I think you should paint, because it'll look off and dull.

^ That ebay guy seems pretty legit, but still unsure of quality..

hmmm yeah, i agree with you there. Fortunately i'm not in a rush or anything, just looking.

I'll have to check out how much it'll cost me to get it painted though, it definitely would look cleaner.

With the ebay seller just make sure they say in the listing that they ship it in a box the lip fits in not all folded up. That way there is minimal amounts of warping. I have bought lips for my civic off ebay and stuck to this rule and they always fit fine. Also buy some of the oem weather stripping for it.

front lip

^ I ended up buying this front lip with a price match of $47 flat. The feedbacks on this lip seem to be pretty good and plus I was on the cheap side lmao. UPS is saying the scheduled delivery is this upcoming Friday, but it could earlier. I'm not sure if it would or would not because the scheduled delivery is apparently on Friday with the "4 business day left" crap, so they could possibly take their time delivering my front lip lol.. I also bought the OEM front lip weatherstrip from hardtopguy so that'll be coming in before the lip.

Yeah i saw that one too. Well keep us updated on the fitment and quality when you get it. Put up some pictures if you can?

Sucks for me my shipping charges to Canada are more than the cost of the lip lol.

Lol well I got some pretty interesting news ordering from that eBay guy. The box says magicdrift.com haha. My link

The fitment was a bit off, but I'm sure a body shop could fix it especially since I know nothing about all this warped and etc it said on the instruction paper. It came with 4 sets of screws and told us to use 3M tape and I think they were trying to say also use OEM weatherstrip which I bought from hardtopguy. But so far the lip looking pretty good. It has a smooth black finish to it unlike the previous one I bought from supernation off of ebay, but then again that one would have ended up with a good fitment too because I found out I could have just used a heatgun or get a body shop to fix it on the sides of the bumper for being too small. Anyways for a price match of $47 it seems like a pretty good deal to me especially since it came from magicdrift when they were charging me $70 and I got it from him for $47 w/ price match .

hmmm not bad not bad. Looks pretty good so far. The minor fitment you mentioned could be easily fixed i'm sure as overall it seems to fit on nicely. If you don't mind me asking you did you use for the price match?

Oh and that magic drift was a pretty nice coincidence haha. Thanks for the review!
