I'm running 19's with 225/35 and DF210's for the drop myself so right now Kevin (Owner of NIA) is thinking of making a lip kit that only extends about 1" past the car. Like I said previously, he tries to make the kits driver friendly.

I like the idea of it being driver friendly. I will be going with a 20" rim so I know I am looking forward to a driver friendly kit but still give me that lower stance with the 20's.

I was thinking of something that would help out. Try to make at least two designs for the Gen2 xB owners to decide from, and the one with the most votes get the approval of production. The more people that get a chance to have a opinion in a decision like this, the more sales would be made because you know its something that the buyer will want.

I'm running the 16" OEM alloy rims right now with the NF210 lowering springs. I like the way it looks, so I'm thinking about staying with 16's when I decide what rims I want. A one-inch lip and side skirts would make it all come together. My B is my daily driver, so I have to watch driveways, speed bumps, and entrances already...I am prepared to be even more cautious. How about a kit that can be put on for shows and removed for daily driving? Maybe a "clip-on" like Dad's Sunday tie? How's that sound?

My box is also a daily driver so a one inch lip kit would be perfect or maybe a lip kit that wouldnt be too low to scrape for people with df210s. Also since the J's lip kit idea was stupid, what about a carbon fiber lip kit for the box? i think it would look nice with a carbon fiber hood and spoiler combo, iono just an idea...

I have a HTM and im thinking something like this would be sweet

Also i hope NIA goes with a lip kit to compliment thier eyelids because those sleepy eyes they have are sick!

Two options would be nice. One in Carbon fiber and one in polyurathane.

I have a CF hood and would also like to get the xgangster CF spoiler and mid wing for the Gen2. The kit offered in a CF option would really tie it all in together.

Alright everyone! I think a front lip design has been decided on. Now comes the parts where the idea gets from mind to paper (easier said than done sometimes LoL!). I think you'll all be impressed!

Hopefully soon, I'll have something to post up for you all!

Thanks again for chimming in!

Update...The design is done for the lip kit...I am trying to get a drwling or picture of the design.

I would like to know if anyone would be interested in ABS or Fiberglass. Kevin said they are trying to keep the price low and sell it at the price range, around $550.00

Ok guys here's the deal. It will still be made. But it will take a little bit longer because they decided to invest in ABS for everything, even the xb kit will be ABS when it is produced. Im guessing after the first of the year. Just a guess though. I think that this was the right move for NIA to better thier product line. I believe its for the best, and also worth the wait.

Here what Kevin wrote me.

We have a little bad news on the lip kit, we either had to go with
investing on making abs plastic products or the xb lip kit in fiberglass.
we decided to go with the abs products, doesnt mean that we wont do the
xb lip kit it just means that it will be down the road, and it will be
done in abs.

I hope this helps out guys. But I do think it will be worth the wait. Look at it this way at least it will be made in ABS...A plus to fiberglass.
