Where can I get just the front lip from the Stillen Kit from for a good price? Is it even possible to get the lip alone without the rest of the kit? How much am I looking at?

 

Yes you can. custommaxima.com has a group deal going on on body kits and several members are selling or looking for a partner in the parts wanted forum. You can also get them from Got Rice? and Avalon Racing. Stillen also sells them by themselves, but STAY AWAY FROM STILLEN!!

 

GotRice?'s site is www.EatRiceZone.com - His name is Phuong. He has good prices and very good service.

my thoughts exactly...

 

avalon only wants 169 for the front lip. makes me wana get it BAD.

 

Yeah, Phuong is a cool guy - always ready to trouble shot with you. In your sig it says you are running 235/45/17 tires, how do you like the 45 part of it, do you think going with 40 would look/perform better?

RedMax are those 235/45/17's on 17x7 or 17x8? And 1/3, I would not go any lower than 45 because you will start to run a greater risk of speedometer innacurracy and need to alter your gear ratio to keep the engine revving correctly.

 

You are incorrect SC99, go to http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html and see for yourself. Actually the 45 series is more inaccurate than the 40 series is. I am planning on putting on 18" rims and the 40 series is the best size for the rim. It is only 0.355 mph too fast at 100 mph. The 45 series is 3.27 mph too slow at 100 mph.

He was referring to 17" rims, in which case 45 is correct. For the 18"s you want, 40 is correct. You're comparing apples to oranges, so he is not incorrect, he specifically mentioned 17" rims. For reference, I had 45 series tires on my old 17"s, I now have 35 series tires on my 19"s. You really can't compare sidewall ratios between different rim sizes, it just doesn't work that way. Can't ask someone with 17"s how they like the 45 part when you plan on getting 18"s.

 

They've recently raised there prices by A LOT... and they are Stealin's whoopin boys. sad really

 

my rims are 17x8 ....

 

95/96 or 97-99? I've got a 97-99 in stock. The 95/96 that arrived yesterday is sold and is being shipped out on Thursday after July 4th. Shoot me an email if you're interested and for pricing.

 

I guess I should have specified rim size. I was referring to the 17 inch rims Redmax has.

 

so what are the lips going for now????
