Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it. I don't need much function, I just need to bring the car down a bit. If I can stay stock feeling but a little lower I would love it.

I've got the same manifold reversed and all too! haha Except my turbo piping goes under the manifold. Did you run a spacer for the throttle body.

Somebody punched my Bugeye and gave it a fat lip

Legit V1 FTW, bye bye replica Prodrive...

AutoPrue · 03-15-2013, 07:05 PM

Looking good! love V1's

25rsti · 03-15-2013, 07:05 PM

Nice score, so hard to come by.

07imprezRS · 03-15-2013, 07:06 PM

The V-1 looks sweet, I have a brand new factory painted V-2 that i have thought about slapping on... Can't bring myself to get rid of the prodrive (authentic)

Smurf - What's going on with the lip on the passenger side by the curb?

Smurftastic · 03-15-2013, 07:09 PM

Yeah authentic Prodrives are something worth holding onto. I was amazed that the replica Prodrive lips are still backordered by three months, so it was VERY easy to sell my old one. I'm glad it's going to a good home.

I just got bored of the Prodrive look... it was starting to get played out when I first bought mine about a year and a half ago.. but I guess it works good if you're super low on coils

I know someone who might be intrested in buying a Prodrive lip LMK.

25rsti · 03-15-2013, 07:14 PM

I actually just recently sold my Authentic Prodrive lip to a buddy of mine. It was still brand new in the plastic with all the paper work, hardware/clips and sealant. Genuine baby! Sad it's gone, but it was for the better.

Thanks!
Yes there is a 1" thick machined aluminum plate welded to the manifold for the throttle body.
Making this manifold work reversed was a nightmare, but we made it happen.

25rsti · 03-15-2013, 07:19 PM

Is it the one piece long runner? Did you have hood clearance issues?

Yes the one piece long runner. Wouldn't clear the hood without removing some of the hood support ribs.
And had to flip throttle body upside down because Iacv was hitting hood too.

Zipties!

This V1 lip cracked. My plan is to do some fiberglass repair and repaint the lip, but I want to drive around with it for a while first to see what I scrape on.

Looks great

I had to cut the hood skeleton too, I flipped the throttle body upside down though.

Finally sold enough parts to afford a decent retrofit, almost enough to buy the DEPO JDM headlights... choices choices...

Retrofit>knockoffs

Smurftastic · 03-15-2013, 08:10 PM

I may order tonight... I originally planned to just order through theretrofitsource, but damn it there has to be a vendor somewhere that sells bixenon retrofit kits for a TAD BIT cheaper

Sure, the DEPO's are "knockoffs", but if you're coming from the super crap 9007 style OEM housings, these are awesome value for the money!

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have some proper retrofitted JDM housings. It's gonna be almost double the money of the DEPO's to do a proper retro...

After installing the DEPO's in my car I had a moment of "OMG I can see again"! The light output reminded me of my old BMW, which had brutal light output.

Mitch, did you buy the DEPO's? Oh, you didn't....
If you had, you'd know first hand these aren't the average garbage sold on eBay. Please stop schitting on something you have zero experience with, THANX!

Smurftastic · 03-15-2013, 08:19 PM

You should buy my rear spats to help me afford these DEPO beauties

I would, but my car is PSM and I have the spats with the diffuser already. :-)
