i've been working with this body shop for a few years now, they've painted my race car, my Acura Legend showcar, and fixed my explorer when it got railed in a parking lot, so they get alot of business from me. so being that i'm a repeat customer, he did it for $50

my buddy S2kMarkus and i compared his OEM lip to my ebay one....fitment is the same....the only difference we could see was the OEM has a black rubber piece that goes the length of the lip on the top, by where it meets the face of the bumper....the ebay one doesnt, but since my car is black, u cant even tell....imo, the lip sits so flush against the bumper, that it isnt noticeable

my CF one was cracked in two places which means there were 3 pieces alltogether. i don't know how to do bodywork and if i can get this one for $106 shipped and have it painted for $100 i'll do it.

$200 oem front lip painted to match? sounds good. not to mention, this is made out of urethane, much stronger than CF.
