***UPDATE***
I received my WW lip the other day and did a test fit before paint. I gotta say it looks much more aggressive. I love it! Here are some pics

Ok, I have came down to two different front lips that I like but I am having a hard time deciding on which one. Maybe the board can help me. Keep in mind my car is GPW and I also have the stacy side skirts. If the owners of the pics would like me to take them down, please let me know.

The first lip is the most common lip I see but its pretty clean. Wings West front lip:

The second lip, I dont see as much but still like. Shine Project Type-1:

I have the Wings West lip and i love it. It really improve the looks of the car!

I currently have the lip at the paint shop (Had a small accident) and the car looks sooo dated without it, so untill i get it back she stays in the garage. :frown:

They both polyurethane, drvolk had both the 1st and 2nd generation. John @Zanetech and me had the 1st preproduction one that the FRP is more brittle. Mine is beaten to death, but you are welcome to check it out.

If you want more original, go with the shine lip, WW is played out. (It looks good though) There's only 3 of us have the same lip in Seattle area, but probably 20+ with wingswest.

Wait, you already had the Stacy side skirt, the wingswest will look better with your stacey side skirt though. Stacy decided his side skirt to flow with the WW front and 02 rear.

Yes, that's it, you need a 02+ rear too...:biggrin:

The Shine lip sits flush with the rest of your front. WW is outside the panels which makes it even more monumental on the front.
Shine lip is my recommandation for you.:smile:
 
I want something that will flow best with the stacy side skirts and after looking at multiple pictures, I think the WW lip would do that best. So for now I think I will be going for the WW lip. Also, the 02+ valence is in the near future. I'm waitng for me ce28 to be built and shipped and I plan on installing everything at once. Thanks for your help guys.
 
Where's the best place to buy a Wings West lip?

I've been thinking about buying one for some time now, and may just go ahead and pick one up.
 
Rusted,

Here is my car with a WW lip and I have Vinny Side Skirts which are similar to the Stacy's that you have I think. This might give you a better idea of what your car would like.

I bought my WW lip off Prime for $250 + shipping. I posted a wanted add.

Hope this helps ...

I have other pictures if you want.

I have a Shine type 1 front spoiler and It looks great, how ever I have scraped it twice on uphill driveways. Can anyone tell me the distance from the bottom of the spolier to the ground an a Wings West front chin spoiler?

I have 5" from the bottom front of my spoiler to the ground. I think lowering my car is out.

I wish I can help you with your exact measurements, but my car is lowered already by 1.5" and I have the WW lip and Vinny side skirts.

I can stick my hand upright under the front lip and the side. I would have to say the clearance is about 3.5" or so. I have not had any trouble scraping the front lip. I can definately not park over and curb in a parking lot. I have to park short or the lip hit it. I have no problems with most speed bumbs, but have to go very slow and take them at an angle.

I've had trouble on one driveway but have not pulled back in it since. For the most part all has been good. Just waiting for the day when there is a fairly large road kill that apprears from under a car in front of me. I have a feeling that will not be a good day.

"Knock on wood" that it does not happen.

I hope this helps.
