Tom's Replica front lip with pics!!
Tom's Replica front lip with pics!!
Well I finally pulled the trigger on the front lip.
100.00 shipped
200.00 paint and professional install
40.00 for a fellow Club lex member that sent me the gaskets kit.
The end result is This!
I couldn't be happier, the fit for a replica is amazing. This was the polyurethane option on ebay had no brackets or instructions. To be perfectly honest Im so happy I did not buy the real piece. The piece is solid and with a real body shop install as you can see the piece fits perfect!

It was the DTM motors seller on eBay. The front lip is almost perfect level with the oem skirts. Debating getting the rear now. I honestly don't like the toms skirts and don't think they are needed.

He bought the gaskets from me. Rubber gaskets that goes in between the lip and your bumper. Sealant and protectant.
They are an authentic Tom's part. I had a 2 sets included with my Tom's kit. I used the black set and sold mitch the grey set...
Can't buy em. Tom's USA or Japan do not sell them individually.

I think they may be available from 3M. They look way to generic and have the red tape just like 3M double sided tape. If I don't end up installing a rear I will have plenty extra.

No, that is just mounting tape aka double sided tape.
The gasket is an actual "T" shaped gasket that attaches to the lip and "fills" the gap between the lip and the bumper.
They are not generic. They are pretty hard to find. Ask the other IS guys that have tom kits and need replacements, they can't find them. (say you got needed a repaint or damage was done) My buddy actually owns a body shop and he says guys that buy the lip used or guys who needed it repaired/painted have a tough time finding the gaskets...
