Default Brace yourself...The eBay lip kit is here

I'm actually considering this skipper replica kit. Looks legit minus the rear diffuser. I'm sure the quality is not like the real thing but considering the price...

I have a problem spending $200 on a replica, if I can get the real one for $400 maybe? Do you think it's kind of overpriced?

You should try it and let us know how it fits lol. I'd be interested in the lip and side skirts.

This. I don't mind replica lip kits as long as fitment isn't completely god awful.

I actually have the front lip and rear diffuser ... fitment is actually perfect. No modification was needed and it bolts right up

I have this too and i love it, only running the front lip and customed the sides into a splitter side lip (the sides were hideous). Got it from a local shop. Perfect fitment.

as much as i love the real deals, I don't mind the replica front lips, as long as fitment is good, since it would more than likely get very scratched up. Scratching a Lexon front lip will hurt way more

Exact reason why i chose the replica. Once lowered, the lip/splitter will scratch.

the kit is not a replica at all.
they are using a skipper photo for example for front lip but if you study this actual lip and skipper its nothing alike.
perfect example is boost786 and jkhang714 photos of it on actual car and you will know what i mean. study the two and you will see they are different

The kit is a " AW bodykits & spoiler"

the fitment on the rear diffuser looks really off from their pictures. The exhaust hole cut outs don't look right.

Boost's installed rear diffuser looks spot on

Looks pretty close to me. Any close up guys? I'm sure it varies depending on where you get it or the batch. Debating how I should paint the rear. I wish they had more examples of the sides!
