Default 50 dollar front lip? POS ?

my s2000 has lots of paint issues near bottom of front lip. Looking to buy a Polyurethane Front lip to mostly cover up all the scratches and chips. Dont want to spend too much. Has anyone purchased a cheap one from ebay?? Is it worth it or not?. Not gonna paint it. Car is Y52 spa Yellow.
thanks

The lip is cheap it is paint that will cost you more. Most got with the Bayson r lip on ebay.

If I were you I'd look around for a used spa yellow oem lip and spend the little bit of extra money for an already painted one that you won't have any fitment issues with

Have heard very good things from the rep AP1 lip BaysonR sells on eBay, but nothing beats OEM

I bought a $50 AP1 lip on Amazon. Fitment is good except one of the corners sticks out just a tad, but not a big deal.

My 0.02, GET IT PAINTED. Seriously. The S2000 is a nice car, especially in spa yellow. I took mine to my local community college and paid $80 for it to get painted. Paint matches "almost" perfectly, which is fine because I'm wrapping the car anyways. The $80 or so you'll spend will make the car look MUCH better.

Have a peek at this thread, I have posted pictures of an AP2 and an AP1 Bayson R lip installed and another member posted one of his car. Not OEM but very good fitment for the price although the finishing and paint is what will be the bulk of the cost.
