Default Ebay seller for ap1 front lip

Hi all im looking to get a front lip for my nfr ap1 I was thinking of going oem but 400$ is too much for something that is gonna get scratched up. anyways I was wondering about the people who have purchased a replica ap1 lip on ebay I see alot of ap1 lips listed on ebay but I was wondering if you guys can list the name of the seller you bought it from and how good the fitment is I dont wanna buy one and the fitment is bad.

Thanks in advance.

Same here! Anyone have good feedback?

There seems to be 6-10 sellers of the non-OEM ones, ranging from $25-$300, I'd rather not experiment.

i think i got mine from SLIPSTREAMAUTOWORKS, the fitment is decent but not perfect. you really have to get close to see that it's not perfect. it was a little tight to wrap it completely around the front bumper. like it needed an extra two milimeters on each side. hardware for the predrilled lip only lined up in three or four spots, got my own hardware (bolts,nuts, washers) from lowes and did the fender wells. could have been a little better (and i do mean little) but paying $500 for a painted oem versus $100 for an ebay and painting it myself influenced my decision. i think it looks fine, it's just a lip and it will get scraped anyways...

Just bought 2 lips from Bayson-r motorsport. The guy is realllllly cool to deal with. Recieved it extra fast even tho i'm from Cananda. Lip looks good, but as far as fittement goes, i cant't really tell since the car is stored for winter. I can always take pictures if you'r interested.
