well, today I finally have the time to mingle with the new ebay '06-07 Sti v lip. It's polyurethane, which makes it much easier to bend in shape and drilled thru. But still alot of drilling and bending, just to get the shape mold to the bumper. still out of places on the corners, but ok :lol:

I mess up on the part where it centers together. I accidentally cut too much materials off one side. so the other side is shorter. I'm still working on it and getting it mold into one piece. here's a teaser :eek:

and this was my previous 1st attempt at making this v lip, which was the wrong lip to begin with anyways :roll: ..I took this one off now :wink:

The first image makes it look alot longer than the second. Either way I can't wait to see.

It's more of a splitter, so it's supposed to stick out further than a regular lip.

In terms of functionality at least...

Now you just need those fancy metal support rods that go at an angle from the lip to your bumper....
