No worries man. Sorry it got messed up. Im getting a student loan to pay for this clutch, so ill probably end up using some of it to get a new lip as well and possibly get my bumper repainted if it can be salvaged.

And before people start flaming me on this it was my Dad's idea. I wont be taking out more than 10k for my entire school career. Just dont want people think im doing something irresponsible .

I am currently running the seibon lip and it has held up fairly well. Fitment is good but it did need to be drilled out to fit the stock bumper but it wasn't a big deal. I will be taking it off for the winter though. Be careful if you decide to get a lip and run it through the winter, it may not hold up very long.

Ewww... that sucks. Thats what i was thinking of going with is an Ebay lip. Any suggestions on what to do then? Try to find a stock lip or go with aftermarket? I will be driving it in the winter with regular trips up to Mt. Rose for boarding!

Ive got Swifts and they are stiff for a spring. Im not hitting speed bumps and such as much as i was on my old S. techs. I may actually try an Ebay lip (did you get yours from Street Racing Life on ebay? The reason i ask is i was just reading a thread on it and they had nothing, but good things to say.

YES!!! i got it from them....i gave them a negative comment at first and the guy called me and asked that i take it off....like i said....it dont FIT like the way they advertise., also they say the whole thing is CF but its NOT...only the front is., the rest is just fiberglass....but still the lip is very good looking piece., if you want u come to fallon and see what i mean before u buy it., the guy swore that it would fit.....maybe.....we can try and install it on your car if u want.....for me i like the front splitter better., so i stopped trying to make it fit.

I just checked out the splitter and i like it, but id still need to replace my lip 1st. I may just have to buy an expensive one or find a stock one... . I was hoping to find a cheaper alternative. Could you email me pics of your lip. Like what happened to it? Also, im not doubting you, but maybe you did get a bad one cause they were giving it fairly good reviews saying only minor triming or drilling was needed.

That sucks. It's scary how it only takes a split second to turn a fun run into a potentially fatal accident.
