Yay or Nay
This looks like an awesome deal. Its the exact front lip i want and its painted, so i dont have to go through the hassle of getting it painted when it gets delivered. I do not have the money to buy an authentic lip kit, so this seems perfect. Any input?

thats $85
then paint would be $100
thats only 185 and you could install it yourself. very easy!

not sure if you are looking at my link, but its 199 for the painted front lip. And I believe its around 600-700 dollars for an authentic lip.

Haha, ALWAYS look at the SHIPPING $$$ too lol. I hate ebay sellers lowering their product price while jacking up the shipping cost. To avoid all this, I look at the FINAL cost including shipping to make my purchase decision on eBay.
I agree with metaleckz, I think $80 for unpainted part + $100 for paint + $20 3M tape = $200 or so. Even for body shop to paint and installation, I think it runs around $250-350 total including part.

Ebay tries their best to do away with sales with crazy high shipping costs when compared to the product's ctual cost; but seeing it's from overseas, they can get away with it. But still, like others said, you can get the same lip and paint it by a local auto body shop for less.
Keep in mind these replica lips usually don't fit that well; so you'll encounter gaps between the top of the lip and the front bumper cover more than likely :

The authentic front lip is about $800. Paint shops rares are $90/hr. it takes a few hours including prep and test fitting. So his thought of $350 was cheap.
