I was looking at the same lip on ebay. 149.99 + 200 for shipping wondering the same thing. I don't wanna risk it. I strongly believe it the "You get what you pay for" saying. When I bought my wheels I almost went with rotas, but I figured for a few mundrted more I can get Volks, the real thing. I'd heard so many horror stories about rotas and didn't want to risk it. I'd rather buy quality parts from a manufacturer that stands behind their work. Rexpeed has one. PM them on here and thay'll give you a quote shipped. I think it was like 420. Or J's Aero has one as well. They make great quality parts, but I believe they're out of stock. Hope this helps.

So carbon fiber is much different then my fiberglass front lip. If you do go with CF, then I definately would recommend a brand that is known NOT to yellow or fade. THat does not have to be a super expensive one though. DO the research and see which ones hold up. You dont have to spend a fortune to get quality stuff. If you want to get it painted the color of your ride, then the cheaper Ebay lip like I got is perfect.
William (03evo4g63) is full of crap. I know him personally. He's acting like he opted for the VOLK wheels over the ROTAs. I agree that VOLKS are quality products and would be great to have, but William did not spend the "price" for those VOLKS. He got them used. His used price for the VOLKS were just a couple of hundred $ more then the ROTAs are new. SO yeah that was a no-brainer. Get the VOLKS. William you sitiuation does not apply here. Unless he can get a used expensive brand CF lip then your advice does not hold. Thanks for playing though.

But regardless of that I agree with Will about paying for $70 more for the REXPEED CF lip over the EBAY one. The Rexpeed one is proven and has a good quality record. a $70 difference is NOT a lot to ensure good quality.
However if you were just going for a fiberglass one to get it painted, then I stand by my decision of buying the EBAY less expensive one.

WIlliam, bud you are changing your story. Look at your quote above.

I think they all get it from same vendor in china or philiphin or where ever.
Expensive brand name is not always better than cheap brand.
Its really funny rally art lip became Rexpeed lip, JDP lip, etc.
and people talk $hit about when they come out with replica of voltex, varis, greddy etc.
BTW if i were u I would get 2 ebay lips for price of one.
