front lip options for 2nd gen usdm gt bumper

[Tahoebk9]

Hey sorry if there is already a thread about this topic but im new to this forum and couldn't find anything on specifically what i was looking for. Was wondering if anyone has so good recommendation on some front lip/spoiler option for a 98 2.5 gt wagon. It doesn't necessarily have to be OE or even a Subaru part. Just need some ideas of some lips that will fit with minimal extra work. Right now i have a cheap 15$ ezlip on which is cool and all for how cheap it was but we all know cheap parts = cheap quality! Anyways ive heard that some sti/wrx lips will fit as well as some Honda/Acura lips any specification on lips you guys have used or seen used would help me out a lot and if you have picture as well, man id really love that!! Anything helps! thanks guys.

I picked up a "06-07 SUBARU IMPREZA WRX STI S204 FRONT BUMPER LIP" on ebay ($52.95)
haven't mounted it yet, but it does look like I have to trim it a little, for it's maybe 2 inches to long on both ends. (going on a '98 GT)
I'll go outside and snap a photo.

Here is the gap, out of the box ('06-07' GD front lip on a BD GT bumper):

you can see that I had to cut about 2" off of each side.

I'll take a pic of the bumper on the car, soon.

Rubie_25GT put on a stock lip from a 2nd gen Integra. Its not perfect but with more work with a heat gun it could turn out better.

That looks good phi11. Where did you find the bumper?

[phi11]

It's a USDM BD GT bumper, cut for hella 500 & JDM fogs. My summer bumper.
I think I have three of them.
