The real deal v-limited lip is pricey and fragile. Mach V Motorsports has a polyurethane one that is more durable and more easily repaired by a qualified bodyshop. Website is www.fastwrx.com

THANKS! this lip looks better than the ebay knock off cuz the knock off doesnt look like it has a clear coat on it like this one! although it is pricey but they do have the sti badge

Dude, you should install an oil catch can too. I never got around to putting one in, but it is important!

Did you look into the maddad gauges? They match the amber STI gauges really well. I haven't looked in a while but there should be a lot of opinions about them on nasioc.

make sure your car isnt slammed or low if you run that lip. i raised my car quite a bit before installing my v limited lip and i still destroyed it, lol. it was the real deal too...only had it for a few months lol. i suck though, thats why i dont buy exterior parts stock body for meeeeeeeeeeeeee
