8 Lip Options

My ebay lip was cracked in half today, yes unfortunate. But I was curious what options there are for the 8 bumper? I kind of want a CF one but not a super expensive one that can get cracked again.. Or if not CF maybe a white one? Ideas?

Had that happen to me in Italy; ran into a deep (and I mean deep) pothole right by Volcano Buono Shopping Mall near Nola.

I'd say either go with the varis style or the Greddy lip. Do-luck is boring and played out.

Not really a fan of the Greddy, unless I was looking at the wrong one. Varis is a strong possibility.

I'm not a big fan of Greddy or Varis. I prefer a stock-looking front lip (Do-Luck). You can find some cheap Do-Luck replicas on ebay. I've heard some problems with fitments on those though.

I would just prefer no lip honestly, but this bumper.... ugh.

Well I'm getting a quote for a cf one from a vendor on here, if I buy I'll get a pic up..

My newest car came with a urethane lip, the one with the big pointy corners. I couldn't stand it and took it off. I'm going no-lip right now until I find something better. Might just throw some U channel over the mounting area to finish it up.
I wish there was a plain, small, smooth lip with no canard looking junk or weird jutting out, curves etc. Not everything needs to be in your face

While there are a good number of lips out there for the 8, the Seibon Do-Luck will definitely be the highest quality and best fitment option out there. We have always had a fantastic relationship with Seibon and their quality is apparent in every part I've seen from them.

Regarding being a little played out, I do somewhat agree; it's hard to beat something that looks like it belongs on your car from the factory and, if you weren't in the Evo scene, you would have to ask whether or not it was stock.
