Default New Front Lip

Well, I destroyed my front lip thanks to road construction, so I am looking for a new one. I wanted to get some fellow JDM whore's input. So far, I am leaning towards the Cwest front lip (as far as I know, no one has it) but damn its hard to get. I've PM'd both BP and AJ Power. Both have said they'd check into it and I haven't heard back. I'm looking for something either rare (so I'll wait) or looks good and available soon. Suggestions? Here's my set-up...
Silverstone with...
Mugen SS
Garage Defend sides
GP sport rears

Good luck on the Cwest llip. I tried ordering the lip a while back through BP, but at the time Motorex was going bankrupt so it didn't happen. I waited over 6months, but thankfully BP gave me a refund.

I had heard a story about that, but didnt know who the unlucky guy was. I believe they said that C-West wont be up til late Summer or later. I wouldnt order the lip until there is a C-West USA. My $.02

What about the Kawagen lip that Spankee used to run. If im not mistaken, he still has it sitting around. I also believe it is the only one or one of a few in the US.

If you like DIY installations, the Mugen SS bumper is a fun install. Only requires drilling 2 extra holes into the car. It utilizes many extra holes on the car as if the car was designed for this bumper. Comes with undertray. It'll go with your SS rear wing cost $1890

How about something JDM and rare: ASM front bumper $1380?

If you hate the smiley-face bumpers, how about
Amuse R1 front bumper $1082
Ings+1 $980
J's Racing Type S $1080

Either Amuse front bumper or go with the AP2 bumper and Mugen lip

If those dont work...hmm OEM lip or CF OEM lip.

C-West USA is run by C-West Japan. I'm in contact with the President of C-West USA. They have not opened up yet and they dont have an official date for their opening yet. However, when they do open they'll have a lot of inventory in stock, which is great news for all of us.

I like the C-West, I would wait... it would look great on your car with everything else your running... Or, you could go OEM and get a modulo badge and the Garage Defend StingRay canards... those look pretty cool and functional to me...
