Default Ebay Lip

$80 shipped for lip, $60 shipped for base and midcoat (paintscratch.com, highly recommended), $10 for primer and clear. + 5 hours of my time = I've had some low quality Greddy lips before that felt about the quality of this lip, but we shall see how the urethane holds up to the test of time. Not as good as real OEM, but the fitment is good.

Before

Basecoat

Midcoat

Finito



That is all.

No it fit well. I'm not too anal, so I suppose a perfectionist might want slightly better. Had to squeeze to get it on, fits snug, but once it was on, it fits well. Kinda flimsy, but it's gonna get the piss beat out of it anyways

I used to have an Ebay lip (polyurethane) on my car. Fitment actually wasn't too bad, however there was a gap at the top portion of the lip (near air vents). This probably could have been fixed with double tape. Another issue I had with it was that since the lip is so flexible, most paints tend to chip off in big portions whenver the lip got hit by something. OEM is by far the best way to go, but for the price, the ebay one isn't bad.

I have an ebay lip. It was kind of a PITA to install because it was a bit short. If it wasn't 15degrees outside when I installed it, it wouldn't have been an issue. It was just too cold that it wouldn't stretch enough. I was able to force it on and I think it looks good. Better than spending $350 for a Honda lip.
