That looks like the Xenon lip that was offered by Nissan Motorsports (not NISMO I don't think) for a while.

[NeedCAforS13]

I have a nissan motorsports lip (made by xenon) got the last two in Nissan NA's inventory... 4 years ago! haha bitches. thing was cheap back then too. paid $175 for mine. Sold my second one 2 years ago for $250. try finding a xenon retailer, they might have one in stock, but these things are rare as hell. Never seen another one in person, and only seen about 4 in pictures.

[hi.im.kaji]

that lip is badass.....anybody have a pic of it painted?

[Bushido]

supposedly theres a guy on this forum thats going to be making fiberglass copies soon. he already made a fg lip for the kouki s14 and it looks like good quality... we'll have to see what happens.

[silviaz]

fiberglass...... damn this thing won't last

[TougeRacing]

thats squalsme car, its a xenon lip.

[FaLKoN240]

This is like the THOUSANDTH time I've seen this kinda thread on Zilvia. It's been gone over like. . .a billion times.

Then NeedCA18 comes in and says "Looky what I got." Then some idiot will ask him, "Can we use yours to make a fiberglass mold?"

Then he will respond "No, because it will ruin it."

Lock this shit.

[squalsme]

hey! thats my car. and yes, thats a xenon lip. its hard to find, but i think someone from vtuned is trying to replicate it. check out www.norcal240.com they have info on it somewhere. auto RnD is suppose to replicate it too, but i think they got too lazy.

quit yer bitchin. ;)

[bing]

i called Xenon directly a few years back, they still have the mold and will make it for you but it will be like $275 USD plus a llong ass wait period.

get a bunch of dudes together and do a buy. its simple as that,

if the lip were Fibreglass it would be ghey, the only thing that makes it cool is that it is urethane. it isnt like it actually looks good or anything, it looks like the home depot $hit people make for their S13's.

[nissantuner22]

must..have...this lip.

[180sxdrifter]

someone should work with a groupbuy

I'm in! :yum:

what's up with the fitment? lip looks good, but fitment seems to look like ass.?

[BaliLover]

The Xenon lip is NO longer available. I called (within the past 6 months) every Xenon dealer I could find, and Xenon themselves, and after being sent a lip for a pignose and shipping it back, was informed that they no longer had the mold to make them for the chuki bumper, that it had been destroyed, and that they had no plans to make them again. I ate a $40 restocking fee to find that out. ON a side note, you can still get the urethane sideskirts from Xenon if you want, just no Chuki front lip.

[240SeXy!]

If someone where to make a new mold or copy one ^ , damn I could see some money making in the future... hahahah :hsdance: :hammer:

[91CRXsiR]

i also have the pignose lip... i wonder if i could cut it and turn into the chuki version.. hmmmm

[SRkouki]

http://nissaninfiniticlub.net/photopost/data/500/4134painted_lip.jpg
daaaamn that lip really does wonders for that bumper.

[NeedCAforS13]

YellwMonky, fitament is awesome, I just don't have much holding mine on... 2 bolts and 2 zipties, so there's nothing holding the sides to the bumper so it kinda sags out. It hits everything, so I didn't really want it firmly attached. It used to be double sided taped to the side pieces on my bumper, but it broke the bumper pieces off. After that I never reattached it.

actually, that is a really nice looking lip. nice and subtle. no gay flares or retarded looking holes in it. i like it. its a nice tasteful mod unlike many of the other lips and front bumpers.

[180sxdrifter]

i also have the pignose lip... i wonder if i could cut it and turn into the chuki version.. hmmmm


mines pretty flush dont ya think

:squintd:

[FaLKoN240]

Did you cut that? How did you do it? Any pics, or a write up? I have a zenki lip in my garage. But if I can make it look like that, I may keep it.

[SoSideways]

Why must zenki lip droop down in the front while going up on the sides like that? Makes the whole front look droopy from the side... argh...

Other than that, looks hawt from front.

[sw20>>s14]

yeah...S14.5 on here, or S14.5 [V-Tun'd] on norcal240sx.net, or virgil to normal people could probably replicate it pretty well...if you guys let him know, he'll probably look into it...hes always lookin for ideas...he could serve all you xenon horny fellers up...dont expect anytime soon though because he just started up...

[SoSideways]

Is that a copy of the Veilside lip? Or Bomex?

Holy crap I need to sleep, can't think...

[dvdevo]

looks liek the veilside lip, not sure. Looks nice though.

Yep, this is true.

The lip is going to be released this saturday at a meet. I'll post up pics here when I get them..

yeah...S14.5 on here, or S14.5 [V-Tun'd] on norcal240sx.net, or virgil to normal people could probably replicate it pretty well...if you guys let him know, he'll probably look into it...hes always lookin for ideas...he could serve all you xenon horny fellers up...dont expect anytime soon though because he just started up...

Yeah, the lip is gonna look awesome. It's only available to norcal240sx.net members at the time. I'm not sure if he'll be shipping eigher.

[dudocius]

i found one at the junkyard, 10 bucks is what i paid for it. I cleaned it and man that thing is hot.

[bing]

i've already made like 20 of those veilside lips

lip on my car VVV

http://www.bings.ca/store/images/product/aero_1.jpg

i have a whole bunch at my place now if anyone wants them...lol... i keep an inventory because i've broken a few already beyond repair...lol

[jjwilks240]

bing's are great lips. it took a summer beating, and i mean a big beating. before i destroyed it. i ran it over, put it into ditches, wheel fell off on the highway and it slid on it for 50meters, popped off on the track countless times.
bings versions are strong as fuck!

