WRX Lip Poll

I have a Silver bugeye with STi scoop and wing. I am considering buying a lip to help even out the appearance.

I have $300 in Subaru Bucks, which will work for a $330 lip from Subaruparts.com. These subaru bucks won't work on another brand's lip. I don't like giant lips like Greddy. I also like that the Subaru lip comes painted and is pretty much a perfect match.

So the question is should I blow $300some on a stock lip?

not putting you on blast specifically, but I keep hearing about all these people w/GReddy lips destroying them. Either you guys are getting GReedy's (read: knock-offs) or you need to learn how to drive & care for your cars.

I've had my GReddy lip for a little over 2 years & besides some scrapes from driveways, it's in great shape! Sure, I don't beat on my ride like Mad Max, but I've rolled through PLENTY of urban terrain in both SoCal AND the Bay Area.

How about a Sti V2 lip, a little on the spendy side but, perfect fit and very durable.

most of the ones I know that broke the lip is due to debris or even small rocks hitting the lip while driving. pretty hard to dodge some of that stuff flying at you...

Mine wasn't a knock off.


Just out of curiousity, how low is your car from the ground?
