Hey guys, so i've finally gotten to where i'm happy with my DSM in a performance sense. But now i'd like to focus on the aesthetics. I've seen various lips over the years, from the RM lip, the cupra lip, and even the home depot "lip". Well i'd like to get a lip or even a splitter but i've been out of luck finding them.
As of right now i know the there is the extremedimensions lip and the only splitter I can find is: http://special-carbonfiber.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=112_67&product_id=132 Any reviews on this specific splitter and any other lips people can think of that are currently still be sold.

Second question, where would you guys recommend some carbon canards that would look decent on a 2g. I've only seen a handful of DSMs with them but haven't been able to get in contact with the owners to ask. Thanks in advance for the help guys
 
That's a lot of money :/ but you gotta pay to play right?

I'm new to the DSM world but coming in I knew the choices for front lips was scarce. So my GF had a beat up STi lip she had mounted on her A-Spec lip on her TSX that she planned on swapping out, therefore; I figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a try on my 2gb eclipse bumper:

Some obvious trimming will need to be made as it is too long but otherwise, it's a straight forward install:

You can pick on up off eBay for about 105 bucks--STi V2 lip or something along those lines. Just an option to kick around.
 
Get a cnc/water jet company to cnc machine you a custom lip, buy some universal, adjustable support rods from eBay and vouila... The perfect lip
 
There's a lot of ways you can make a aesthetically pleasing, but more importantly functional, splitter for your DSM. My splitter is made of 1/4" ABS plastic that's practically indestructible and is an under tray up to the downpipe, I think I paid $115 for it and added ~12lbs to my bumper. Here's a photo of mine...

A local fabricator that built my exhaust was working on aero for an S2000, I already had this diffuser but I still asked him out of interest what he used for the diffuser on the S2000. He uses a material called Alumalite which is corrugated plastic, using thin sheets of aluminum for strength on the corners/edges and aluminum angle iron riveted to the back, just like you see in the picture of mine.

A quick Google search of "alumilite splitter or diffuser" pulls up a lot of Grassroots sites that could give you ideas but here's a photo of the S2K's Alumilite diffuser. Of course it's ridiculous but it's a serious track car...

...and an undershot of how he uses aluminum on the weaker edges to strengthen it up. You could even sandwich the Alumilite between two thin sheets of aluminum to make it more rigid for a street/track car.

seen this car on here and i definately loved it, add some canards to that and it will look beasy! Pipnorcali is right , BBR tuning has a killer DSm with canards that fit my style

Do you have a splitter on your talon bumper gofer? I want to do some kind of splitter/under tray but the sides curve up, so a simple flat panel won't look right.

I like this. Let me know how this turns out
 
So hunted for a bit and someone was kind enough to PM me and provide some direction for my search. I know he doesn't have the best reputation on here but Sergio from Carbonetics has a kit that will be coming out in a 3-5 weeks for a 2gb Eclipse. It will consist of a front splitter, side splitters, and a rear diffuser. It will be offered in fiberglass or carbon fiber. I think I may hold on and see how that turns out before deciding to go a different route. He showed me some pictures of what it will look like aesthetically as he made a similar kit for SRT4s and based off of the pictures it looks very badass. I will update this thread when I get more info.
 
Post the pics for reference please?
 
...you'll be bumping this thread in 3yrs once you finally get the parts. ;)
Haha I knew that was coming. I'm going to be very cautious and not let my want of his products overwhelm my judgement.

I'll post pics of the SRT4 when I get back to my computer.
 
I used alumilite as well. Its alot cheaper to make your own than it is to purchase, and if it breaks, you can make another!

I got it all on mine haha
 
I looked into buying the cannads from the guy that made BBR Tunings and they were quite expensive. I was told $350 for a pair and $550 for two pairs. This was for single sided carbon.