What did you make them out of? FRP? And how much would you sell the lips for?

[bing]

well the problem is shipping.

i have to make a nice big box for it and every quote that i have obtained thus far is $100 usd to ship it, which is pure buttsex... like boy on boy, not the happy boy on girl kind.

and that is a bargain considering the box itself is not cheap.

Thats what I figured, shipping would be a pita, or I would buy one on the spot. Maybe when I get some more cash. They look really nice.:bigok:

eidt: This new in post editing feature is sweet!!!

[bing]

i dont make them personally, i have them made.

they are hand-laid fibreglass, and they take abouta full day to make because they cure in the mold over night.

here is a short and crappy video showing the flexibility:

http://bings.ca/videos/MOV01791-1.wmv

of course that was the first lip so it was a little better, if you try that with the other ones you'll hear some glass splitting, but you probably should anyways.

as for fitment, if you have two people it taks all of 10 seconds, as shown here:

http://bings.ca/videos/bings%20lip%20install-1.wmv

jesse ran his for 7 months or so without a single ziptie or screw. it flew off his car mid-drift at 60kph and survived unscathed, but that doesnt mean it will do the same for you.. man i wish i had the camera rolling for that... it was crazy

[KwKouki]

Bing the fitment video is fucking incredible! Man I wanted one when I still had my coupe.

[srpwrd]

I had bings lip as well. I couldn't be more happy with it, but I just ripped it off a couple of weeks ago.. lowered 240's with lips don't like going off roading.

I would recomend his lip to anyone. fitment is excellent, quality of material is excellent, and it's the best looking s13 lip to date, imo. I can't understand why veilside stoped producing them. :wtf:

[i8yourfwd]

I finally got a hold of Virgil from V-tun'd who was making lips for my site. I'll get some pictures when I get a lip from him.

[bing]

apparently they didnt, but they dont stock it.

its the same case as with most of the geniune stuff.

its marginally better, maybe, but you have to pay more and wait 4 times longer to get it.

enter the knock off.

[bing]

i'll also be the first to say that the Veilside lip was good, it fit even tight than the one i make.

it also had an extra lip underneath the mouth for support.

it wasnt as flexible, it was stiffer which is probably better for fitment but worse for contact.

[WDS13]

oh damn! i want one of bing's lips!

[dudocius]

i am also thinking on making my own, i might start selling them local only. My Girls dad is a Fiberglass engineer and he builds boats he will provide me with the supplies at the same price he pays for them. I will let you guys know how it goes.

[FaLKoN240]

i found one at the junkyard, 10 bucks is what i paid for it. I cleaned it and man that thing is hot.

I need to start searching the yards again.

[SoSideways]

I found a pretty beat up looking zenki lip yesterday, but running that lip pretty much prevents your car from driven anywhere when you're slammed (my car is not slammed at the moment, but it will be soon), so I left it there at the yard.

WHY would you leave it? Man you coulda probably got it for $20 and sold it for $75 and mad a quick buck. Man if I ever find another I'm stantchin it up. I'd stockpile those badboys if I could.

[quach]

hey bing, i really like that lip, do you have any available to sell? and how much do you sell them for? im from the bay area so i can pick up if youre within an hour or so drive.

[i8yourfwd]

Canada is a little more than an hour drive ;)

Because I went to the yard for a door handle, and it looked like it could start pouring the rain any second, and the nuts were hard as hell to take off on the friggin lip.

I was hurrying so much that I forgot to snatch the power door lock solenoid from the passenger door. That should tell you something.

[bing]

yeah man,

i have 3 sitting here right now.

but shipping is expensive, if you are ready to take it on i can ship anytime.

[quach]

haha oops, for some reason i thought you were in the bay. sorry about that. i probably shouldnt be spending so much money on my car these days anyways, so i'll pass for now. that's a great looking lip though!

[SoSideways]

Oh, I wanted to ask this before but had forgotten until one of the random posts above reminded me.

Do you have to trim the lip any for a FMIC? I had to trim quite a bit out of the stock bumper to get the FMIC on there, so... yeah....

[originalsin]

heres a diff one http://www.bings.ca/store/images/product/aero_1.jpg

http://www.bings.ca/?page=products&pageNum=2&search=

[bing]

yes, i have an HKS type S fmic and i had a Greddy VSPL on my old coupe, both times the lip needed to be trimmed about an inch or so.

the amount by which you have to trim will depend on your particular IC though.

its not a big deal to trim

[bing]

ack...

originalsin, u r teh slow, stick to nyspeed...lol

[chrisngo]

I hope I haven't resurrected a "dead" thread.

I have three of these lips in my warehouse. It has all the hardware taped to it too.

*that would be the lip from post #1 on page 1 of this thread.

Yeah I hate dead stock.

Yes we are against knockoffs. The Nissan Motorsports lip apparently is an original design.

I will sell knock off's, don't get me wrong, but the customer MUST demand it. I will never recommend it.

In an industry that's as volatile as the aftermarket auto industry...you gotta make your money where you can. I know you can agree with that.

Chris

[DeBastaard]

Howmuch for one of these incl. shipping towards the netherlands?

And howmuch if I could convice some dutch SX owners of buying one as well?

[S14DB]

You have, to sell stuff. Not good.
