is there any reason you want a carbon lip? What year bumper are you using? I'm about to order my Wise front lip for the 97+ and it's only plastic and still costing $500 plus!
Off topic: vredniykot, just noticed you're in palm coast. I go there a lot with my SC and haven't really seen any other fixed up ones. What mods do you have?

It's like a never ending cycle. 
And we're off again.
for you Detuned for actually spending the money for a 97+ front lip. But judging from you sig, it's nothing new for you. 
Vred, nice to see you live and kicking on the forums again, wasn't it chronoj1? I'm not sure.

Which is stronger- ABS plastic, or fiberglass? Aren't most of the aftermarket aero stuff for these cars made out of fiberglass?

im running the pre 97 i saw a couple other threads about it but they never went anywhere. i guess the best bet is to search yahoo auctions japan. or...... peter could make us all some carbon fiber versions of his lip he just ordered and we could all be happy 
but the real reason for wanting one is my friend wants to buy one for his soarer and he said if i could find him one he would buy it and give me his lip thats on there now.

I would think ABS plastic is stronger in terms of endurement. Fiberglass have 0 flex and will crack when you bump em. I've heard though, the true JDM high quality fiberglass will hold it's own on the streets. And yes, very rarely do you see a body kit that is not made out of fiberglass.

I'm still debating between the Vertex lip and the Wise lip... both look pretty good, and both cost $500 if I remember correctly.
Any other pics (side pics, different angles?) of the Wise lip? I'm really interested in that, do you know where I could buy one from? thanks guys
