RMM Lip, cut or not

[Ricky49]

Me to, its expensive, dosent even look all that great, seriously, and being a lower lip it will take damage, which will end up being painted, more than likely. So will just cost more. Get a fibreglass one ( cheap!! ) and paint it black ( cheap!! ) and if it gets damaged it will be easy to repair ( cheap!! )...also looks better than cf, especially on a black car.

 

 

I don't think he's doing it on the cheap or money is the issue here.

 

I like no ears from the front but small ears from the side.

But if I had to pick one I'd go for no ears.

No ears, it almost looks stock

No ear, going to get mine done when the bodywork goes for a tidy up

[gaijin]

Smalll one.Reminds me of the Reiger lip i had on my Calibra Turbo.

You going to paint the urethane one bud of leave it the matt rubber look?

[jevansio]

I was initially going to leave it rubber, it matches the rubber along the rest of the oem bodywork, I may get it sprayed later, maybe if it starts looking a bit shabby or I get bored

 

Since taking the diffuser off the rear end seems uncluttered so I might get another TRD spoiler (as I quite liked that), it'll be full fibreglass & be painted all black though (not even a carbon blade)

No "ears" - looks much cleaner and flowing with stock lines.

I'm half with you regarding carbon parts - I don't like carbon splitters and diffusers simply because they will get damaged too easily with road driving. All bets are off if it's a track car though

[johnny g]

None and an active spoiler permanently down

Jay, I've got 2 TRD spoilers at mine - one was for the MR2, but they're pretty much identical

Might have to purchase one off ya bud, not yet, I want it back together 1st, it's looking rather sorry for itself with no spoiler, I think this lot is going to bring the respray forward as the diffuser side pieces have left marks on the bodywork where they were attached

No ear!

[CarlT67]

I like it with 'ears', I dont think the pictures are 'ears on' friendly at the start of the thread due to the strong line on the edge of them created by a light source.

However I have been doing a fair bit of supraforums surfing recently and looking though pictures on there I am liking the 'no ears' look more and more.....

 

'No ears' look great in this picture....

 

[Luxluc]

I voted for no ears Jay, as I think that goes the best with the OEM Supra lines.

 

However, small ears aren't bad either.

[Attero]

Small ear.

 

You plan on selling your lip?

[jevansio]

Cheers for all the help guys, I think I'm going to go no ears, as has been said it's simple & suits the lines of a non-kitted car better

 

Attero, lip is current for sale yes

the respray has been coming for a year!

You can have it matey - it's just sat in the garage. Just sort me out on whatever you're selling next

[jevansio]

I know, been putting it off as power/performance mods always took priority (turbo, then brakes etc)

Actually, I just photoshopped the stock spoiler back on & I think I'm going to skip on the TRD. It is one of the things that makes the car too fussy at the rear. I'm going total stock

 

[a98pmalcolm]

small for me mate!

[johnny g]

For a stock spoiler, I really think you should keep the stock, active-spoiler look

RMM lip rocks on Supras, nothing else comes close, I think I'm finally happy on a look for the car

[jim]

Aye, til you get fed up and decide to VS kit it in a year or two Jay lol

 

The rmm is magic, my preference would be no ears, it'll look great when it's done bud. The only other lip I like is the Amuse but they're not cheap and hard to find.

[pedrosixfour]

If you don't mind me asking, where did you purchase the new lip J?

 

Was it local or the States?

 

As for cutting the ears, I honestly don't know, I think it will depend on the individual car it is being fitted to. No ears is very subtle which may suit the new look of your car.

 

If I ever get one I think I'd leave the ears on but that would be down having a secure quick release set-up on it for getting on and off the trailer.

Hi Pedro, I got it from Dusty, in stock & ready to ship as soon as payed

 

I'm pretty sure I'm going no ears, the poll confirmed it TBH, I agree the cleaner look will suit the no frills look I'm going for now

Cheers for the confirmation buddy, I had a feeling it was from across the big pond.

 

I'm sure whatever you do to the lip it'll still look the business.
