PM Wormiez. He used to sell them, and may still have a few left.

If you go with wormiez replica feed lip, make sure that the new shop he is using is making the lip much thicker than his first few batches. Mine was broken during shipping and honestly it looked like you could crack it by looking at it . I then went with one of mikeL's replica demonspeed lips for slightly over 1/2 the price of the feed replica and it looked about 10x as durable.

Man I was really liking that FEED lip until somebody pointed out how when you looked at the profile of the car the lip is below the lowest point on the car.

If you guys are looking for front lips, I'd suggest you ask the width of the spoiler. The one I bought from Panspeed in Japan is 2.5 inches wide which means the front will be 2.5 inches lower. I'm wondering how long this one will last. Ack, oh well. 17" and proper tire should raise it about .5 in.
The few who are selling replicas are about 2- 3 inches wide which will make driving up and down driveways tricky.

Yup, but that is fibreglass and it's 255 bucks. This one (rotaryextreme version) is made from urethane, same material as the stock front bumper which doesn't crack when you have an OOOPPPS incident. Urethane costs a lot more since material costs are high and it's harder to work with than fibreglass. The mold is also a bit more complicated. That and this one is 195.

Let me know what you find, because I always wanted one but settled for the OEM turbo lip because I couldn't find one for less than $500.

This piece is a direct replica of the Mazdaspeed front lip. Constructed of high quality hand laid fiberglass. Fits S5 model (89-92).

What pisses me off is that I HAD the real MS lip......on a drive in the mountains my front end bottomed out and loosened it......once out of the mountains I hit Hwy. 1 and when I with 110 it broke and I ran over it........When I got out after my drive I saw my front end and was like....."hmmmmmm it looks weird......NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Whoa, I'd rock that MS duplicate lip, for track use only. I'd wreck it on the street for sure.

Actually interestingly enough there is a group buy going on at NoPistons for Feed Replica lips, the price is 195$

http://www.nopistons.com/forums/inde...howtopic=47604

We just need about 50 more people to jump on .

BTW they are polyurethane not some crappy breakable fiberglass.
