comment, make fun of me

okay, i'm game  :evil:

Definitely lip, think how much awesomer it'll look when you come flying out of the next ditch with that hanging off the front end  :mrgreen:
or
Do the lip, the sharp angle will cut right through the small, pesky new growth when you can't manage to stay out of the back trails  :crazy2:



Seriously though, it looks good.  But you gotta make up your mind first if you're going to keep this thing on the road or if you're going to keep throwing it around in the woods.....this lip definitely isn't made for that

Absolutely not. Not ever.

Quote me now while I'm feeling good about it.  I've decided a WRX will be the vehicle that replaces the Jeep.  I can't see paying Evo prices or justifying purchasing a halfassed/beat to death example for the same asinine amount of money.  For an affordable, point to point, all-weather capable performance car, a wagon fits the bill.  A swapped wagon, even better.

Reason? It looks terrible. Does not fit the style of your car in any way, shape, or form. IMO, it barely works on Wagonzilla and I've never seen a big lip like that that looked good. Stick with the garage door lip or go with something less... giant... like an early wrx bumper or something.

Sorry to be blunt, but you asked for honesty.

Don't do it.  People would consider it "rice" on your car.

and front lip, byron had spares...

By some miracle I have not broken that front lip, but the entire bottom has almost no paint left on it.  I'd say just run the bumper (can't see the pic).

i would try the sti 3 piece lip, it's a lot cleaner look then the chargespeed one, I had a WRC front lip for that bumper but it sold a while back. which looked just like the sti 3 piece. Whatever you do make sure you paint it to match the car.

lol thought you were gonna say that.  It would be really helpful to have a spare bumper that was already the right color.  The Chargespeed lip grinds the paint off the upper edge of bottom section of the bumper.
