Front lip other than OEM?

I've been scouring the Internet for a front lip other than the OEM. I like it from the front view but I can't get with the sides where it connects, those bulges just don't do it for me - looking for something more streamlined. I really like the look of this:

But the owner said it came on the car and wasn't sure what it was. Outside of fabricating some kind of splitter out of ABS/carbon fiber or something, do I have any other options for a bit of flair on the front? Has anyone ever successfully modified a coupe or other vehicle front lip on their car?

I've been looking for a lip like that too! It looks like a modified subaru 06 s204 lip.

The OEM coupe lip can be modded to fit the sedans it's been done more than once. But it still has the sides you aren't fond of. Unfortunately the aftermarket options of a true lip are slim with none I have seen I like. And a splitter on a stock bumper just looks dumb IMHO. Not sure what to recommend, maybe a Kurookie bumper for ya?!

It looks like one of TBW's aluminum lips/splitters. I don't know if he is still making them. Here's a link to the old thread:

He hasn't made any for a while now. I believe in his thread he said at one time he might produce more if there was enough interest.

Not that we were given less options, many didn't buy this car in hopes of modding it. The coupe was geared obviously towards those looking for performance.. we just got the short end of the stick as most aftermarket companies only focused on the coupe.. I like the sedan over the coupe any day and i'm jaded now. Womp.

Was never a fan of the z's, a few buddies of mine had them a year or two after they came out and ya it was fun but I never liked the idea of driving with 3 people (we were in HS).. The smallest person which fortunately was never me lol sat in the back crammed between the seats. Only plus was when my buddy gave a cute girl a ride home she got to sit on my lap. The practicality of the sedan far outweighs the options!

Might go the route of just fabbing up some splitter and bolting it to the bottom of the bumper... I think that's what the car in my OP might have. Would look pretty cool in CF...

This guy makes really good splitters for the sedan for a good price. Message him for rates.

He's usually good about communication. He probably got caught up in life. I'd give him a day or two. If he still doesn't respond then just let him know you're trying to contact him but he hasn't responded in a few days.
