The BPA lip is actually a copy of the Jet's Japan lip... though from what I've heard the Jets lip doesn't have great fitament...

 

That lip was from back in 99. It was a project for my own car and I decided to make a limited production run. I had never planned on selling a lot of them and I have no interest in bringing them back regardless of how much money could be made in doing so.

At the time I had imported a Jets lip for myself. The quality was horrible and besides the poor fit, I was worried that I was going to destroy it (which ended up happening). So I built one that fit better and was built stronger for my own car. I sold 15 or so to finance the project and help launch Bulletproof. It was successful in both respects, but I have no interest in doing it again.

1999-2000 it was a different time. It was nearly impossible to get the original Jets parts and I felt that I was doing a service to the S2000 community to bring that design and better quality to the US. Today, there are importers that can offer you the original part and I see no need to make a copy, even if it happened to be an improved copy in that circumstance.

So, I believe that jets might still make the original part. While I dont import Jets, I'd imaigne that others could probably get it for you. Hopefully they've improved their production quality over the past few years.

Best of luck.

 

I wonder how many of those 15 are still around. A buddy of mine snapped his in half about 2 months ago while driving in LA.

 

One of them is for sale right now....











it's attached to cjb80's car....

 

yeah, they hang low and they're prone to cracking because of how low they sit. I built them pretty thick, but with a lowered car it's inevitable that they will crack eventually. I hit a SEMI tire head on doing about 85 on the freeway and that was the end of my lip.
