And eBay sellers "mywholesalegarage" and "r1creation" are selling quality AP1 OEM replica lips that fit well and are shipped without being bent? I noticed that both of these sellers have multiple listings for what appears to be the same lip; the listing titles are just different. And they're all the same price. I wonder what's up with that? Do either of these include the mounting hardware? I assume none of them include the weatherstrip, so I'll have to buy that from Honda.

There's just so much crap on eBay, I want to pick one that people have had good luck with. Since the front lips are so vulnerable to being scraped on driveways and curbs, and these are so inexpensive, I may pick up 2 just so I have an extra. Red paint isn't cheap, so I might as well have them paint 2 of them while they have it mixed up.

Any other insight or recommendations you guys have are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I ordered a AP1 front lip from baysonr a couple months back. Not satisfied. I even included a note to him to please ship with a full size box. However, it was shipped all bent up in a shorter box than the lip's length. To make it worse, the lip wouldn't get back in shape! I tried heat gun, hair dryers, set it in the sun, etc. There was no way I could get it to fit right.

Gonna try ordering from either R1creation or Group A Motoring now.

Noticed not a single fitment pic has been posted so I will share mine. Previous owner had a mild collision with debris that had fallen off the truck in front of him and he replaced the Front bumper and OEM style front lip off eBay and ill say both fit pretty well. Here ya go.

Sorry for delay, no mounted pics, but shipment pictures. One edge seems to flare out more, will see how it mounts up hopefully this weekend...came with screws, but no tape.

Wait, you can't upload images on this site??

Just got mine back from paint as my vinyl guy decided to take a nose dive on his sb while bombing a hill (idiot). Will hopefully mount this evening if I get a chance
