Default Best replica ap2 front lip?

Sorry to start a new thread when i'm sure this has already been posted a million times, but i'm tired of searching and most of the post are old and the ebay sellers aren't there anymore. I'm wanting to buy a replica ap2 front lip but I want to know what ebay seller has good fitment on their lips. If anyone could please tell me which ebay seller they used and how the fitment was or send me a link, I would greatly appreciate it, thank you!

Bayson R . They use a full sized box and don't fold it when shipping. Just make sure when you paint it you use the flex agent so the paint doesnt spider crack like mine did

I purchased one from urethane-king. It does not come with the mounting holes drilled and there were spots along the top edge and the corners that needed sanding to be smooth. The mounting hardware consists of 4 screws for the wheel well and 4 pieces of metal you are supposed to rivet onto the lip. The fitment is fine except for the corners, it is much more wedge shaped than corner shaped. It does flex so it will look decent once it is secured, but it will make it more difficult to install.

If I were to do it again I would go OEM. After the cost of the lip, lip molding, decent hardware, tape, and paint you are over $200. If you have it painted it is probably $250-300.

The day after I ordered mine and the other parts somebody listed an OEM in my cars color for $200.

Does the lip that Bayson R sells come with mounting holes on the bottom and side?

Just buy an OEM one. I just got a replica for $65 shipped. 140 to have it painted. $18 for the weather strip to make it look legit, then I fought with it for a night to get it on because fitment was mediocre. Then add it wont last nearly as long as an OEM one with OEM paint and you realize it doesn't pay to cheap out on it.

Unless you have a hook up for painting, the just buy an oem one.

get the oem while you can. I have a bunch of authentic parts on my car and only one replica and as good as my mugen rep looks its a pain in the ass to keep quiet or fit right... Get oem or authentic preferably...
