It looks like the Mazdaspeed lip or a knock-off of.



I am going to have to agree with some of the others and say that a fiberglass lip is a bad investment. I spent about $750.00 for an original FEED lip including paintwork, and then lopped the head of a varmit at speed during spirited driving. When I heard the loud POP at impact my heart sank and let me know my wallet was going to get a little bit slimmer.



I miss the GM style lip like I had on an older S-10 lowrider, it was the factory lip and could be repaired with a razor knife and a heat gun, if it got to ratty you could just **** can it and put a new one on, they were only $69.00.

you can convert just the front bumper, if you dont mind the body side moldings not matching, even if you paint the s4 body color they are still different then s5

Here is the lip I want. It's made by SpeedSource Inc. They are made from Jabrock, and are super dupa dollars. Makes the urathane Feed Lip seem cheap.



The white one is the iscracing.net's front splitter which is 225 and made from fiberglass. I"m unsure how thick the unit is or whether it flaps around in the wind and how resilient it is. The white and blue car has the iscracing.net's front splitter installed on a S5 front bumper (I don't have pic on work computer will update post from home)

both of those cars are S5



S4s get no love

How much of an interest would there be in a lip spoiler for FC's that is stronger and stiffer than urethane, but wont break like fiberglass when you hit it? If there is enough genuine interest, I could make it happen.

Rob x-7 06-07-2005 05:57 AM

everyone says they would want one, but in the group buy section when chuck was going to make them out of urethane no one ponied up the money.



people are all talk.
