Default S2000 Cr lip

Ok guys so i picked up a Ap2 front bumper for a good deal and decided to discard my Ap1 bumper. So id like to purchase a Cr lip soon, however id rather not spend nearly $600 on a OEM Cr lip, soooo replica it is( yes yes i know nothing beats OEM). I know forcewerkz Cr lips are pretty much garbage now that they are having them made in Taiwan and what not but i was wondering if there are any other company's that make replica Cr lips that are acceptable. Im not expecting a OEM quality lip id just like something that looks decent and will fit nice with little modification if not non. If not i will have to look into another lip but until then Im pretty stuck on the Cr lip. Any info helps guys, thanks.

Why is made in taiwan garbage? If that's what you believe, you should throw your iphone, iPad, and just about any apple product out the window then. Call me before you know, let me know which window.

Not that I have heard or seen. As you mentioned, fitment will always be an issue with aftermarket. Your best bet is to see if anyone is selling a used CR lip on the forums.

I am not aware of any other of the manufacturers that make CR replica lips. Even if there are others, chances are you won't be able to tell the difference (they could also sell you CR rep made by another manufacturer). Aftermarket is aftermarket. You don't know until you test fit it on your car, but by then it is too late.

I have been through this. I am sure you have read my review but in case you haven't...

OEM vs replica argument notwithstanding, people who call into question the intelligence of others should probably examine their syntax, grammar, and punctuation more closely.

On topic, replica parts are always going to compromise the fitment and look of OEM to a degree and I don't think there is anyone making a decent replica of this lip.

Thanks for sharing your post! I had not read it. Cant believe how bad the fitment was on the forewerkz lip. if i can find a Oem for around $300 il have to pick one up but until then i guess il stay stock.

If you want OEM, best thing to do is post a thread locally....
