I need a new front lip and these are the leading candidates to provide an RA-Style Carbon Fiber lip.


Seibon is a little bit cheaper and it looks less dark to me which I believe matches the color of the stock carbon fiber better, but it's pretty clear after my research here that Rexpeed is more popular, plus Rexpeed explicitly states that it comes with all necessary hardware, whereas Seibon doesn't.


Looking for a little more help than I am getting here:

I'm thinking about going with an ebay urethane ra-style for $94.00 delivered since I'll likely scuff it up.

Did anyone here buy the ebay BLF-MEVO9J-PU_1382? They've sold quite a few.

Check it out... found it here on Amazon with an actual review!


"Verified Purchase
This lip comes complete with self tapping screws that you need for the installation. Fitment is perfect as long as you take your time getting the alignment right. I suggest using thin double sided tape to keep things aligned for installation.

Installation needs to be done right the first time, if you install a screw incorrectly, it will require additional work to fix the hole you created. "

have Vis Racing via LHTuning CF lip but I matched it with VR hood and trunk too. Are you matching the lip with any exterior CF bits?

I used the ikon lip on Amazon. Never used any tap but it fit really really for urethane and came with tapping screws can't beat the price.

Here's a pic I took a while back of my amazon purchased ikon lip:

I figure you didn't have any fitment issues with Seibon then? Did you go with their front lip?

Umm yeah no loss to me. Looks fine to me.
I guess thanks.

I think it looks pretty good. even better considering how rugged and inexpensive it is, it makes the car look like it can be driven, hard, the way it should be.

thanks very much for the pic!

Thanks I appreciate it! It made more sense to me considering the part was going to be abused on the car. I didn't want to spend $300-400 on a lip like Seibon and Rexspeed when its going to break or get damaged 6 months to a 1 year down the road.

I have had the Rexpeed for a few years and I bottom it out all the time. The side has a small crack other than that it is still rock solid. I rolled into a parking curb when I was hangover and I put a crack right in the front of it. But really all that rolling mass and it barley made a mark. I go Rexpeed with all my carbon stuff. seams to all fit well.
