I have a stock pignose lip that's cracked. I would definitely by another, though.

Call me dumb.....Why do they call it a pignose lip? I've always wondered that. I always thought silvias looked more like a pig with it's flat and fat nose.

First thank you for the replies and maybe I should've made myself clear with my intentions with this post. It is more of a survey to find if it is worth it for me to fund a project in making these to be sold. I will check other forums to see...I just thought there was a market for these and a business partner from China is sooo willing to make this but needed to find out the quantity....

If someone gave me a piggy lip, I'd sell it and put the money towards a vastly superior Xenon lip.

BTW OP, the lip for the 89-90 is different from the 91-94.

Chuki lip>Piggy lip>Xenon lip

ah I see...

honestly, I wouldn't waste my time on replicating pignose lips. They can still be found at the local junk yards and classifieds for cheaper than the price of a replicated one.

If you wanted to make lips, I'd make it for the Chuki, Kouki, and S13 Silvia (non aero)

I'd rather run a Veilside EII lip, but a fiberglass lip will only last so long since it would literally hang 1-2" off the ground.

Xenon it is for me.

I have two of them in my basement that I grabbed from a junkyard and one on my car right now. All are mint except for the one I trimmed to fit onto a chuki bumper better.

Speaking of Garage Defend, I went looking for a pic of this lip for reference and found this. I know it's unrelated, but I just had to show this atrocity of a lip...



If I was a baby, I'd be right now...

Edit: Is this the lip you are talking about, Adrian?

I think these flow better with the chuki side skirts than the xenon does.
