oh wow real nice. Some people are going to be real happy.

[low_psi]

is that a modified autoexe style lip? looks good!

[DE31]

its like an auto exe lip for the sedan. pretty nice. cant wait to see it painted and on a lowered car.

[desy]

yup, iits an AE lip, molded to fit sedan, then tweaked to look a lil different

[joka1]

if i still has my es front i would buy it in a second but their was not enough airflow in that front lip so i went to the msp....... good luck with the sales

[SubXer0]

how much? i'll take one!

[RallyeRedSi]

all i saw was red x's on that page

[vindication]

nice. I still have my original bumper. I can get this and take off my WW bumper for the winter so it wont get soo beat by the rocks/salt and use my oem with this lip. How much will it be, and how much lower does it make the bumper?

[desy]

price is around $200 CAD, wont be available for like another month atleast

as for how low it goes, its around th same as the original AE lip....measured, its APPROXIMATELY 43cm from the top of the fender part on the bumper to the bottom of the lip (looking at the whole thing from the side).

[SubXer0]

200 cad= how much us? i can't remember

[nautical2086]

That is just simply Awesome!!! Ive waiting forever, as im sure all of us 99-00 protege owners did as well, for A lip to come out finally!!!. Tell me it is not fiberglass please?????

[nautical2086]

o wait, NVM thats for the stupid 01+ which seems to be the only model compaines care about

[anarchistchiken]

Looks very nice. The flared out bottoms might be a little much, but great job overall.

[SubXer0]

o wait, NVM thats for the stupid 01+ which seems to be the only model compaines care about

i'd imagine you could make it fit you would just have to trim the top part but i'd think it would fit width has to be basically the same as the 01+ that and the bottom half of the bumpers aren't really alot differen't

btw is there a set date as to when we could order this? or are you going to do like a group buy? because i will definatley be buying one of these, i just need to know when and who to send the money to:D
peace
dante

[nautical2086]

Yeah, from pictures I dont really see much of a difference on the bottom of the bumpers between the 99-00 and the 01up.

[SubXer0]

/\right, i would think all you'd need to do is trim the areas on the top of the lip where it wraps into the grill of the bumper then again maybe it match up i can't really remember how the grill of the 99-00's is
peace
dante

[SubXer0]

yeah i just looked at your cardomain site from the pics i think you could get away with it, your bumper looks like a more "molded" version of mine the shape is almost identical
peace
dante

[nautical2086]

Yeah I think so too, Please tell me this lip isnt fiberglass!!!!!!!

[nautical2086]

Whats the info on how to order this,? will be it up on a website or whatnot?

[desy]

ok, well everything is in china rite now, i guess we should start a group interest list? so the company will know how many to send out to north america. and this should be done like.......within the week, cuz its being put to mass production very soon.

as for how u can get it, im way to busy to organize things myself, so ill direct you to the company who is making it, and you guys could deal with them directly:
www.rocketz.net (located in vancouver, bc, canada)

list of people willing to buy:
1) desy
2) gibbie

[anarchistchiken]

Made in China, huh? Mmmmk

[nautical2086]

Add me to that list of people willling to buy

[99 Pro]

If this fits the 99/00 Protege, I'd be down with buying it.

[SubXer0]

list of people willing to buy:
1) desy
2) gibbie

[SubXer0]

sent an email to the company, just waiting to hear back from them with buying info, also sent them the list we have so far of interested people,
and i asked if the lips are interchangeable with the 99-00's or if they are considering making one for you 99-00 guys, will post info as soon as i hear back from them
peace
dante

[nautical2086]

That would be cool

[nautical2086]

Thanx, Do you know if its fiberglasss or not?

[Doodsmack]

wow that looks nice. can't wait to see pics of it on a car. might still have to go with the factory lip, though...it's a little more subtle.

[SubXer0]

Thanx, Do you know if its fiberglasss or not?
not yet i'm still waiting to hear back from them

[nautical2086]

If they dont know yet, Tell them, NO FIBERGLASS!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

[DiS]

w3rd, fiberglass exterior sux for daily driven car. Now if that would be urethane, then its a different story.

