did you happen to get a direct website, or phone number for Xenon? i live in cali so it might be close enough for pick up to avoid shipping charges.

ohhhhhh i want this sooooo badly.

Sadly it must wait for me to get SPL tie rods, SPL seat and a steering wheel.

I'm running kts on full low and I NEVER drag my front bumper. Why the hell is the s13 body work so high off the ground?

I dealt with Xenon directly a bit over a year ago in an attempt to obtain this lip. I had gone through 2 of their "dealers" both of which had a lip dropped shipped to me from Xenon. Both lips were for the 89-90 240sx.

I spent almost a full week contacting the dealers then directly to Xenon. After all was said and done Xenon informed me that they were no longer able to produce that lip as there wasn't much call for it and they had destroyed the mold. There are a ton of Xenon distributors that list the lip as available, but after having 2 send me the wrong part, I dealt with Xenon directly and was told no longer avail.

If someone can get Xenon to directly verify they are able to make the lip for the 91-93 again I'd be in, but not until I heard directly from the maker that it was available and maybe even until I saw someone else receive one from them.

I know a guy who has it. He slammed his car so bad(3 inchs from the ground) bottoming out all the time. Guess what. Lip is in perfect condition. Let me tell ya... This is one of the best chuki front lips ever produced. It's expensive, but once you put it on, you don't have to worry about it for a long time. Fitment is awsome too. I've been looking for this for a long time. I saw his car 2 days ago and drooled... Hope I won't do that anymore.

COUNT ME IN!!!!!!!!

I will DEFINATELY follow up on that. The sales rep said he had called Xenon about the possibility of a bunch of orders, and that they said they could fill them. I'll try and contact them directly.

However, on another forum, a guy is saying that he got to the point of dealing with a BUNCH of different vendors before one sent him the right piece. And that place was apparently our pending vendor.

Also, it's a 91-94 piece. It won't fit the pignose without serious modification. They have one for the Zenki, but it looks a lot like the factory lip, so most folks don't go in on the Xenon lip.

I don't know, 10 on a single areo part is a pretty big order... I'll see about that tomorrow!

The box is going to be HUGE. Imagine the size of your fascia, and remember that this lip is a LOT deeper than most other ones. That's why I'm pretty sure they won't offer free shipping.

You got it man. I'll get you on the list. I'm sure almost everyone else would back away if this was the wrong product!

I am so interested! If they can lower the price for a group buy that would be sweet.

I'm sure if we get an approved GB the price will be lower. The price I listed was a guess, but a bargaining chip nonetheless... if we can point to a list of ready buyers at a given price point, that's all the more reason to lower the price.

Count me in, I am very ready to buy one. $239 is the group price, how much is shipping? Is there some kind of group rate or is it based on where you live?

That's one hell of a nice lip. Almost makes me wish I didn't sell my Chuki.

People need to learn how to read. He never said the price was 239. He gave an example of how he might try to bargain with them to set up a group buy.

Cranky this morning? My bad man. I thought is said it was for sure $239, ut going back and reading it again he did say no promises. Sorry for the mistake, I was reading this thread at work. Either way This is a really good find on a lip that has been dam near impossible to find.

Masticatingcow, I want to thank you for your efforts, and also reiterate that I am so freakin' in if this is a chuki lip and not a zenki lip.

I did some research and I found part numbers for zenki and chuki Xenon lips. I think these numbers are from Xenon. Not sure tho...

89-90: 51-5251

91-94: 51-5351
