designfate · 10-01-2007, 11:07 PM

Yea so i heard they dont make them anymore but that one website importsonly or someting like that sells the EGR bodykit with the rear lip. If anyone knows what im talking about please let me know, or if you klnow someone that has one for sale. I know GottaRex has on on the classifieds but he doesnt want to ship to Cali.

They don't make them anymore. They only made a tiny, limited run, so good luck.

i could have sworn i saw one in the private for sale forums! search back about 8-10 pages in exterior!!

ScoobyBoy · 10-02-2007, 10:48 AM

I think GottaWRX (?) was selling one awhile ago.

Suba Blu · 10-02-2007, 08:34 PM

wowsers, my car came with the rear and skirts already on it... was this a hard expensive kit to get whenever it was produced?

designfate · 10-02-2007, 08:43 PM

yeah, i stated that gottarex has one for sale but he doesnt want to ship to cali. His in NY so i dont blame him.

there is a WRB bugeye in my town that has the sideskirts and rear lip witht he OEM front lip....god it looks so damn clean.

nvmysvt, your one lucky man.

scby rex · 10-02-2007, 08:46 PM

any pics? Im interested

FireScoob · 10-02-2007, 08:56 PM

I've got the front lip, its impossible to find the sides and rear... I've looked everywhere. Every time either one pops up for sale on here, its either gone by the time I find it or I don't have the money, and it sells the next day.

I thought the OEM kit was the best looking for the bug eye... Was I wrong. The EGR kit doesn't look that different from the OEM kit, but its subtle differences make it sweet.

Magnum626 · 10-02-2007, 09:01 PM

What makes the EGR kit better are the side skirts and the fact that the front and rear one piece. It just fits better in IMO.

Here's his car with the sides and rear lip.

+1 But the downside is a more involved install...

actually I'm a lucky female then!!!

The front lip was missing or never installed because all that was on the car were the sides and the rear... I recently ordered a Greddy lip so I'm hoping that it balances everything out because the car looks stupid without a front lip.

here is my 3 week old purchase.

Haha wow, for some reason i KNEW you were gonna say that..lol

yeah, your car is definatly great looking, that Greddy lup should balance everything out nicely.

Suba Blu · 10-03-2007, 03:18 PM

thanks.. I hope the lip works out great.

What's the difference with the install?

The OEM lips just install using "push clips" much like the ones under the side skirts or at the top of the rear and front bumper covers. It only takes one person to mount it.

The EGR front lip (not sure about the rear) installs using nuts and bolts and you have to install the mounting brackets to the lip (OEM - Mounting brackets come mounted on the lip with rivets). Which means it takes two people to line up and mount the lip. The directions for the EGR lip even suggest that you use a provided adhesive to secure it to the bumper. I don't know how necessary it is, because I still haven't installed mine yet. I also believe none of the EGR lips came painted from the factory... which adds another minor headache.

Sooksook · 10-04-2007, 04:03 AM

Doesn't Wings West make a kit that's very similar to the EGR kit? Probably not what you're looking for but it's been awhile since I've seen one and I remember it looking close.

designfate · 10-04-2007, 04:14 AM

yes they do actually. I just checked it out. I like the rear lip/diffuser i think. Id have to see more angles, and id probably paint the diffuser

Haha I've had my front lip for almost a year now. Things just keep coming up.

As far as painting, well nothing ever comes in MBP.

I have a rear and front lip that has been sitting in my attic for a few years now, never got around to painting and installing. I sold the sideskirts earlier this year and am considering selling the other pieces, still not sure though. Anyway, I have the install manuals, if you are interested, I can scan and email you a copy. PM your email and I will get them to you some time next week.
