whats the reason for your post? What does what you said have to do w/ ANYTHING? is there a reason to be negative? Are you having a bad day there in boston ? If you read the post you will see that there IS a mold that was used from a RS4... This thread/idea was just started a few days ago... give it time and positive reinforcement !
Go back to your side of the forum if you have nothing USEFUL to say

I would do it if it was not carbon fiber. I think the price is too high. dropping the carbon fiber might make it cheaper to produce and you might get more people to jump on board. Carbon fiber matches some of you cars so i think that limits the interest too.
For example it would match great with fastmax's car but wouldn't on mine.

I don't know if you guys saw the Houston meet pics, Illinoize brought with him a working model of a front lip. He still has to make refinments but from what I saw he doesn't have to do much. We tried it on an earlier model 6th gen and as you can see by the third pic the lip has to be a total new beast in order for it to fit properly

that almost looks to un-aggressiv to stockish(i know i know i shouldn't talk)...maybe if you made the holes a lil bigger and have it jet out more? either way it's nice to see someone coming to the table and doing something.
free advice: don't make it out of CF. it'll crack 10x easier and decrease the cost.

I have spent many months/days/hours/hours wondering how the lip would look on a early 6th gen. thank you for posting a pic ( 3rd pic )
yes more work is needed and if everyone is onboard to modify to build it, i'm down with a donation.

for us 6th genners remember that in buying a lip you gotta get it painted, so to those who dont like the "black" part on the bumper just get it painted when you put the grill on.
problem solved
im gonna do that myself.

Got bored so worked on these.
Here's a Mugen style lip shopped on my car.
I like the Stillen lip just for the fact that it covers most of the bottom opening of the bumper, but I tried to shop all the things I don't like about it. For one, I don't really like the part behind the corner lights. I'd rather it be close to the bumper like in the first pic (i.e. no vents). I also don't like the very front of the lip, so I just filled it in. The last thing is the slope of the grill. Kinda hard to see but I made the slope of the grill steeper in the last pic. Anyways, here are some pics.

They need to extend the side piece out just a little more just for a little of of an aggressive look and not something that is extension of the stock lines.
I am talking about the front right and left sides of the lip need to protrude out a little more.
