JDP Evo IX Ralliart CF Lip Copy Thread
The thread has been removed and we ask that those who have deposits please contact the vendor via PM. This thread evolved into a group buy with an unregistered vendor. We have no information (good/bad, location, name etc.) on the vendor and you do so at your own risk. Please respect the rules concerning business with unregestered vendor's on our site. Thanks.

Speedlimit,
I am one of the members involved in the JDP Evo IX Ralliart CF lip replica group buy and understand your concern about members participating in a group buy with an unregistered vendor. I have been a member of evolutionm since 2004, and though I don't really post all that much, I would like to vouch for JDPEngineering as I have done business with them in the past, purchasing a Do-Luck Replica CF lip when I had my stock Evo 8 front bumper setup. John at JDP Engineering does excellent work and produces high quality replicas that rival their authentic counterparts. He really takes care of his customers, has fair prices and provides excellent customer service, shipping items out on time and providing tracking information as soon as the item ships out. I hope JDP will remain a member on these boards and that he will not be punished for any wrong-doing. It was the members who wanted this group buy to happen, and we sought him out and got him involved. As one of the members involved in the group buy, I sincerely apologize for any violations to the forum rules.

We recognized that he was contacted by member's and no punishment was necessary. JDP is reviewing the vendor packages to see if they meet his needs and he is available via PM's to finish any commitments made to members.

You did an awesome job installing the lip. Can you please give others tips on how you went about doing the installation?
Do you have gaps like MR*EVO*VIII?
Thanks,
John

what is up with that indent in the middle of the lip?
btw, thats what you get for not buying a real Ralliart bro.....

is it me, or does it seem like everyone else has less of a gap between the lip and bumper than me? I think I might go back to my SE lip setup

I PM'd you on my fitment...
as far as the best way to fit it. Here is what i did....
When you first initially mount the lip before you predrill the holes... take a look at it with it mounted to ensure it is even and everything is as tight as it is going to go.
Flip it back over, and get some help from a friend a wife a girlfriend a mistress... somebody anybody. Either have them drill or squeeze but hold the lip starting from the center as tightly as you can without putting stress on the CF squeezing the seem together.... meanwhile have your help drill the hole as close to the bottom of the factory holes as possible. Reason behind this is the screws are not bolts... they will hold the lip tight, but wont keep it from sliding. The holes in the factory bumper will keep it from sliding though and if you are at the bottom of that hole, it will have nowhere to slide.
Continue the process starting from the center continuing outward in each direction, one hole at a time. Remount the bumper and you are finished. I havent done it yet but i'd suggest washing the car and waxing the bumper

Yeah I know, that's what I get for not buying a real Ralliart lip. I would buy the real one but who sells them??? So far, no one on the boards has expressed an interest in selling their authentic ones... oh well, I still have my SE lip. And for your information, that 'indent' in the middle of the lip is where the Ralliart logo would go if it were authentic. But of course, a wise guy like yourself would already know that... seeing as how you have the real thing.
