Thanks. Yeah, changing seasons can be expensive if you do it right...I am doing everything else, I should have just taken my spoiler off...oh well, not sure I will replace it now.
^ Sucks to hear. :frown:
I've been very careful this season, my first winter, with my RavSpec PU lip on my slightly (approx. 1-inch, all-around) dropped BL-Legacy.
I have, though, already taken it - albeit not intentionally - through situations where I suspect that a FRP lip would not have survived.
But I also think that as time goes on, I might get more careless.
Don't get me wrong, I know how to drive a lowered car...I come from well over a decade's worth of seat-time behind some rather slammed-to-the-ground DSMs....it's just that I think, I'm getting more callous to things, having driven cars with higher ground clearances as of the last half-decade.

Thanks. Yeah, my spoiler is still hanging on by the sides...just haven't gotten a chance to remove it...I think I am in denile :lol:
Yeah, want to get some good shots...have been stuck inside (snow) and left my camera at my house (i.e. didn't stay at my house for the last few days).
Will definitely post some pics of this heinous crime:icon_frown:
ive been worried about the same thing with all this snow. it is the main reason I haven't gone out yet, not cuz i doubt my subi's capabilities I just like my front lip. it might be worth filing an insurance claim and getting a real fsti front lip and maybe even painting it like XT666 has

^ Is your RavSpec unit PU or FRP?
I knocked my lip off ice racing a month ago... LOL...
Yikes. I need to get moving on my experiment with the 06-07 WRX/STI S204 replica lip (going to try to see if it can be reasonably custom mounted to 03-05 FSTI and FSXTs). Maybe that'll serve as a cheap and replaceable part.
Except every time I find a guy selling them, he's either too far or gets yanked by the mods for trying to be a vendor lol. All I need is a meet up to test fit!

Not sure what I will do yet but here are some crappy crackberry shots of my lip...doesn't look bad from afar at rest (except at an angle when you see like through the gap)...on the highway at speed I have no idea:

Maybe I can talk Dan at MachV into making one just like THESE.
Group Buy possibly?:biggrin:
PU = Polyurethane
FRP = not entirely sure.. fiberglass?
