Bought it from Zonz540 for $400! Great buy. Looks great!? Doesn't it? Lol. Been saving up for this front lip for a couple months. Next piece to buy is the trd rear splitters! XD

had it since 2008, im glad u like it, its the nicest full lip and is OEM for our cars. btw, make sure you fasten your sides there i see it popping out. put doublesided it should help keep it in and if it doesnt use oem fastener or a self tapping screw.

Yea I was thinking about doing something like that. This is a carbon fiber btw. It's a replica. I never worked with Carbon fiber before so I'm scared I might crack it when I try to drill holes. Lol. But I'm thinking about using double sided tape.

If its carbon fiber, then it should withstand some harsher treatment wink.gif
I like this front lip so I bought one a few years ago. Then, when I had been working on the design of my Celi, I included this lip to the project.

Yea. I know but I'm just paranoid about how STURDY it is. It's like iron where it's extremely strong but not flexible. Lol. Scary thought.

it was an original oem piece (so nice strong but flexible ABS plastic) from a 1996 ss2 celica at wrecking yard, i had no idea they were worth so much ... maybe it costs hundreds just for postage??

you should be fine, not all CF products fit exactly. even my OEM ones needed a fastener. just make sure its aligned everywhere before you fasten it.

I can see why you didn't like it. I personally think the Tom's lip looks best on the 96+ post-face lift bumpers. For the GT4 bumpers and the pre-face lift, the best lip would be the RARE TRD from lip. If not that then go with the GT4 splitters. Sad to know that you threw away such a rare item.
