no need to spread false and misleading information around. for the last time, the real tte lip is made out of polyeurethane. the tte rep was then made in fiberglass but since there were a bunch of requests for it to be made in polyeurethane, the company (o-nex) decided to make them in polyeurethane, so now we have tte replica's made in polyeurethane and fiberglass.

well, the guy there said he had them special ordered to be made in polyeurethane overseas so you're right on that part. yes, their site clearly specializes in HID kits but i was at their store in person. they sell lips, junction produce acccessories, air fresheners, HID kits, etc.
on the same note.. i've been to a company that specializes in audio (Al & Ed's Autosound), but they also do exhaust work, sell rims, body/interior work, engine work, hardwire laser detectors, etc.

I went to pick this lipkit up with xtreme626 and it was alright. The indention of the line on the lip isn't consistent throughout the whole lip but can fix it pretty easily by sanding it. Probably the lip is gonna be put on Ngooo car on saturday/sunday.

I think that's false. The replicas didn't pop up until about 1-2 years after TTE discontinued the lip. It wasn't too much to begin with anyways, I think around $350 or so(when they were still distributing here). The replicas are only about $100 cheaper and of inferior material. I'm sure if they were making replicas at the same time the real TTE was readily available, most people would of opted to buy the real thing.

So, is this the source of the urethane lip:

Would like to see pictures of one of these installed. The argument for real vs replica is BS when the company no longer makes them and gouged you on the price originally.
In my miata days, Mazda charged $375 for the same type of lip that could easily be duplicated with Home Depot garden border stripping. I'll take the $11 Home Depot job that looks IDENTICAL to OEM any day of the week if you are going to charge me $375 for a piece of bolt-on plastic. Check the BMW forums, and you will see people are doing the same thing there.
You might have an argument if we are talking about those who buy 442 Clones, SS Clones, GT350 Clones, etc. and diluting the market. But we are talking about a stupid piece of 4" plastic.
