I am seriously sick and tired of hearing people say this. He asked for an opinion from somebody that has bought and or experienced the product first hand. Who cares if its a 30k dollar car? Some people like to save money and not waste it on a "Name"

Its no different than buying an off brand can of corn at the grocery store, 90% of the time its made in the same damn place. Taste the same and is half the price!

my friend has the baysonr lip and it looks really good. the lip came with predrilled holes, something you probably want to ask the ebay vendors about when browsing

$150 for shipping is insane. A lip weighs nothing. It might be a good product cause they make all there money on shipping

Thanks very much! Its just a lip so the name brand, to me, is irrelevant. I have a Streetconcepts R1 lip that has been though hell and back. Been repaired and painted several times. This lip that I am looking for is going on my girls IX, and she definetly couldn't care less.

The only other lip that I would consider paying a little extra would be the APR.

And thanks to the rest of you that posted positive and informative remarks.

theres a reason that cf lip only costs $250....
you get what you pay for, when you buy cheap crap, you will find out

i wouldnt be surprised if the lip doesnt fit well, doesnt have a good weave or the clear coats starts getting cloudy real soon

generally speaking, I agree that you shouldnt cheap out on ebay parts, but i have the ebay lip from baysonr (seller name on ebay) and fitment is 8/10. For something that will be getting beat up often from debris, speed bumps and driveways, its MORE than good enough quality and fitment. it attaches with self tapping screws and requires no drilling. all you do is remove the stock lip, throw this one on.

i love when people give their opinions not based on their own experiences, instead on stereotyping ebay as crap.
