Either keep it direct OEM replacement or nothing at all.

Ryan,

I remember that thread and if I am correct that company is located in Calgary. If they need a car to do measurements on I am more then willing to take my car to them to look at it. Just give me a shout when you find out!! I could always use a free prototype.

And if there are any other parts that they want to do....they can use my car as well. Say a full CF rear wing for the SS S/C??

like this:



not this:

just so you guys know...the company that spike it contacting will most likely be making a front wind splitter that is picture above on the srt4. for those wanting something similar to the wrx version or a piece to go on the lip of the bumper will most likely be dissapointed.

i have spoken to a rep a seibon and they said anything we want done they can do carbon fiber they just need parts as tempates... I was trying to buy parts like a hood, lip , trunk, wing anything that we want... They told me if i give them the parts they can make the pieces... The only bad thing is the original part will not be returned... Plus they dont want cars to come in they want parts and parts alone... So anyone willing to sell me those parts contact me with info and prices

subscribing. my buddy has a saturn sc2 with a full cf lip kit, and it's similar to what reign showed on the wrx. i personally like the splitter. i don't like the flat splitter however. it's just ugly.

somone on here was selling a whole SS/SC factory lip kit you might be able to search and find it. if you bought it I'd say send them all the parts and they can make a complete factory replacement in carbon fiber of course

If you can find the Grand am cup Cobalt build book, A company was building a carbonfiber front lip with brake cooling connections. In the back of the book it had a part number. I have search GM Tuner, but they no longer seem to have that for download anymore.
