well, this weekend i was planning on modding my front bumper, cutting out the grill, adding wire mesh, and putting on a lower lip from fc3s for $150, but i can't find one. my front is too boring, and my mod was going to look tight, but now i cant find it.



i dont want to spend $500 on an s5 front bumper and lower lip, but i want a more agressive look that doesn't cost too much. any ideas? I NEED THAT LIP, ITS GONE!



i attached a pic from the site...

Mike couldn't keep up with demands from the store so he took it off and if anyone wants to buy one you have to contact him directly.

that lip looks awesome but I heard it flaps all over the place at speed.. might need to wire it up somehow (which may look gay but road racers do it to make it more stable and functional)

also... you can get a new S5 front fasica from victoriabritish for 199 USD.



I think it's fibreglass not polyureathane.

yeah, i'm not surprised, the whole front bumper is loose and jiggly feeling, like grandma skin or something.



$200 from victoria british, though...for the s5 bumper, that's an idea. dont i have to buy mounting hardware though?

that $200 one from VB is a aftermarket urethane bumper skin.



You can get it at any body shop and dont have to pay the shipping

from them.

eh, i've decide to go with the fc3s lip, along with $3 in mods courtesty of lowe's. i've got a sweet idea for a nice front mod, and once i finish and put on that lip, i will put up some before and after pics. until then...lets just say they have metal mesh rain gutter guards for only $1.08 and they fit perfectly where the front bumper grill is
