    Default anyone deal with ebay front lips?

    i was wondering if anyone has bought from this company. i have a $1500 del sol that i would like to make look a lil better without breaking the bank! i dont want the "Home Depot Lip" nor the actual $300 Mugen lip. the replica will do me just fine!



    im looking to see if it;
    fits good
    is short or long
    (short - real close to bumper/ long - a long extension of the bumper)
    has any problems out of the box
    ...etc...

    comments?

    Ive purchase a few parts in the past that were "replicas" and its been hit or miss. Generally, just look at the sellers feedback, if they have tons of "Great Product" type feedback, then Id go for it. At worse you may run into some fitment issues

    I dont have any personal experience with them but was considering getting one for the subaru since they're cheap and WILL be destroyed with all of the ****ty roads around town.

    Fitment will be crap, price will be great, quality will be iffy. For a front lip on a car thats not a show car it sounds like a good deal.

    At least they're cheap enough to toss away if it fits bad. Still worth the money if you're on a budget.

    yes but real polyurethane wouldnt break 5000 lil. if you did hit something goin 15 miles. i have tried to what would happen with my jdm itr lip and no comparison which shows you that the most of the lips that they sell arent really polyurethane. just plastic. i could be any happier having a reall lip instead of that egay garbage!
