hey all, right now i have the full pdm racing kit on my 92, but the front lip hangs far too low. i have 15in enkei 92 mesh wheels, and i am about to order eibach sportline springs. i need a front bumper to finish the looks of the car. i was thinkin somethin along the lines of the JDM "type x" front. i need something semi-subtle that wont hang too much lower than the sideskirts, considering the side skirts are pretty much the JDM/canadian oem skirts. any suggestions?

JimLecesse- I don't really have any suggestions, but was wondering how the sideskirts and rear apron fit on 240. I'm considering getting those pdm racing parts, but was wondering how they fit and how bad the shipping was. Maybe the simple stock lip from the 89-90 240's would look good.

the rear valance fit almost perfectly. it requires some drilling but thats about it. I had some trouble with the sideskirts, they seemed to bulge out at the corners, but they bolted in nice and with a few sunken screws hidden by body filler, they look perfect. I have the bomex front piece, but its not the PDM version. I had ordered through Bomex a while before buying the PDM rear and sides. that fits awesome, I'm actually sanding it and selling it as soon as I can so tell your friends ;) I actually just picked up a zenki (?) front lip from a junkyard, I'm not sure if I'm going to use it yet. I'm trying to get some pictures online.

Thanks for the response, sounds like you have had success with the skirts and valence. I probably will do the same as already have the stock front lip on my 93 and then add the skirts and valence. BTW, how bad was shipping to your house? I would love to see pics when you get a chance. thanks a lot.

Why not just get the PDM Racing front lip?

I have it, well I have the Bomex version that PDM racing copied. It hangs too low and its fiberglass so its just getting ruined

Ahh, I see. So you'd rather get a whole front bumber?

Anyways, here's my suggestion...

Gracer/Trust Front Bumber Spoiler - :cool:
