Do you guys know if there are any company that makes front lips for 95-97 LS400? Is WALD the only company that makes one? I'm looking at my LS and it definitely needs a lip.

jp, insurance, amistad, artisan spirits, etc.. all the big JDM makers make a ucf2x (pre and post MC) lip kit.

won't be cheap to ge tthem into the US though.

Version Select and JP Co USA make knockoffs.

Are there any replica lips for the UCF20? My car is pretty low and don't want to spend money on expensive lip and get it messed up.

Well, the absolute, lowest-priced front lip for the LS (like, actually made for our car and not something thrown together in a driveway from Home Depot items) is from JP Co. USA, starting at $250.00* on eBay. Next up would be Version:Select, starting at $283.50* on AutoRND. After that, you'd be looking for not-so-overnight parts from Japan or a one-off and that can easily be $300+.

* I didn't really check shipping costs so that may or may not be the exact cost.

actually there's ebay knockoffs of the VS and/or JP CO lips for ~$160.

Amusingly they're knockoffs of Version Select and JP CO lips, which are already knockoffs of JDM aero lips (insurance and one other one, i forget). So they're knockoffs twice removed

Fitment is passable from what I hear, so at that point if you're determined to buy a knock-off lip, may as well buy the cheapest one.

Dang the whole time I thought JP Co USA was Junction Produce. haha

we are still talking about 95-97 lips correct?

Gonads

Yeah that is correct.

nope, JP Co USA =/= Junction Produce (though I wonder why they picked that name....)

woops, yeah my point carries for the '98-00 lips.

My guess is since JP is an abbreviation for Japan. And yeah, '98-00s get all the cheap rare* mods

*Good luck finding a badgeless grille, stateside, for a UCF10/20 (95-97) in the sub-$100 range lol

Total noon question here... What is meant by the term MC? As in "ucf20/21 before MC... AfterMC.."?

MC= Minor Change, signifies the change between '95-97 and '98-00 cars. all '95-00 are UCF2x chassis (the 1 doesn't mean early/late, it means air/non-air, in essence.).
