    Yesterday we took out 07 sti ltd to asheville, nc for our 6th anniversary.
    In a fit of spontaneity after lunch we found a secluded flat spot and
    too the sti out for a "spin" Wow! Serious fun! Unfortunately,
    the front lip popped off and folder back :( I had pull the rest of it off
    or it wouldn't be safe to drive. Actually I think it looks better!
    There is already a lip that matches the body color. Does the bottom
    black lip really help it much?

    The $500 lip you destroyed if only specific to the Limited edition STis...and i do not think its much of an aero help item...

    pfft warranty
    I hate posting here
    It's a rally machine. it's meant to eat dirt.
    Thing the lip is covered under warrant?

    Err.. that lip is limited specific??!??!

    it's not quite destroyed.. I think it can go back on fine... it just bent back.
    it's surprising how soft and flexible the material is.

    If there's a defect, the lip would be covered under the 3/36...but, its going to be really obvious if it was broken by road debris/curb/etc....or in your case, some off road excursion.

    If the limited lip is a v-limited lip type design, then it supposidly affects aero by reducing nose lift.

    Nice! I've yet to have the balls to take my wagon off the road yet - the thought of digging dirt & mud out of my suspension a year from now frustrates me beyond reason! Haha - so kudos to having the balls to "play in the dirt again"!
