I really hate to say it but if you are extremely poor now, you ain't seen poor yet. Wait until something breaks....

well to answer your Q it looks like an oem knockoff to me.

IMHO i wouldnt jump on this because of the free stuff - think about it - that strut bar is worth what....$20?? They are sold on ebay all day long. So you get this front lip for $80 and spend another $200 to get it painted and to fit right....

just look in the for sale section for a used oem lip which is already painted and save yourself a whole lot of hassle. but thats just my opinion.

If you are a poor college kid, then I guess this would make sense, but you still have to get it painted dont you?

save your money for the real thing, if you ave the mod bug get something that isnt crap. if you have 80 bucks to spend get a knob from ricks, modifrys organizer and half a tank of gas.

I don't have any experience with that lip but if you look at the price: $80 plus shipping $50 now you're at $130. Then you still have to get it painted est. $150-$250 now you're at the cost of OEM from here H&A IMO OEM will always fit much better than a knock-off anyway. So.....there's a second opinion for you.

Geez three people responded in the time it took me to write this.....must type faster!!

Get a Carbon fiber one no painting so it comes out completely cheaper. You just drill the holes and ur good to go.
