Brainchild Customs Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 So I saw the new thread about the lip coming out and wanted to show you guys what I've been rolling around with. Excuse the random smattering of photos. This is the JDM-only B4 2.5GT tS front lip spolier and trunk lip spoiler.

I have new wheels on the way from Work Wheels in a more aggressive fitment and different style. AND these should be arriving next week..! http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/images/products/StopTech/Galleries/BBK/Slotted/BBK_Slotted_10.jpg oh, I also ordered a few special JDM exterior parts as well which should arrive by early february Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbl_D718 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 So...I couldn't help but notice how many different license plates you have through the pics. What's up with that? lol Cool car though.

lingling1337 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Makes the 5th gen look downright respectable Nice work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 interesting to see how the front lip fits now the companies are gonna start replicating it and sell it as USDM fitment... nice wheels too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brainchild Customs Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys! I think it's coming along:) Excited to get the brakes, wheels and aero parts on. I'll try to address the common questions below. Christ. Dude you have the best looking 5th gen, were there any fittment issues with the lights and lip? What wheels are you doing next? For the new wheels I'm getting the first run of the new 19inch Work CR Ultimate in the GT Silver color. 19x9.5 +38 with a 255/35 tire. These are supposed to be coming in by the end of january from what I'm told. …very nice, any additional info about the fitment of the STI front lip? Thanks guys! The lights bolt right in, so no issues with fitment at all. The lip fits surprisingly well. Frankly, I got sick of waiting for a lip option and just took the plunge after studying a lot of photos. I'm glad I did too, all of the plastic clips on the bottom line up. The bottom edge of the jdm bumper is obviously different from the usdm, so it isn't 100% perfect, but the fitment overall is quite good, it looks fantastic in person. Headlights were about $500 and the front lip was about $600 after shipping costs. Looking very good. Can you share what jdm exterior parts can be fitted to our cars? Basically any of the sides and rear options from the japanese aero companies should work no problem. Hell, the JDM tS lip fit, that may mean others will fit too. I have some side skirts and a rear lip on the way (they're saying early february arrival). So...I couldn't help but notice how many different license plates you have through the pics. What's up with that? lol Cool car though. The 5th gens can look great with a few mods. picked up the habit of removing my plates from photos I post a long time ago, not really sure why to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbl_D718 Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 photoshop Haha I fail. Don't know why I didn't automatically assume that. Can't wait to see you new wheels. I wasn't a huge fan of the stance your current wheels give, even though I like the wheels themselves. The new wheels should look sweet.

White Knight Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 ^^ He said that the lip cost him $600 after shipping but didn't say where. I would assume japanparts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
