Well a friend can hook me up with a new CF front lip for $120, pretty cheap huh?? Its the OEM style CF. What do you guys think will it look good or bad on my ride?? I will eventually try to get the other parts of the CF OEM Lip Kit.

Here is some updated pics of my ride. Now its lowered

 

If it would be the only CF you have, I'd say skip it. But then I'm not a fan of just adding something to add CF. Even if it is CF, you're still adding extra weight. Not to mention your car is getting along just fine without right now.

 

i say CF. i had a big accident and couldnt stop fast enough the car crack my cf lip in half but barely did any damage to my bumper. everyone was unharmed but it was a big impact where the other car rear axle bent all the way

 

I agree with Ack..plus you have an awesome color to work with. I say keep it clean..get that rear bumper fixed, place the cover back onto your front bumper, get better rims, lower your ride, and yea you will be set from there.

 

Yeah that would be the only thing with carbon fiber. Although im getting a pair of smoked TYCs, maybe that could complement it??

Also Domo my rear bumper is fixed and I got the cover on the front bumper on, I was just without it cause they were color matching it for my new rear bumper. Oh yeah im debating on lowering it prob TRD springs and im happy with my rims

 

anyway your friend can hook me up with the lip ;) lol also where did you get the yellow bulbs in the headlights, ive been looking for them in blue but i cant find them =(, but yea your car looks good without the lip

 

take that money u are thinking about using for the lip and using it for springs. IMO CF lips just mess up the flow of the car. They look out of place to me. I had a CF hood on my tC when I had it and I would still not even get a CF lip. It just looks tacky. Throw some S-techs on there and your set. Dont even waste your money with trd's. You can barely tell that your car is lowered. I started out with trd's b/c I didnt want to go to low, I just wanted to improve the stance a little bit. From day 1 at installation and after they settled I could barely tell it lowered at all and I was not happy at all. My friend instlled some stechs on his car, and before I saw them I figured it would be slammed b/c of what everyone says about them on here. When I saw them I fell in love. It is the perfect drop for the tC. I shortly after that installed stechs on my car and loved them. I ran stechs with 18x7.5 inch wheels with 225/40's and never had a problem with rubbing at all. It rode great and was responsive on the road. With 18's it puts the top of your tire right at the fender with basically no gap.

Heres some examples and the comparison b/w trds and s-techs. I hope this helps.

TRD's

 

I don't think it'll look good on a stock height tC, but maybe that's just me. The lip will draw even more attention to your wheel gap.

 

Nay on the cf, color matched yes.

 

lower it first

 

bro hook me up with the lip for 120 or u could buy it from him and sell it they go for 150 plus if in nice condition my buddy sold his for 190

 

Ok updated thread still thikning about it. I got updated pics of my ride now shes lowered on TRD springs. Also is not the RS1 front CF lip, its the OEM GFX CF front lip.

Here is the ebay listing of it: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Scion...Q5fAccessories

Im local and know the guy who works there so he can hook me up

 

i think the cf oem lip is pure sex. But i would disagree on buying it unless u get the full kit.

 

Dont have monies for the full kit but I would be getting the other pieces later on. I do like the OEM lip in CF. RS1 doesnt convince me.

 

x2

 

cf will crack once u touch a curb or something. go with some other lip kit or splitter
