Okay! Well that changes everything. If anybody would be interested in the JDM factory lip replica for the 89+ Supra please add your name to the list below. And just so those who aren't familiar with the JDM lip know, its virtually the same as the USDM one but with vents and ducts for the brakes. I'm not sure how Shine will handle the ducting part of the lip but this is what the lip looks like with the vents:

They could make US spec ones as well, using basically the same mold. Bet they'd sell a lot now that they are discontinued.
I'd would also like to mention that the list is purely for gauging interest only. Contacting Shine and seeing if they would even like to take on the project must also happen.
if its $250 for the jz lip and the ducts put me on the list. $250 for the us lip seemed a little high to me tho

I was thinking probably $175-200 for the usdm lip would be feasible. The jdm lip its hard to tell ive never seen one up close so idk what all it entails, I dont know how hard it would be to make the ducts and all.
Got to remember shipping costs wont be so cheap with them, and that adds to the total cost for just the lip, plus whatever finish it comes in, itll probably need to be sanded and painted so that also adds to the cost of the lip. All this for a lip that is just a replica of the factory one.
I have the jza70 lip, and its in pretty good shape, but i wouldn't mind having a fresh replacement.
Dont think id want it in fiberglass; i'd rather it be oem style urethane/abs, for impact resistance.

The front end is so low on these cars, I don't think Shine would have any problem selling just as many of these as the other styles they offer if they added them to their lineup, Japan and US spec.
So from what I understand of those interested in a JDM replica OEM lip its:

I'd also like to remind everyone that this was just an idea of mine based on what Shine has done for us in the past with regards to making parts if there is enough interest (15 people committing to buy). I have NOT brought this up with Shine Auto. I also want to note that it's been months since this thread has been created so who knows who is actually still interested in making this happen. There are only 8 people who seem interested and if anybody else is please add your name to the list. I will then contact Shine myself to see what can or cannot be done.
It also helps if you can add your name to the list yourself rather than having one person left to sift through all of the posts, deciphering if someone really is interested, and copying and pasting everyone's name. Here is how you can do that:
