Hey guys, im looking for a front lip for my ix... i have been doing a lot of searching thru here and tons of websites, but nothing i like, or rather nothing i like for the price ... anyhow, i wanna know if any of you guys have found vendors with good deals on these and/or know where to find them, and which ones are fitting better then others. i know some of you have them already... thanks in advance for your help...

 

i got mine from http://www.streetconcept.com/index.son it doesnt fit exactly perfect but no on notices but me. it was only 475 shipped so it not fitting perfect was worth savin 500 on the ralliart one. here some pics...

 

speedelement has ralliart lip for $775 shipped

 

Its not CF but my favorite lip for the IX by far is the SSL factory lip. and im pretty sure its under 300$ as well

 

thanks alot for the pics and the link... it is down to 375 now lol..... that is definitely a possibility... i saw this one and then read about the fitment... a little reluctant, can you post pics showing the area where its fitting a little rough, or email them to me... jsnrchtr@aol.com other than, looks nice, ive got plans for it though... im going to paint mine WW to match the car and leave an EVOLUTION showing in carbon fiber up front... should look hot...

please guys, keep posting what you can, thanks again

 

SSL ? are you referring to the 9.5 that was just released ? i just cant see paying for them to just add some fake vent holes on the side.... thats really the only difference

 

bump...anyone else got anything ?

 

Actually you are wrong, It sits about an inch lower and it has those fake vent holes to divert air out the sides of the actual air damn itself. So No, that is not really the only difference...

 

how does fake vent holes on the outsides of the bumper divert air out of the air damn itself which are more toward the center bumper area ? maybe im confused as to what fake parts you are talking about or vice versa... and as for the it sits an inch lower... if it is any lower which you cant tell by looking, its closer to .25 to .50 at most. ... still, thanks for your input... i just dont think that lip is worth the extra money

 

one more bump fellas..and ladies

 

dont feel like taking more pics but if it doesnt fit exactly an ur going to paint it anyways, you can do a litle body work wit some bondo or whatever to get it to fit exactly perfect. on the each far side of the peicew closest to the fenders it doesnt sit exactly up against the bumper, it sticks out a few MM or so, no big deal. there is a thread some where shopwing this with pics...SEARCH

 

morning bump for everyone sitting at work like i am with nothing to do... thanks again for the help

 

lol...thats me...so heres a bump as well.

caelin~

 

Ralliart CF is def the best lip for the IX. Its worth the money if you can afford it.
I would buy it if nyc didn't have so many pot holes.

 

I have the APR cf front lip on my ix and couldn't be happier.
It was extremely easy to install and no fitment issue what so ever.
Although I think it is a little more than what u wanted to spend.
I also think the new varis one looks kinda nice (prob even more $$$).

Btw, I measured it and APR lip sits only 1/2" lower to the ground vs the stock lip (not SE one).
