This might clear up a few things...
The GReddy brand name is an arm of Trust Japan. GReddy USA is the official US affiliate designated to import and distribute GReddy products in the US. They are NOTORIOUS for short-ordering products to maintain demand and to justify their pricing. (Which isn't so horrible, the pricing) The problem is that there are many parts that are on constant back-order and GReddy USA never completely fulfills the list. GReddy is also not very friendly unless you are a dealer, so anyone that wants special order ETAs and such is forced to go through their local dealer, as shady as they may or may not be.
The GReddy lips are composed of a special hardened urathane, it is less flexible than, say, a Wings West kit. This makes it very durable up to the point that it snaps. In my opinion I would rather have a fiberglass lip because it is easy to repair and repaint. When the urathane flexes it always leaves spiderweb patterns in the paint that are a pain in the butt to repair.
Please contact Ethan, s/n: Static911, about advertising and or becoming a vendor. Thanks

So far Im thrilled with my Greddy lip.I have an angled driveway that I scrape a little no matter how I go out.Its been on about three months now and I havent seen any spiderwebs just the obvious paint scrape.Im about to drop it about 1.5 and go 19;s on a fat setup so Ill see how that turns out(fingers crossed).And yes its pretty low even stock..

The only way GReddy can come after you is through copyright infringement. Believe it or not, they may own some copyright in the design of this thing. Especially if you make a mold of out it and end up copying this thing inch for inch. However, I doubt their business model includes agressively going after knock-offs, since there's so many Trust knockoffs everywhere.
If you do mold-copy this thing, you may be exposed to liability. Just letting you know. But for me, I hope you do copy it. Will only serve to drive down the price of GS parts even more.
