Anyone Know Of A Good Place That Will Make Up A Good Front Lip?

[jakez88]

hey guys have been really into finding a lip for my r32 gtst. its got the type m bar (not the AERO option bar) and would like a lip put on the bottom. nothing to drastic just someting similar to the gtr lip. i have found 1 or 2 on the yahoo auctions but prices are kinda stupid for a little piece of plastic especially now from japan with the exchange rate and all. i kind of appreciate the type m bar and even though the gtr bar is a good upgrade i'm not into the whole thing where everyone has one so i don't want to go the gtr way as heaps of people have.

now i just want to know of some places in vic (prefer western suburbs) that will make up a lip for my type m bar and leave it in a matte black or grey plastic look but the questions are:

how much do you guys think it would cost?

fibreglass or plastic? (i'd want plastic but maybe heaps more expensive?)

would the price be worth it or should i just get a gtr bar?

any help would be good!

heres a crappy photoshop i whilpped up with my car lolz

id go the gtr if thats the only option you have

[CEF11E]

i really want one of these too. i looked at a gtr lip but they are far to wide.

need something for a gtst.

can you please tell me if you find one?

[DNGRUS]

cant u mod/chop the gtr lip to fit ur gtst?

[jakez88]

u can mod it but thats gonna cost $$$$. firstly a gtr lip isn't gonna be cheap unless u find someone that doesnt know anything about them and sells it for nothing and secondly the modding will cost extra too...i reckon a whole new lip to wfit it straight away would be good.

anyone know of a place that will do it for me?>

[dezz]

Topstage maybe, but wouldn't expect it to be cheap...They mainly deal with carbon fibre as far as I know

Look up OZ GLOSS in bennetts st, Dandenong. Speak to David.

i rang nissan for one about a year ago, and for the r32gtr lip it was like 500 bucks.

if you did find a secind hand one cheap and modify it, the overall look in what your after may not be the same..

i would probably try to find a second hand gtr front bar. ( might give it a more aggressive look ), and if your lucky

you can find one that has the original lip in plastic..........

If all else fails, i know jetspeed ( in clayton) do a gtr front bar to fit a gtst but it fibreglass and its one peice.......

oh, some guy here on the forum was selling an r34 one for like 300 or something, not too long ago.

i no some guys who use garden edging as a front lip.(black or green) actually looks good...its a cheap way out of your problem. but then a bit dodgy and povo lol.

[DNGRUS]

garden edging? thats the 1st iv herd of it lol id be interested to see what that looks like

[femno]

LOL ^

Whatever you do dont go to Jetspeed in Clayton. They are the worst to deal with, the woman that does the quotes and sales is very rude and arrogant, their prices are ridiculous; theyre not worth the time of anyones day. Dont bother.

I had $280 worth of Jetspeed work done at DT Panels for $150. Maybe see if they know of anything you could use too.

If youre worried about a GTR lip being expensive and modifiying it, getting someone to make a whole new lip from scratch will be even more.

If it was me id get a hold of a GTR lip, see how it fits, chop it in half in the middle and cut a section out so its not too wide, then get it plastic welded back together and painted texture black. Not that hard or expensive compared to making one from scratch...I remember i paid 100 odd (Mates rates tho) dollars to have both my type-m skirts shortened and plastic welded to fit my GTR.

Could could even use a fibreglass lip and then get it joined, its just that its gonna crack easily when you rub against a gutter.

lol ill try find some pictures of mates car

[Italiazr1]

i put a gtr bar on my gts-t with the gtr lip. it looks good but if you wanna do whatever to the type m bar DEFINATELY go for Plastic

one small knock on a fibre glass or carbon fibre and its screwed you will have spent your cash for nothing.

it doesnt matter how carefull you drive it you will bump something so go for plastic cause it flex's and wont crack

[jakez88]

yeh gona definately go with plastic.

just need to know a good place that wil ldo it up for me good without the rip off price and i know it won't be cheap but u know..times are rough lolz.

like im surprised there isn't any locally available....heaps for hondas and the like but not even one lip for gtst's locally/nationally available.

As i mentioned in your previous thread, these are pictures of a car i was interested in buying.

I believe its called a ferion lip or somethig similar to it. Designed for the GTST and wont fit GTR

http://page3.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/c201809799

They always for sale on yahoo auctions, however they are made of fiberglass and cost a lot to bring down here.

Your best bet is to talk to a bodykit shop and see if they are interested in purchasing and making a copy. They could easily make up the cost of the lip after a couple of sales as I am also interested in it.

However id prefer plastic as its much stronger than fiberglass. One parking kerb and there goes your $400 lip...

[Rekin]

found this on one of SAU's traders. Located in dande i think.

Says he can modify for GTST, although not sure how it would look like though hehe

[jakez88]

got excited there..fibre glass

[Do-Luck]

Topstage maybe, but wouldn't expect it to be cheap...They mainly deal with carbon fibre as far as I know

Topstage +1

I bought a copy Type-X front lip for my new front bar, and it was almost a direct fit, it will require very minimal, if any, modification to fit.

They do offer some parts that are fibreglass too.

[jakez88]

alrighty i might give them a call and see how i go with a quote.
