Ok guys!! Here are some pics of the first lip that we molded out from the new molds.

Everything looks perfect!! I compared the OEM lip with the new lip and everything looks identical!!

We will have confirmed the fitment on Wednesday. I will have an update for you guys Thursday night.

Now on to the pics:









I will have MOAR pics Thursday regarding the fitment. After that we will start the group buy!!
Good work!! Thank you for doing this. Nismo left us all hanging.

Ionic & Pnn, thanks so much for doing this! The lip looks awesome! I imagine you're still working it out, but what's the pricing on the group buy?

NICEEEEE! this was pretty dammn fast.

BTW IONIC you guys should consider making some more stuff for us 05-06 guys. i.e hoods, trunks, and bumpers etc. Because currently most of the stuff available (and recently made) are only available for 03-04. Which doesnt really make sense because I believe the market is much bigger in 05-06.

We better not get screwed by the pricing lol, the demand and interest level is reallly high.

Trunks fit the same 03-06.
I think the strafe rear bumper fits 03-06 as well, but ask them first, I'm not 100% sure on that.
HikkataDori also made their Nismo Areo front bumper replica in an 05-06 version as well.

05-06 has been getting some love, and they will continue to get more attention as the price comes down and more people start modding them.

which is why the price would be high. they could charge whatever they want since they're the only ones making this piece. i hope they don't, but you cant blame them if they did.

^ For everyone's frame of reference, these were the prices of the OEM lip when it was still in stock:


Back in 2007, you could get an OEM lip for about ~$300-340 shipped.

In late 2009 (< I think) when Riverside Infiniti were selling the last batch in the US, some members said the price was $400 + $70 shipped. I can't find that thread for some reason.

^ Good point, though I'm sure that Jose isn't banking on sending his kiddies through college from the sale of this replica lip. He's a G35 owner & also a good dude based on what I've seen and read on here.

^I believe those prices were for painted lips ready to install. I'm not sure these will be available already painted.

I'm not worried about the pricing. I'm sure Ionic will be fair.

Yes they were already painted, but I really couldnt justify paying for an oem priced lip lol. Paint should be about 120-150 right?

btw I was actually one of the first to make a thread about a replica https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sed...n-spoiler.html

I guess the vendors werent paying attention at the moment.


THANKS AGAIN IONIC