[desy]

ill give the guy a call tomorrow for ur questions!

as for it being made in china....well the prototype was actualli made here in vancouver, then it was shipped to china for final modifications and mass production (cuz its a lot cheaper there to do), and then its goin to be sent bak here

[DiS]

what is the material that it is made of?

[justanotheradikt]

damn i might replace my factory lip with that one...if only i could sell my factory lip

[Leppy]

i'm pretty sure someone'll buy it, considering your car convinced at least 2 people with black sedans to get lips...

[justanotheradikt]

haha true....guess i need to find out how much it would be to paint this lip...

[SubXer0]

^ *rattlecan* lol

[justanotheradikt]

nah...not into the spray paint...i work for sherwin williams auto paint so i can get it VERY cheep....just need to see how much exactly and if i can borrow my friends spray rig

[FunkyBuddha]

[SubXer0]

nah...not into the spray paint...i work for sherwin williams auto paint so i can get it VERY cheep....just need to see how much exactly and if i can borrow my friends spray rig

[DiS]

[Mr. Win]

that it sucks... was what i was asking.

[justanotheradikt]

i wanna see this lip on a car...see how it flows with everything but i might even be up for my car being a test dummy if he needs another one

[anarchistchiken]

that it sucks... was what i was asking.

It breaks if you hit something, as opposed to bending out of the way like urethane.

[Mr. Win]

true... you do have to learn how to drive. I had fiberglass forever and didnt break it till i was on the highway and had de-tread happen with no where to go. That tread hit hard enough i dont think anything would have held up.

Well fiberglass sucks, Its not flexible, it chips, cracks, and just breaks too easily. I know, I have a fiberglass front bumper.

[nautical2086]

Well see in NJ it dosnt matter how great of a driver you are, Aound here you dont know where the random ass potholes are in unfamiliar territory. I live right next to trenton and travel though there enough to hate having my car lowered and fiberglass front bumper, lol

[DiS]

speaking of Trenton, thats a really fucked up place to drive through (especially downtown)....pot holes are just enormous there. I hate it! even though ive been there only once with my car, heh. I bet CustomMSP hates it more than I do

[nate0123]

yay more parts for sedan!

I'm interested to see it painted and installed on a car

(cool)

thread jack: whats the mazda lip made out of?

[DiS]

thread jack: whats the mazda lip made out of?

looks like fiberglass.............(deadhorse

[nautical2086]

yeah, trenton roads are the reason why i hate fiberglass, lol

[justanotheradikt]

no the mazda factory lip is not fiberglass, it flexes too much to be fiberglass

edit: roads here in new orleans have to be worse than trenton....i couldnt even think of worse than here

[DiS]

wasnt talking about optional OEM sedan lip....I know its urethane. I was talking about this new one.

[justanotheradikt]

i was talking to chaosprotege...but if he ment this one and not the oem one then i just misunderstood.

[DiS]

(thumb)

[Hedges]

Our toprotege list better come first before this list! Because i've called dibs on this crap half a year ago and still waiting lol!

[Familia323]

they made an OEM part out of urethane!? Why didnt they use ABS plastic?

[justanotheradikt]

it could be abs plastic....all i said is its not fiberglass....not sure what it is (other than fiberglass) since i have not had the two side by side to compare them

[DiS]

OEM optional lips and skirts are urethane

[Familia323]

^ uhh... I dont agree with that. My sideskirts say ABS plastic on them. I thought urethane was that black colored crap that is more like rubber than fiberglass?

[DiS]

^ uhh... I dont agree with that. My sideskirts say ABS plastic on them. I thought urethane was that black colored crap that is more like rubber than fiberglass?

oops sorry yea my bad mang. Silly me, saying one thing and thinking another, blah, my bad!!

[Familia323]

no worries.

[justanotheradikt]

so how bad is fiberglass? like any hit and it breaks or what?

[Familia323]

(dunno) I don't have any personal experiences with it on my car.

