Lol no sarcasm was serious I really don't want to invest in this car anymore as I'm looking for another car since I got rear ended. Once a car is rear ended i don't want it.

Cannot beat that price. Looks great. I think I'm going to get one of these now. Was the paint job pretty easy to do?

For the most part yes. I had a bug fly into my paint on the 2nd coat which sucked but all is well now esp if you have a little bit better paint booth

320 grit fast sand, clean with rubbing alchohol, paint per can directions (I did 3 layers) and then clean per can directions, I did 2.

So im curious...... If you really want to get rid of the car, then why buy anything else for it...?
Just a thought...

& coming form a guy who owns a Lexon Carbon Fiber front lip that Rep Lip doesn't look bad @ all... & it didnt take you 2-4 months to get....

Just got my skipper replica lip, i have to say i am thoroughly impressed with the fit. I was worried it would look cheap and ruin the car but once mocked up... oh lawwwd I'm obsessed. Currently drying in my make shift paint booth (basement). Although i appreciate the real deal authentic ones, i just see no reason to spend 800 bucks when i got this for 80..

Because I have to wait for them to find the gsf I want since they seem to have sold out of what I want, also ain't payin full sticker for gsf. Also need something for summer shows.

Paint dried and I was unhappy with a few spots so I attemptwd to fix them and notice the paint I used didnt hold onto the material well so I scraped it all off and started over. I opted to try to wrap it will 3M 1080 gloss black vinyl since I have some left from my rear window spoiler wrap and I am very happy with the results. For the price and simplicity of rewrapping if I scrape it vs paint, this MAY be the best bet....
