but thats the thing i think some of the people are trying to say....if u **** it up just once....it will cost you more to have it replaced/repaired and to fix the bumper than it would of to have gotten a real TTE which would take the damage and not require being fixed

Buying a replica of a readily available part is different than getting a replica of a extremely hard to find part

Yea, a majority of the people who do sell them won't ship. The few who will ship, have about 10 people fighting to get it. I'm gonna rock the replica and hopefully the real ones will become more readily available.

I live in Europe (Estonia) and yesterday I got an answer from our local Toyota dealer regarding TTE lip, well they said that the part is available but it would cost me 4300 estonian krones + taxes, which is about 350$ + 64$ in taxes, which makes it more than 400 dollars for a lip that requires painting and fitting 
So there you go, real TTE lip for people who live in Europe but for ridiculous money! (bare in mind that in Estonia our salaries are twice or even more smaller than yours in US)

Here is a part of the reply from VIS guys:
" Dear Valued Customer:
Your estimate shipping price is $ 850 (might be higher depending on your exact location; door to airport service). If you would to get an exact quote, please reply back with a complete physical address. "
850??? for shipping replica TTE lip to Estonia
, for this type of money people bring whole cars to Europe! Maybe they meant to write 85?

Ok, someone please tell me where I can get this lip for under $200. Only place I've found it was on the VIS website for $279, but I'm reading that some of you seen/bought it for $140-170.

I made a ghetto adapter plate. I drilled a piece of wood into the bumper. And used a screw/washer to screw the lip into the piece of wood that is attached to the bumper. ... its ghetto, but its not visible to the naked eye so its cool 
it holds the lip on pretty tight and yeah the fitment is pretty damn perfect for a replica lip.