[DiS]

so how bad is fiberglass? like any hit and it breaks or what?

pretty much.....deppending on how many clear coat layers you have.......

[justanotheradikt]

would clear be the ONLY thing i could do to help it not crack on me?

[nautical2086]

the fiberglass sucks, it chips if u scrape too much, will break if u tap something, just simply isnt bendable at all. Once you hit 1 nasty pot hole that thing will just break the fuck off.

[BlueWolfCry]

i didn't read through the whole thread, but will they be making both fg and urethane?

[justanotheradikt]

from what i understand only fiberglass.....wish it could be made of something else

[DiS]

from what i understand only fiberglass.....wish it could be made of something else

same here.....although I STILL prefer OEM optional sedan lip versus this new one.

OEM one looks slick and makes car evil in a calm way.....where this new one is right outta blue has a "bitch ill eat ya alive!" violent look, hehe. Not my style though.

[Hughes412]

So is this new lip ONE peace that fits on the factory bumper or do we have to buy the oem lip and put this on it? The picture looks like it's in two peaces.

Oh and if this comes out, I'll buy your OEM lip!!!!

I dont think you need oem lip in order to fit this fiberglass one on.........plus I already have 1st dibs on justanotheradik's oem lip if he decides to sell it. (thumb)

[justanotheradikt]

[DiS]

dont tell me, tell Hughes412 vbmenu_register("postmenu_1841890", true); Hughes412 (thumb)

what in the hell?!!?! How the hell did that thing get in my post!!?!?!! Bleh! hold let me edit my post....

I think the reason why that shit popped up in my comment is because i copied his name from the menu on the right...... but then deleted as it copied as a link to his profile, how the hell did that shit appear I dunno

[Hughes412]

HAHA good, I'm not a geek but I do ok. That was throwing me off big time. lol

HAHA good, I'm not a geek but I do ok. That was throwing me off big time. lol

dude (rofl)!!!!
I didnt see that message until like 20 minutes ago when I checked this thread, lol. Definetly weird hahah

[nautical2086]

So no possible way this thing will be made from abs plastic or urethane?

[Simpletons101]

is there anyway anyone can repost the pic for this new lip? I still cant find it...
Thanks,
Dan

[SubXer0]

I dont get it, it still doesnt load on my computer maybe it's cause i have a mac or something... i guess i could just go on my pc and check it out

[SubXer0]

^ yeah that's prob it

[DiS]

my opinion only here. lip is fiberglass which is crap.....I got fiberglass custom pocket for my wbo2 inside the car, and that thing cracked a bit from all the bumps and pot holes........not even speaking how this lip would crack from rocks and shit......thats only my opinion.

[SubXer0]

^ agreed....i know how to fix fiberglass only reason why i'm not trippin about it, but its def something you might want to consider before buying

[justanotheradikt]

yea but i dont feel like fixing it and repairing it every time a damn rock hits it

[nautical2086]

Yeah thats why next year ill be posting up my current bumper for sale, I live in nj, nuff said, Im going to get the sport 20 bumper shave off the middle lines, and get the lip, then potholes and rocks can kiss my ass, lol

[99 Pro]

kewl man. Lets see some pix!

[desy]

here are a few pix

[desy]

heres more

[kickniteasy]

wow, for a lip kit that's pretty damn hot

[DiS]

I like the sides and rear. The only thing that I dont like about the front is that there is a gap in the middle. If it would be a somewhat one solid level, it would be better. Other than that it looks good.

[vindication]

nice, so how much is that front lip? I might get it to put on mu OEM bumper cover to save my WW one from the harsh winter months

[nautical2086]

I like those lips, both are fiberglass? what are the prices?

[joka1]

looks good, better then any other option out their for the es front end!!

[desy]

yes, its fibreglass unfortunately...

$195CDN, oooor if you guys do group by 10 or more its a lil cheaper

http://www.rocketz.net

located in vancouver, bc, canada

[joka1]

damn if i was gonna be around i would be ur US hookup.........ship the lips from my house so their is no duty's.......... but i will be gone
