its not really $5....they're charging u 100 bux for shipping
they're just manipulating the #'s to make it look cheaper than it is...
mine was the lip that comes with the strut tower brace...also in the pic a posted above...the lip and the strut bar were $79 buy it now...with $50 shipping, so $129 for both....good deal in my book

yeh but $105 is still ridiculously cheap for an oem front lip. a couple of ads above is one for $100 and then $70 for shipping - $65 savings. $70-100 is probably normal for shipping on an OEM lip; but combined with a $5 price for the lip is unheard-of.

$70- $100 shipping for an oem lip is a rip off. They weigh almost nothing. Probably costs roughly $25 for a seller to ship them.

they do that to avoid ebay fee, and it looks cheapr(.25 vs 100)



it's fits like a glove, NIN motorsport in cerrito stock most of the lips you guys see at local store, they ship it out from NIN's warehouse.

i paid 100 for mine, it's direct fit, make sure you get the metal bracket

the price for paint can vary greatly
i suggest taking a trip to a few body shops in ur area, and get an estimate before purchasing the lip
