Common Applications

The 326POWER General Purpose Side Lip Type 1 is suitable for modified vehicles that need additional lower-body styling along the side of the car. Its universal design makes it useful for lowered street cars, drift builds, stance vehicles, show cars, and custom Japanese tuning projects where a vehicle-specific side lip may not be available. Final compatibility depends on the vehicle's side sill shape, length, ride height, surrounding aero components, body condition, and installation method.

326POWER Character

326POWER is closely associated with Japanese low-car culture, aggressive stance setups, drift styling, and distinctive aero components. The General Purpose Side Lip Type 1 reflects this character by combining a low-profile exterior styling element with reinforced construction intended to better tolerate impacts that can occur on extremely lowered vehicles.

General Purpose Side Lip Type 1 Design Notes

The Side Lip Type 1 forms part of 326POWER's General Purpose Type 1 lip series alongside the Front Lip and Rear Lip versions. Rather than being designed for one specific vehicle, the Side Lip is intended to be adapted to suitable vehicles through custom fitting. Its purpose is to extend the lower side profile of the vehicle and create a stronger, lower visual appearance while retaining the characteristic 326POWER tuning style.

Reinforced Resin Putty Construction

One of the main features of the Type 1 lip is its reinforced internal construction. 326POWER explains that conventional aero parts can contain hollow sections, while Type 1 lip spoilers have these areas tightly filled with resin putty. This construction makes the lip less likely to break when subjected to impacts that could damage a typical aero component, making it particularly suitable for lowered and drift-oriented vehicles.

Drift-Oriented Side Styling

The Type 1 series became especially popular within the drift scene because low-mounted aero components are more likely to experience contact with road surfaces, track surfaces, ramps, and other obstacles. The reinforced design of the Side Lip Type 1 helps provide additional durability while also adding a stronger lower-body styling element to the side of the vehicle.

Universal Fitment

The Side Lip Type 1 is a universal product rather than a vehicle-specific side lip. Because side sill length, shape, mounting locations, ride height, and surrounding bodywork vary between vehicles, direct bolt-on compatibility should not be assumed. Custom positioning, trimming, drilling, mounting adjustment, or other fitment work may be necessary depending on the individual vehicle.

Installation and Fitment Notes

The Side Lip Type 1 must be test fitted to the actual vehicle before painting. Side sill length, left-to-right positioning, mounting locations, ground clearance, body gaps, and overall alignment should all be checked before final preparation. 326POWER specifically requires test fitting, alignment adjustment, and vehicle-specific fitment correction before painting. If mounting-hole positions are difficult to align, slight adjustment such as elongated-hole processing may be required during test fitting.

Aero Product Notes

The product is supplied unpainted in a white gel coat finish, and installation and painting are not included. The official product information describes the resin-putty-filled internal construction but does not clearly identify the complete underlying material composition of the Side Lip Type 1, so a specific material should not be stated without further manufacturer confirmation. The product should be inspected, test fitted, aligned, prepared, and painted only after final fitment has been established.

Is this designed for a specific vehicle?

No. It is a universal product rather than a vehicle-specific side lip.

Will it fit every vehicle?

No. Universal fitment does not guarantee direct installation on every vehicle. Final fitment depends on side sill length, body shape, mounting locations, ride height, and the amount of custom fitting required.

What makes the Type 1 construction different?

326POWER explains that sections which would normally be hollow in conventional aero components are tightly filled with resin putty in the Type 1 lip.

Why is the lip filled with resin putty?

The reinforced construction is intended to make the Type 1 less likely to break when subjected to impacts that could damage a typical aero component.

Is the Side Lip Type 1 unbreakable?

No. The reinforced construction is designed to improve resistance to breakage, but the product can still be damaged under sufficient impact.

Why is the Type 1 popular with drift cars?

Lowered drift vehicles expose their lower aero components to a greater risk of contact and impact. 326POWER states that the stronger Type 1 construction made the series especially popular within the drift scene.
