[s13 @ fullboost]

wayyy over priced !!

[TheRealSy90]

I like it, not far from what people sell piggy lips for either.

I say go for it and let us know lol.

[Tantwoforty]

looks pretty decent, better than a pig lip.. do it and make a nice install and review thread!

[Perfect Balance]

I just happened to buy one of these last Sunday. We'll see what it looks like when it gets here.

Xenon Air Dam knock off...right?

[frsh4]

I bought one like more then a year ago. just a heads up the shipping might be pricey. Fit really good actually and fits perfect to the already existing shape of the chuki bumper.

Only decent pic i can find.

East bear Rep not xenon

[TheRealSy90]

It says "EB Style" right in the add.

[STL240SXDRIFT]

and says EastBear on the plate in the pic...my bad.

Carry on...

[92lt1]

are there even any other lips for the chuki front? that are cheaper anyways

[aznfab213]

are there even any other lips for the chuki front? that are cheaper anywaysyou could always get a pignose lip, or if you are cheap as hell then go an get a homedepot lip

[92lt1]

i ordered it, ill do a review with pics when it gets here

[Perfect Balance]

Mine should be here tomorrow, but I don't think I'll have any time to install it.

Fits really good actually, I had to have someone push in on the vent on the pass side just so I could get enough slack on the driverside to snap it onto the end of the bumper. So tight that it made a little bit of a cracking sound going on, but once it was on, I just went around a pushed it in a bit in a few places and it fit really well and tight.

Still need to sand it and paint, ect, but yeah.

I'm giving it a few weeks at best before this thing explodes on a rock or something.

[92lt1]

sweet dude, makes me feel better about ordering mine.does it actually make the front bumper lower...thats the main reason i want one, as i cant lower my front since i have longtube headers

[Perfect Balance]

does it actually make the front bumper lower.Yes.

Yes it does.

[Socal_sil80]

I like it but I'm guessing it felt flimsy? feel pretty cheaply made? I'm debating between this and Xenon...

[Perfect Balance]

I like it but I'm guessing it felt flimsy? feel pretty cheaply made? I'm debating between this and Xenon...It's fiberglass, definitely doesn't feel too flimsy. In fact, it's standing up in my room right now on the end pieces (kinda like a rainbow) and feels pretty solid. Needs sanding and bodywork, obviously, but it seems good enough for me.

lol you scared me with this previous comment, that's cool tho. I really like how it looks but I wonder what side skirts would flow with this?

[Nizzan4u2nv]

A brand new xenon lip can be had for a little more then that. You can still get them brand new from Speed Alliance (http://www.speedalliance.com). I should know because I got one a few months back. Forgot how much exactly but it was less then 300 IIRC. Plus it will practically last forever because its poly and looks much better IMO. That fiberglass lip wouldnt even survive the trip down my driveway.

[boogerlovers]

You can get a new xenon lip from carid.com for $235 shipped.

[Socal_sil80]

Yeah from CariD or somethin like that, they basically put in orders for xenon and take about a week to get to you, You plan on matching that lip to your car Perfect Balance? and what color is your car 92lt1?

[TheRealSy90]

Thanks for actually posting a review! Most people aren't ballsy enough.

I like how it looks, and glad to hear that the fitment is good.

[Irresistible]

Actually looks really good...

PDM Racing - Bodykits (http://pdm-racing.com/products/bodykits.html)

well thats the reason i made this thread was to see the other lips out there, im new to 240's. besides that, the lip you listed is not the same. i think the ebay one is alot more clean looking without the holes everyhwere, and it was 185 shipped. thats a fair price to me

[92lt1]

my car is white, im just going to spray paint the lip white for now until i respray the whole car

damn, i might have ordered this if i knew, i still think the ebay one looks better.

[Perfect Balance]

When I said it will explode, it's because of how low it makes the front end, not because it's flimsy.

I personally don't like the xenon lip at all, so I didn't want that.


As far as paint matching, I am planning on it eventually, but I might wait until I find some chuki sides or something to go with it before I do.

[1llest13]

that looks really good.. should have kept my chuki bumper and buy this lip

[zeitgeist]

That thing would look sick in CF wrap

Nice fitment of the lip. But that rear tire there....

The ground wasn't flat. I was trying to figure out how to get onto the road and just happened to stop while it was like that.

[92lt1]

looks good man, what part of va are you in?

[curbhuggerrps13]

ahh i remember when i used to live in richmond ...

[Tantwoforty]

if i diddnt get a type x bumper, would have gotten this in a heartbeat.

[92lt1]

got the lip today, fitment was really good, in these pics its not even screwd on, its just being supported by itslef, no really big gaps or anything. Seems to be made well also, doesnt feel cheap at all.

[XiaoAZN]

Very nice. Wish I would've gotten this one instead of my xenon lip.

[Nizzan4u2nv]

Why would you want that over xenon? My xenon scrapes everytime i go in and out of the driveway. That fiberglass lip would be destroyed after the second time. Poly > fiberglass anyday.

[Yoci]

It looks nice....

