo'd.

yeah the lips matches the lines pretty good, except at the ends...is it capped, or can you just trim it?

LOL Thanks everyone! I figured I would try something different. To answer everyone's questions. The lip is actually made for an 06 WRX STi. I saw a few 2g RA guys with it and found this one for cheap so I figured Id give it a try. There are side skirts that match it. However they are a nice aftermarket brand (chargespeed) and I dont feel like paying $200+ for them when I got this for $75... lol! As for the fitment It looks decent except for on the side that got busted up this winter... Not sure if that was because it was sitting on bricks or what though. The lip is capped at the ends but if I need to mod a bit to make it fit then so be it! lol

Im going to hold off on putting it on until I park the RA. Mainly because Im going to take off the front bumper and redo my drift stitches a bit better, and make sure everything lines up. I also noticed my RA lip is cracked in a few places mainly on the passenger side its split along the top of the lip so I think Im going to "repair" it by rivetting it to the bumper like I seen another guy do. Then I'll begin fitting up this new lip.

If I find knockoff side skirts it'd be cool to get those and the Varis evo diffuser for the bottom of the back. I think It'd look pretty cool lol

Looks good. Not sure how much I'm digging the zip ties but oh well. How'd you manage to crack your bumper or are they just for the sake of looking cool?

LMAO no not for the sake of looking cool. I hate it. Although I have gotten several compliments that it looks pretty cool and tough.

I was driving home from work one night and coming up a hill got bright lighted by a truck. Well when I got passed his lights apparently a bunch of crap had fell out the bed and was all over the road. I hit a dresser drawer or something... So I drilled holes and zipped it up in the middle of a white out while bundled up like an Eskimo under my car port lol I posted the full story a couple pages back when it happened. I was pissed as you can imagine.
