That's the only place to buy one new. The only other option for that lip is to wait around until someone sells one used which is a rare occurrence. If you don't want to spend that much money, some people have used lips from Accords, Civics, and a few from Integras. Or you can a "home depot lip" You have to get creative with these bumpers...I personally have a Civic lip

i'd be willing to bet that site has no stock available. the mazda accessory front lip has been out of production for a looong time.

an alternative would be to get a civic or accord front lip and modify it to fit. it wont look as good, but will be quicker and easier to find.

I figured the same thing when I first found that site a few years ago but someone bought one from there just recently. I believe it was Alex (ffocused). With my Civic lip it was $36 shipped, then $30-ish for paint and what not. If it scrapes or gets screwed up no big deal, it was cheap and can easily be replaced, where as the oem lip would make me pucker everytime it came anywhere near scraping since they're so expensive. Civic lips don't look terrible but since eGay quality is hit or miss you can get one like mine that is warped so one side bends in and one bends out...but oh well, it's something lol.

P5 bumper covers have about the same "lippage" clearance.

I used the front splitters from a Saab 9-5 on mine... They fit perfect. I'm just waiting on the car to be painted and then I will correctly attach them.



test fitted... its just on with zip ties.... it actually follows the lines of the bumper perfect.









its not a full lip... its just splitters off the sides.


I have a different lip in mind........

OK back story.... the 850/x70 guys ran these back in the day... then they realized these fit...

soooooo I'm waiting for one of my buddies to pull it off his bumper and then I'm gonna test fit it on the protg....

I see more STI lips on non-STI's than I see on STI's lol.
I've seen some MSP's with those (or similar style) lips but I believe they were added on DG lips. Would be interested to see if they fit regular Protege's as well

Old thread but anybody ever install the RX style front lip on a bj2 bumper. It's on eBay and looks like it might be nice in body color. Any body got pics?
