Hey guys,

I'm looking for a front lip for my nc, i kkowbtheres a gv one but imo it looks shite on the NC so suggestions and where to buy them is appreciated.

I also despise the chrome rear tail lights, does anyone know where i can get a set of lights for the nc that look like the nc or nb lights?

I have it on my car and i love it!

As for tail lights, dont think there is anything available..you can always use a red film like the US guys do

May I suggest the Stage 21 front lip. I had it on my NC for about a week before I ripped it off on a gutter.

^ that lip looks the business but $1500 aud... i mean common for a lip?

As for the lights, i have got some Laminx red film, IMO looks nice but needs to be applied properly.

I have done the fog lights in yellow which looks good.

Are you in sydney? Is there a place that'll be able to do a perfect job for me? Or I can buy us some beer and we can make an arvo out of it haha

The lip looks good, there's a cheaper frp version too but still happy to look at other choices before making a decision

Shipping of the lip will be more than the lip itself. So it will be expensive. I've looked into lips for 5 months lol.

As for the tinting, carbon_demon can do the job at a good price. His on the forums with a full cf wrapped mx5 nc. Located on the north shore

I am like you and hate the crystal tails of the NC1, maybe you could hunt down some NC2 lights if they fit (not sure) but it would probably end up quite expensive.

P.S can anyone tell me what that antenna is?

Surely there's cheaper shipping carriers than that if this is the case...

I mean, you can get a GV lip shipped to your door for sub-$300 so even if the GV lip costs only $1, then the shipping cost of a similar item would only be $299.

Is the CF lip $1200+?... :shock:

I think the cf lip is around 700-800 and shipping falls to be around 600? I could be wrong though

FYI the full red tail lights are illegal and I'm sure Michael aka carbon.demon will inform you of this
