I'm not sure of the company, as there are many copies here in Australia, but to me it looks like a knock-off Wise lip.... pretty cheap too as you said! The price only costs AUD$400, or around the US$220 mark? A knock-off Explosion kit costs about AUD$1500 more or less, or around US$890 or so.
Any idea on where I can look to find that lip?

all you guy's have to do is go to advanced auto parts or something similar, get some MARHYDE BLACK SATIN BUMPER TRIM and use a scotchbrite pad and comet cleanser in water to make your lip, plate holder, and everything else look better than new.

Wise used to make that front lip for our car, I guess wise quit production, so are there any other manufacturers of a front lip? I love the look of the wise front lip and want something similar...

Thanks-
Rob
When did Wise stop production? I just sold my geniue wise lip and actually got it what maybe 2 months ago? Think you might have heard some misinformation.

i LOVE the look of the explosion kit personally. Where would I be able to buy one and what would the prices possibly be? I did a search for it and all i yielded was someone asking about the Explosion kit and the thread turned into a discussion about the AutoCouture kit.
Maybe someone can just pm me some info about the kit instead of hijacking the thread?
Thanks

Default front lip

It's now two days with the wisesports lip and other pieces and I can't believe the attention I'm getting. Everyone who knows me thinks the car looks great. Even my wife gave me a shout out. Before, guys with mercedes sl500's didn't look me over that much. I've caught two guys trying not to look. If anyone is thinking about a wisesports lip or kit, I'd say it was worth the extra money. Geez, what's going to happen when I get the 19 inch wheels.

Thanks Turbo

do a search on "erebuni" and you'll see some info on it... from MY understanding it is a bolt on but fitment is crap and quality is crap... i might be wrong but your best bet is to look for people's comments. so search. Good luck to you.

P.S. VIS kit is even worse (copy of the TE vertex)

Almost every kit requires some modification...according to my bodyshop guys. In Dec I had the erebuni rear lip put on my car. The guys said they worked so hard to get it on they regretted trying, especially for the price they quoted me. The wisesports front lip and 97+ sides were easier but there was still considerable effort involved.
If you buy erebuni, please know that it is made of the cheapest type fiberglass there is. I was told that by 2 other shops that looked at it. If you choose a good bodyshop, it will turn out okay. BTW, the erebuni kit does not look like the wise. The front lip has that familiar lip protrusion but there are side pieces that are not on a wise kit. I saw a car with it, looks cheap to me. If your car is a dark color, you might be able to get away with it though.
Good luck.
