Not anymore, I believe they're now sold out. There may be one more remaining but fairly certain it's gone.

Not sure why the price is such an issue when a fiberglass Amuse bumper is $1400 and still needs work to fit.

But that's for a whole bumper, not just a lip. We shouldn't be surprised about OEM prices though. We know we can trust their quality and fitment at the end of the day and there's the added effect of knowing you've got an actual OEM lip/spoiler.

On top of the quality they aren't being made anymore so there is a limited supply and its getting more limited due to lips being damaged from being on cars. It is the same reason that an OEM hardtop prices have gone up.

Has anyone tried this eBay vendor's lip?

I asked one of the eBay vendors about packaging of the lip. They responded saying "unfortunately it will be bent to fit into a smaller box upon delivery". That sounds sad... it is a poly lip though so, could it be that bad?

My unpainted poly lip from rBayson was folded with a big radius curve and slid into a box about a foot wide if I recall correctly. The folding did no harm. I had it painted and it hangs in my garage rafters waiting to be pressed into service someday. I would avoid folding it like that once its been painted.

I couldnt get a decent AP1 OEM replica so I went with an RSG Gears lip. I'll try to remember to check back in here once it's done being painted along with the rest of the car.

I suppose a big radius curve would be OK. But the thought of it being "folded" is scary lol.
