Custom airwalker lip to fit usdm bumper. Had a friend at TNA custom mold it to fit our usdm bumpers. Had a couple of them made. It fits pretty snug

Well spend 150-175 to get a MUGEN and CTR lip and somebody else can spend more to get a AIRWALKER Rep lip. Theres only 5 made including the one on my car.

Yea that's the one. I see your in BP...I stay there as well.

[Distance]

isnt the real lip like 550 shipped from showstopper lol.

[whatsvtec]

Legal alternative? :shrug:

Why only 5? What's the material?

[PatrickJamesYu]

It sticks too far out on the sides for me
I guess that's why it's a replica, right?

i don;t need/want to spend money on a rep lip. i already had an authentic walker lip on my ep for a short while. i did say that the rep looks good. i'm just saying that rep lips are usually significantly cheaper.

Apologies if what I said came in a little aggressive. I also have the authentic lip as well. This is just my daily lip (LA has some f@#& up roads) But I agree they should be cheaper. 360 is set price for now since there is only a couple made.

[Danielsle]

But you have to also take into account the pricing for a JDM bumper and JDM rebar. So overall you'd be saving yourself money by doing the replica lip if you were to go that way. Just like how you significantly save money on the replica TypeR and Mugen lips.

No need to buy a jdm rebar. Mod the usdm one or run without. It's easy to find a jdm bumper for a reasonable price. I'm not here to bash on the op. I just wanna see how they came up with the price.


Edit: need more pics of the product

[ep-unit]

I wish a rep 0405 Ctr front lip was made...

[gtolio]

Any time small quantities of a product are made, the price is going to be higher. Everything it took to develop this is spread across 5 units, instead of 500 or 5000.

Just saying.

If you don't like, you don't bai. :mbiggrin:

This.

Research, development and production take time and money. And for something that there is only 5 of? Jesus... The reason other reps are crack head cheap is because there is thousands of them in existence, and can be pumped out like there's no tomorrow.

People ask for things and then bitch when they get it...lol.

Kudos to the OP for making it happen, and it actually looks like a decent piece.

Blasphemy when you speak of a replica.

Honestly the point of a rep is to get a much cheaper version then the actual product not just slightly cheaper,... I feel like im on ebay lol. I think its great some guy (not the op) made it, it opens the door to a new product for the ep which rarely happens nowdays.

[makavelibranded]

Also the point of this thread I assume was to get buyers and feedback so the maker can collect feedback, and the community has responded.

They just came up with the price out of their head.
It's the only usdm air walker rep avail, so they basically control the market.
Same thing with SSR's replica JDM bumpers

[PatrickJamesYu]

Tell your cousin to make 20 more, and sell them for 200 each.
They'd sell.

Ok, so that's the market.

Simple economics will show that if in fact his price is above that which the market is willing to pay, he will lower his price until it meets demand at the equilibrium point.

Wow LOL

[RHDmeatwagon]

I think the fact that its a replica shouldn't kill the price. The fact that it gives your more options without buying a jdm front is HUGE imo. If you don't want a replica then go all out and buy a JDM front and then the lip on top of that.

To the OP tell your friend it looks like he did an awesome job and props for going out on a limb to create something to switch up the market a little bit for different pockets. Also there are a handful of people that thing the jdm front is hideous but if they like the look of the airwalker lip its now an option for them. The people who understand the time and quality in the products shouldn't have an issue spending a smidge more.


Compare your ctr rep lips next to this and you should be able to realize why its a little more.


should definitely try and snag some more pics man and seal the deal. GLWS

[civictype_r04]

Looks awesome but to much for my pockets! Lol

For 200 bucks id buy it; but too expensive right now...

[Blah1219]

I would say a groupbuy of 20 at a price of $250. Do the math 5 at $400 is $2000 which could take some time to sell. Get a groupbuy for 15-20 at $250 could yield $3750-5000 and sell at a decent time. I would be down! Also do some combo shipping to communities to save on shipping. If you do the math, you can make quick money.

Just by the picture? lol
All the replica lips has the problem, because the stock bumper doesn't have negative space for the lip to go.
And since there is no negative space, all the replica lips stick out too much.
I can see it in the picture, and I can also see it in the updated pictures.

Since the lip goes over the stock bumper, it sticks out too much.
I think for an airwalker rep usdm lip to have a near perfect fit, it would have to be a design that requires you to cut out half the bumper, and the lower grill thing by the foglights
but that's pretty unrealistic sales wise.
I mean the Mugen rep lip already has people weary about cutting holes in their front bumper.