[Perfect Balance]

Why would you want that over xenon? My xenon scrapes everytime i go in and out of the driveway. That fiberglass lip would be destroyed after the second time. Poly > fiberglass anyday.Agreed, polyurethane is much better than fiberglass, but IMO, a good looking fiberglass lip>a poly one that looks bad. I don't like how the Xenon lip looks at all. If that was my only option I'd just run stock bumper until I would get Type X or Aero.

Also, I haven't caught mine on anything yet, but it's obviously had it's share of scrapes already, since it makes the car sit so low, but I haven't cracked or broken it anywhere. Yet.

Probably gonna try and paint match it soon.

[Nizzan4u2nv]

Whatever floats your boat I guess hah.

I think the indentation for the airdamn and the flat/straight part that connects to the fender looks dumb but thats just me.

Haha pretty much exact opposite for me. I love the indent look.

Got mine 2 years ago. Hit stuff on the road and what not. Still in one piece

the egay lip looks better :cool:

[ThatGuy]

You do realize that this lip didn't hide the fact you're missing the Chuki Bumper extensions on your fender. If anything it accentuated it because you see the gap more.

You should have spent your money finishing the front end, instead of adding to it, in my opinion.
Just makes it look more half-assed to me, like your wheels.

Nice review thread though. I'm sure some other people will be buying these lips now that they know how they fit.

[roadboy240sx]

i love this lip. infact i think its one of the best.

[Mikey McFly]

I'm stuck between this lip and the Xenon one. I don't think I've ever seen a Chuki Xenon lip with the AbFlug flush mounted lights before. I've seen the EastBear chuki with the lights tho.

(edit)
Ive had this car for 2months and ive just finished my v8 swap, believe me, the bumper extensions are on my list, the lip was just something that arrived before the others, and for the wheels i aggree, the previous owner did the stretched tires, another thing on the list to change.

[Emeru]

it looks great man, didnt think it would fit so well.

[bing]

can one of you guys take a pic of the underside of the lip for me?

I want to see how far the bottom of the lip extends

[BOROSUN]

i got mine thru ebay too... fits like ass.

[BOROSUN]

Which eBay store you bought your lips?

[bing]

lol... that's wavy as hell..

thanks for the pics. these guys hustled my modified lip mold out the back door of our shop.

oh well, such is life. at least their quality is shit :)

[wonpoo]

got mine in a few days ago very snug fit. very snug. :)

[TheRealSy90]

Need more pictures. And one on a lower car. Only reason I haven't bought this is because I don't think there is enough room between my bumper and the street...

[s13coupe92]

yeah im kinda qurious if this thing has lasted or if its cracked to hell yet..i cant decide if i want one or not

[SilviaxDr3aMz]

Anywhere i can find the xenon lip for a better price? $300 kinda steep.

[Perfect Balance]

Not really the correct thread to ask that question, but since we're here, I just wanted to update it and say my lip is still together, although the corners have holes in the underside from scraping so much. It's still on the car though and still takes a good bit of abuse. I have yet to actually catch it on anything. It mainly just scrapes.

[DreamN]

$175 shipped for a possibly poorly fitting lip doesn't seem to tempting. Though if it were a Garage Defend copy I'd reconsider.

OP, did you ever get sides and rears to compliment the front lip? Any updated pictures?

[Perfect Balance]

I would love to be able to find a Garage Defend lip somewhere, but unfortunately I couldn't find it so I got this one.

I ended up doing the Subaru Legacy skirts on my car to make it match better, there's pics in the chuki aero thread.

[91240syes]

has anyone else bought this lip recently? and have good fitment?

[bigs]

It's a shitty rep made from shitty fiberglass. Don't buy it. That company is terrible, and their products are even worse. Don't waist your time.

[91240syes]

Yeah I was jw, I already have a xenon but I wanted to see how this one looked.

[bigs]

I ordered from that place around 3 or 4 years ago, and it showed up like this.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/xoxide/Picture710copy.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/xoxide/Picture705copy.jpg

They made me pay for another one, and gave me free shipping (stupid).

The second one arrived in once piece, but it fit like absolute shit. I had to heat it up and bend it, and it still fit like shit.

Smacked into a possum at around 30mph with the second one and it exploded. When I had my OEM lip I hit an armadillo and a rabbit, and the lip didn't get phased.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v312/xoxide/DSC00721.jpg

Yes, animals love running out in front of my car haha.

Learn from my mistakes and DON'T BUY from that place.

[91240syes]

Damn thanks for posting. Do you remember what seller it was?

[djrice123]

I bought one 2 years ago from Bings.ca

Paid $330 shipped


Fitment was ehhhhhh, it flush on the outsides and fits good but the insides is where the problems are. On the inside, the left side is flush, but right side has major gap. But oh wells, its Fiberglass so what can ya do. OEM Urethane piece FTW!!

Same seller under a different name probably. He was also located in Canada.

[91240syes]

Yeah I was talking to bing but he said he was going through some issues recently and is not in a position to ship lips or something. And after all it would be over 400$ shipped.
