42,000 yen? anyone know the conversion?

site says it was released Feb 28th 05. I haven't seen any info about it here.

Conversion is about $387. With shipping factored in, it should cost about the same as a regular V-limited. If that truely is an exact (or pretty close) replica of the V-limited lip, I'd be extremely interested.

Ravspec has one that is similar that they are running a GB on right now for 300 shipped.

Yea...I've seen a few pics of it, it's a pretty damn good deal. But, IIRC the Ravspec one isn't an exact replica of the V-limited, and the front is shaped differently. Also, I've heard a few people have had some fitment problems with the Ravspec lips. But hopefully Ravspec can get that sorted out by the 3rd or 4th shipments. I think I'm going to wait a few months to see what happens before purchasing anything.
subieworx 04-06-2005 01:46 PM

It is a little different. A bit more rounded than the original. I am on the third shipment so hopefully it gets sorted out by then.
glilly 04-06-2005 01:47 PM

i'm on the list for the 3rd shipment for the RavSpec CF lip. But as you statedm ans as I saw in the pics, it is not an exact copy of the Vlimited lip. I have the JDM V-limited on my car now and really wan tto keep the exact proportions of the lip. I'm gonna look into the CF Chargespeed version, it looks to be a better match for an exact replica, and Chargespeeds a very reputable company. ...we'll see soon enough i'm sure.

i would buy that chargespeed one in a second
i want a CF one so bad, but i want it to be an *exact* replica of the real v limited as opposed to ravspec's look a like that doesn't match it.
i'm picky

gotta get more info on this chargespeed

I e-mailed Word One about it, and Garret told me he'd have to contact Versus Motorsports (the US importer/distributer for Chargespeed) for pricing and availabity.
bostonstifly 04-06-2005 08:56 PM

You also gotta remeber, that the 42,000 yen prob doesnt include shipping. SHipping from Japan can be some serious $. I loved the lip CF from Japanparts.com, but got on the Group Buy with Ravspec instead.

Thats the Ravspec Lip??
glilly 04-06-2005 09:20 PM

I talked to Versus Motorsport earlier today, they said they do not have a price yet, theyare waiting for "some" samples to arrive within the next 4-6 weeks for "test fiment". I stated there was a good demand for them, and would gladly offer myself as a "test fit" vehicle. :lol: Seems like it may be still a ways away. I'm still down for it.

My thoughts exactly.


The ravspec one just doesn't do it for me. I want the added aerodynamic benefits of the of the v-limited lip, that STi claims that it comes with.
ErrolR1919 04-07-2005 12:46 AM

Ahh... this is exactly what I've been looking for.

Ravspec's and Gruppe-S replicas lose the look of the original V-Limited. Keep us updated on any info you find out.
nexeradg 04-07-2005 01:04 AM

I actually like the lines on Ravspecs better. The curviness (sp?) matches the lines better on the car. Then again I am biased because I am on second shipment.
04RCSTI 04-07-2005 01:09 AM

I want that lip....right now...

I have the real V-lip.When i installed the V-lip i notice that my front end was kinda heavy/solid feel (80miles) w/o the lip the front end feels like its floating on high speed.I drive to work 78 miles(Tememcula to san diego) 1 way every day my average speed is 80-90 miles.

The downside of having the Real V-lip(ABS) is its so thin & super flexible i can compare it to a jack in the box large soda cup.In picture you just can't tell that its super thin.I'm just glad that i only pay $375 for my real v-lip :D
STi-MAN 04-07-2005 02:32 AM

i have a better copy of the v limit then the ravspec, but i bet the charge speed one would have better fitment and quality.
shicane 04-07-2005 03:35 AM

groupbuy!!!!
JIN 04-07-2005 04:55 AM

Oh man, that looks so much better ... nice.

RandomDj 04-07-2005 07:17 AM

i definitely agree that the chargespeed would have excellent fitment... i second the group buy motion!!!! :D

rsracer2005 06-01-2005 10:22 PM

keyser_soze 06-02-2005 05:28 AM

mmm....im here in japan right now...anyone know where i can pick one up? i doubt if autobacs would have it?
RandomDj 06-02-2005 07:36 AM

yeah i kinda want an update on this too... last i heard versus imported one for test fit...
glilly 06-02-2005 02:05 PM

last i talked to VS the new lips didn;t make thier recent container. Check back middle of June. :rolleyes:

Oh, and now they offer two versions.

(second version)

no doubt, ...i'm selling my V-limited (real one) and my Rav-Spec replica once this comes in.

STi-MAN 06-02-2005 02:30 PM

man that second one with the carnards is just plain SEX.
04RCSTI 06-02-2005 07:19 PM

oooh i like them both...the question is when!
STiDriver 06-06-2005 06:02 PM

It appears we won't have to wait as long as expected:

As per Ben over at Rallysportdirect, the lip is an *exact* replica of the V-limited, and they will have them in stock next month. Shipping is expensive, and places the cost of the lip just above the cost of a normal V-limited. But if that ensures the lip will arrive intact, I don't mind paying it.
glilly 06-06-2005 07:16 PM

sweet, ...just called them. I'm still gonna try and hold out for the type 2 version.
Greg ;)
subieworx 06-07-2005 08:00 AM

So that's 420 plus shipping? Wow.
