nice ride!

One question for you about the eyelines...

i got the grill and the lip already being painted in the bodyshop.... and now im struggling as to if i should get the eyelines too because they seem quite THICK.... does it cover quite alot of the reflector ? because the Police here is really full of it and they will give me a ticket....

thanks and once again... mad props nice ride
 
Actually it wasn't hard at all. The guy I took it to already had the index card cor the color code so he just followed that. He said that it was rather simple to mix and no too difficult at all. He can't figure out why body shops are saying the paint isn't out yet.
 
Is that the Autoexe lip? Where did you get it?

How's it going man? Nice pictures. Those eyelids are not so aggresive in my opinion but rather it gives the car a 'sleepy' appearance. Does anyone agree? ;)
Does it cover the light output at all?

The front lip looks good, when you installed it, did you have to take off the front bumper to remove all the screws from the wind spiltter then installed the lip? What did you use to hold up the lip other then screws?

The 3rd picture with the camera placed on the ground, it shows the clearance of your autoexe front lip and the ground. Seems like there is still a good amount of clearance to play with. You're still not in the danger zone for even the worse of roads. But after lowering, i think you'll need to becareful. Actually you'll still need to becareful when parking up close to curbs. Anyway, are you going to get those downforcers?

The WW roof spoiler is smaller than i thought it would turn out. I wish it was slightly longer, but overall i looks good :cool: I like the added touch. Hurry up Mitch! :rolleyes:

Is that TT stuck onto the black plastic? or is there a cut out on the plastic to house the TT?

So, what's next?
I think it's time to lower!
 
Thanks everyone!

does it cover quite alot of the reflector

The eyebrows don't cover that much at all. There is no way why cops should give you a hard time for these. Light output is still at about 85-90%.

Is that the Autoexe lip? Where did you get it?

Yes it is the fiberglass version of the Autoexe lip. I got it from another forum member.

Hey Limited! I know what you're saying about the eyebrows. I had both responses to them (sleepy and angry). It's cool though. I did have to remove the front splitter to put this lip on. It's being held by screws on the side and double sided tape on the front. I noticed that there is a lot of ground clearance from the pic but you really have to see it in person cause it doesn't seem like there is. If I lower it, there is seriously gonna be some problems cause I know it will scrape on some driveways (my girlfriends especially) and eventually crack. Downforcers are on the horizon but not anytime soon unless there is a group buy. The TT is not jsut stuck onto the plastic. There is a cutout for it to be stuck on to something behind it. Hope your visor comes soon!
 
I like the look. Not over done. Nice job!!

Hey everyone!! I Love My MAZDASPEED!!!!!!! (k) (k) (k)
 
holy s***...the lip DOES look good....how much did you pay for it? how hard is it to get autoexe stuff? ive seen the DG carbon fiber lip, but its out of my budget....:(
 
Notice Gyro said "the fibreglass version" so that means he has the DG lip.. I have that also.

As for deals on Autoexe ... Hell YA of course for fellow Vancity members.... i just gotta wait on the word from Rishie and i'll give you the details coz Rishie is not avaliable these days.


Gyro :
Are those eyelines the Mintblues or Erebuni?
Where'd you get them how much?

So they dont cover much of the reflector? Coz i am looking at one of the sideeview pics you posted and i see that the orange reflector is almost half gone? Or am i just seeing things?

And as for police giving me problems........ if im living anywhere else in this world... they are ok.... but the Richmond cops are Pigs and they are harsh cracking down on imports..... the police states that anything that covers the reflectors of the headlight assembly is illegal! err..
 
This was exactly what I was going to do when I was getting the orange. I had everything ready to go, and then decided not to because the lip would strike on a few roads around here.

Nice, very nice.
 
Let's just say that I got a really good deal for the lip. Some work had to be done to it when I got it though but other than that, I'm very happy with the purchase. The eyebrow are from Erebuni. The intial cost is about $107 CDN shipped but then duty hits you for another $50. Damn duty!

Hey Initial, you're right about Van cops. They are harsh and will pull you over for ANYTHING. I personally don't think that the eyebrows cover that much of the reflector. Just my opionion.

DG has had a full fibreglass lip ever since........... lets just say the beginning... :D

they have FG version and CF version.
 
im still undecided about the front lip. When i joined this forum a year ago i was in love with it, thought it looked sooo phat.....and still think it looks AWESOME on black, but on brighter cars, like our orange the more times i see em the more it looks to me like it makes the front too heavy looking....anyone else?

I remember how much I loved it when i first saw em when i joined here, and i wish i still ilked em that much cuz i have a msp now and i have the money for one so someone talk some sense into me!!

Hey Slug420
i'm totally with you. I was totally in love with the front lip at first sight when i saw it. It looks gorgous on the Mp3 blue and on a White P5, but now that i think about it on my car (orange) i also agree that it looks a bit 'heavy'. It's slightly on a clunky side, but then again, there's no other make for the front lip right now. So if we plan on getting it, this is our only choice. Maybe the DG half carbon fibre one won't make it as clunk. Since you hardly notice the CB lower part of the lip from a distance.
Have you ever seen this lip in person? I've seen it when i as in Vancouver on a midnight blue P5, and i was in love with it. YOu might change your mind on how it looks in person. I knew i wanted one for my car, and i still do. :cool:
If you plan on lowering with this front lip, you won't regret it. I think if it's about 3" off the ground you'll totally love it.
But you'll hate the bad roads :D
