Thread: How To: DIY STi Urethane Front Lip installed on MPS

  1. #41

    Default

    If i were doing the BL i would go for a later model STI lip, like an 08,09,10 - because it has a much bigger center section which would fill that gap better.

    The 06-08 works perfect on the MPS with some trimming - as demonstrated on my car - and now on premHK's car....

    @SMOKEY so did you put that lip on yours? cause i've been wanting a carbon front lip for a while

    Nope. Mine was the urethane for 2006 sti.

    Carbon won't work because you need to bend it to fit the MPS shape. Link was just for reference to the shape I think would better suit BL models.

    Hey mate where did u get this front lip? I have called about 4-5 places and no deal. The best I got was " we have a front bar but won't seperate the lip"

    Thanks alot man, have made a new post in the new members area... But i'll throw some shots in later when i give the car a good clean as Melbourne weather has been unstable as per normal lol.

    But where can i get a hold of a lip to fit MPS3? I'm also after the inner bonnet bulge stripes... anyone sell them here?

    No worries, you can get an STi Lip from ebay, at the time my particular lip (which off memory was an 04 Subaru WRX fit) was about $110 landed, the Lip itself was about $40, the rest was shipping. Still a dirt cheap mod for the amount of interest behind it. Just to be clear the lip isn't a direct fit. You'll have to modify it to fit cause it's a different car. Here's a link to a how-to I've prepared for members like yourself

    DIY sti urethane front lip
    @leisk also has a cool front lip but not sure what type or where he got it from, perhaps ask if you that that style. Bonnet bulge stripes are a tricky one to answer. Most of us use a place but they're proving hard to contact of late so maybe try ebay or find a custom place that will laser cut to suit