It's just me being picky, I'm not bashing on these or anything




Bump, get this thing painted and some high quality pictures

[MajorJones]

:( i don't like the idea of the walker rep. the only reason i love the walker lip is cause you need the JDM bumper to run it. keeps it more exclusive IMO.

[PRODIUS]

I could plow snow with that lip and make enough money to pay it off!
" That name again is Mister Plow!

Nice workmanship and finish.

[gtolio]

Looks pretty clean except for on the left side. There is a little bit of a gap.

For those with 2 sets of wheels (1 show, 1 daily) The same can be had now too. USDM for Daily and JDM for shows. I'd buy it if I had the $$

This

[BP_ALL DAY]

Talked to my cousin and he's willing to do a group buy. If we can gather up 20 ppl willing to buy the lip for 250- 260+shipping Just let me know if you guys are down. Remember we need to make more. So it will take about 6 weeks to make but we do have 4 in stock as of right now.

[powdbyrice]

once again, the dope stuff becomes available AFTER i sell my ep.

Id buy for that price if I didint already have a cf typr r lip,.. im sure they will sell at that,.. if he looks at it like this he has a 1 up on the mugen lip, you get an agressive look minus having to chop your bumper up.

[AKEP]

250-60 picked up, im down. sign me up.

[BP_ALL DAY]

250-60 picked up, im down. sign me up.

We need all your contact info including email, facebook page, home address, and copy of drivers license. This way the Admins know you are legit and we have your info if contact is needed.


OP has 24 hours to contact Mary, Wes, or Golan or the thread will be CLOSED and deleted. As soon as I see them post in here, I will know it has been taken care of.....

[BP_ALL DAY]

Apologies I haven't started the group buy yet as I do not have a comp to do so. Its kind of hard to browse the web on a phone. But will contact administrators as soon as I hop on a comp.

[BP_ALL DAY]

[charles]

The lip looks good. Thumbs up

[lemonhead228]

Damn I always wanted one of these. Mad props for your cousin. It's looks legit

Quite steep, $460 shipped.. Almost the cost of a real one.

[junevtec]

i got my lip kit for $425 shipped lol
Agreed. you can get a whole showstoppers lip kit for cheaper...shipped

Yup. Give it a few months. It'll come down when they make more and realize its an asinine amount of money for a REPLICA on a USDM bumper lol

[BP_ALL DAY]

guys....when talking about the price take into consideration of just buying a lip and only the lip for your USDM bumper. if actually wanna compare prices with authentic you have to think about JDM bumper + rebar + airwalker lip or if you are thug life just JDM bumper + airwalker lip. If you have a JDM bumper than this lip is not for you.

And also price is gonna be way cheaper if group buy gets approved by admin.

I'll agree your argument is valid
But, this is only a lip.
You're comparing a single lip (usdm airwalker), to a lip/bumper/rebar combo (the JDM stuff).
It's a valid argument but it's only to try to hype the USDM Air Walker more.
Compare them equally.

I'm sure they'd sell
Message the admins.
I forgot where, but there should be a list of admins
Or post in the 'stupid question thread' and ask for an admin to PM you

this. your gouging prices because you know people will want to buy it, and its the only option besides going jdm. if someone wants a real airwalker, they need jdm bumper and/or rebar. about a grand in bumper material before they pick up a $500 lip. (dont forget, we're also switching markets, a jdm bumper in jdm land is only ~$250, its shipping that makes it $800)

what your doing is putting a replica lip on a not so rare bumper that needs no modification, while producing the lip domestically. that is your target market whether you like it or not. but you have the right to sell it at whatever price you want, and i bet if you start these at $400 a piece (regardless of gb) you'd sell only a few. and as you dropped prices through time people would be buying them more readily. until they become whored out like mugen replicas for $120 a piece, or whatever it costs for material by then.

just don't forget who your targets are, we're cheap ass ep owners and we're pretty tough on the replica vs real scene. you may be the only airwalker replica producer, but you still have competition with type r and mugen replicas for the usdm bumpers. i wouldn't mind paying a premium for a airwalker, but you'd have to consider the replica market prices for those other lips. $400 for yours vs $120 shipped all day for others. my limit on a "premium" price is set to about twice as much for another replica.

but like i said, its your right to price it how you want. thats your business. those of us that want it bad enough will pay for it. thats how the market works.

even iphones go down in price with time.

[ep3jd]

$300 shipped is the absolute MOST I will pay for this. I'll gladly wait until the price goes down. I'm lucky to be 1/10 of the local ep3s and 1/2 of the nice ones. So I know I'll still be fly as hell with this lip, even if I wait a year to get it.
