thats a genuine J's lip. i should know. that used to be MY lip but sold it to another member who then sold it to FastTimesAtFGHigh which is the car in that picture, not steezy.
Oh, I thought it was Steezy's.
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing since there are no FGs in Japan. It's like a splitter/lip in one but it's labeled as a lip.
So let me get this straight, you guys who haven't been here for almost 5 years think you know more than me about the lip to which I bought the one in the above picture which came in a J's Racing box?
Furthermore none of you have searched.
Furthermore, did you know when the Si first came out, Honda gave a handful of them to aftermaket companies to mod and to show off at SEMA. One of the companies had J's make that lip specifically for the FG.
Furthermore, you are newbs.
Furthermore, there are FGs in Japan. They were imported. Google FG2 vs FD2.
So I did a little bit of research. Went to a local shop, had him speak to his supplier and inquire with J's in Japan.
Apparently what happened is J's never did make this for the FG as the FG is not in Japan, however they did make it for the FA1. When they were asked to design an FG for Honda, they tried to see if the FA1 J's wing would fit. It did. They never released it as an FG product, however did sell the FA1 wing to North American companies who then began to sell them for the FG because they fit.
The A&J racing one was legit, however because they were no longer authorized to sell J's parts because they sold the J's "special edition" exhaust. The J's lips were legit (assuming they weren't selling the replicas)
Had my friend who owns a local performance shop contact J's, they told him they will make one (as they custom make these) and ship it to him. It is not intended to be for the FG, however they do surprisingly fit.
So don't know if this helps the debate anymore? However I decided to try and figure out some more info on the subject. Like the look of it, but not decided whether I'm sold on it, whether replica or authentic.
Ive heard that the lip will fit on the FG2 WITH the HFP lip already on there but i can't find a picture anywhere. Does anyone have any insight on this? I think i would look pretty good plus the added down force.
