So is it absolutely impossible for any Honda dealer to get use the OEM AP1 lip at this point? Like is there absolutely no stock left anywhere in the world or Japan?

No they are totally discontinued and unavailable. So rare in fact if I were to sell mine, which I wouldn't I wouldn't let it go for less than 1k.

Most are painted Silverstone in color and take a few weeks to get in.

That was one of the routes I was considering, I might have to go that route. Found a guy who was still able to get BNIB OEM Ap1 lips sans GPW...so I would've needed to get it painted. His asking price was the low price of $850 shipped..Had to bow out on that offer lol. If I'm gonna spend $850 I might as well get a CF one for cheaper....Right now I have the RSG Gears lip and I'm not sure how I feel about the looks....I really like the subtle look of OEM.

Is this an overseas thing you're talking about? If so, wish I knew about this a while back. Although I did get a swell deal on mine.

Also too I think there's quite a bit of people hoarding OEM lips. I just find it strange that certain individuals have them or access to them, but at an $850 price point lol. Ultimately I think I'll just suck it up and rock the Gears lip; OEM would be preferable, in my opinion a good-fitting poly rep of OEM would be best, why someone hasn't capitalized on that is beyond me....Take the time to make a proper dimensional mold of an OEM lip so everything lines up as it should....even with a small bit of variance poly is forgiving. I don't think Honda counted on these cars remaining as popular as they have, if anything they've only increased in popularity, there's money to be made by bringing back certain parts, but I'm sure that's piss in the wind for them at this point.

They're available to any one who takes the time and makes the effort to find them. Like I said, they're around $750, if not cheaper. Think about it - a fiberglass Shine Replica Amuse bumper is $550 plus shipping. $750 for an OEM piece is pretty reasonable.

Thanks, glad they are available BUT THAT PRICE IS PAINFUL lol. I can get a J's Racing (second hand FX Pro) or HKS Hi Power (new) for less...
