will a sedan front lip fit on a wagon?
Okay...I remembered seeing in the classified section that someone was selling the UK front lip. In the pic that they give it's obvious that it is on a wagon (it doesn't have the 3 split things on the vent) I know that this lip is for a wagon, but the seller said that they were able to get it on their sedan. So i was wondering if the reverse (sedan lip on wagon) was possible. There aren't any "attractive" lips that are wagone specific. I much rather like the sedan's lips, makes me wish sometimes that I got a sedan. Anyway, has anyone done this and can give me some insight on this? Thanks

i think they will fit
they are the same dimensions arent they? most body kits are wagon sedan specific because of the sideskirts and rear section, i believe the front is the same |

sedan and wagon lips dont fit, but you can have it modified to fit. i too dont like what's out there for the wagons. the reason i know they dont fit, is that i bought a sti lip, i had heard that they wouldnt fit so i bought it just to check. the lip sticks out 1-2 inches on each side. i thinks that's due to the fenders flared. mines at the body now and i plan to have it produced so wagon owners can at least purchase a sti lip. i will post pic as soon as it's done. again you can do this yourself but it would be more expensive. right now i'm at $570. and i havent gotten the bill from my body man. dave

Just wondering
Would it be possible to cut a STI lip in the middle and remove a few inches in order to make it fit ?
So my question is : " Is the lip only to wide or does it have a shape that simply doesnt' fit ?" |

the front of the lip fits fine you will need to trim the front piece that goes in under the license plate, it the sides that bow out. that's where a bodyman comes into play if you've never done this before. i haven’t got my piece back yet to modify the mounting brackets so I don’t know what’s involved with that yet. Again if youre looking to buy and sti lip I will be having this produced in polyurethane. when i bought my lip i looked everywhere price was $450 to $575 plu shipping for a urethane lip. i do plan to have my price lower then $450 dollors.

That beautiful wagon goes against what everyone said will/won't fit. So??? I think the owner said that his dealership found a way to attach the OEM sedan kit to the wagon.

I would think that the front lips that are in 3 pieces would not be two hard to fit. Most of the work would be trimming down the center.
I am a fan on the STI ver1 and vaer2 lips. Someone is working on a ver1 replica for the wagon. I have thought about getting a ver2 lips and fitting it. The ver2 lip is two pieces so I would trim out the middle. Though at $500 I am not sure how ready I would be to cutting into it. |
