So, other than the stylish and inexpensive landscape edging, what other options do I have for the T2? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

corksports has a few frount spoilers. also check out AWR they have an awsome EP frount splitter made out of fiberglass. and i myself am working on a frount splitter/air ducting for the stock s5 bumper to icolate the radiator from the frount mount. and so far the part is coming out great, just need to get the real core material now and make it and lay carbonfiber on it.

we're gonna do a front lip for prolly nodes car, gonna use plywood and make a lip that kind looks like a 99 FD lip. my friend had something like that on his 240, but it was cf, and when you hit the plywood lip on something you're out like $10....

Check out Shine Auto Project. Unfortunately most of the lips are for S5 TIIs so it leaves me out. But they use a nice flexible plastic compound instead of just fiberglass. I think they're sponsors on one of the other rotary sites, I don't know which off hand though.

Yah, I'm finding some stuff for S5, but that does me no good. Damn S5 elitist pricks! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif

Do you know how many clams they want for it? The website doesn't list a price.

these are highly technical... basically i think you put the plywood sheet up to the car and mark it with pen...

What thickness? I could see how you could make that look good, be functional, and cheap.

Brilliant!



One quibble: Wouldn't it be best if the bottom of the tire protruded below the bottom edge of the lip?

less friction between the tire in the ground should result in higher mileage. and dont forget the goat effect.
