Default Big-Win quality?

I inquired to my friend about this kit who lives in Japan as I wanted to get it. He said shipping will be the big set back. He also gave me some advice, DON'T buy from that Big-Win company. There kits fit like crap and will need to refiberglass to make it fit. Too bad, I liked it, but not worth it to ship over if it fits like crap. I'm straight. But maybe I could be wrong, maybe it's only certain kits that don't fit good.

That probably explains the reason behind their low price.

How about if you take that lip and turn it into the Urethane material. Will that fix the shietty fitment problem?

That would be choice. Get the lip, fix it if it needs to be fitted properly to oem specs. Then make the mold for production.

making a mold is expensive. Economically it's not worth it. You're probably better off getting the lip , and then just glass it to fit.

In a perfect world I'd rather there not be so much of a slant on the lip, but I could deal with it.

I paid about $1250 excluding shipping.
That 600 is Japan market price... You need to add shipping and other fees(custom, etc.).

Im not sure you could only get the lip... but you can contact Steve Ganz (l-tunedparts.com) and see if he can but I highly doubt it.
