Planning on buying a stock front lip, anybody know a place that has a good deal on it? thanks

 

Hardtopguy seems to be the cheapest I've found (even beats the guy on ebay)...let me know if you find it cheaper.

I've known this site for awhile, it's the same price as Hardtopguy. But their shipping cost are much less. Hardtopguy shipping are wayyy too high. 47$ for UPS ground. With that much on shipping, you can get next day shipping from HandA. The only thing is if you live in Cali, you'll have to pay tax.

 

I've used HandA for a few things. Since they are in Sacramento, CA and I am in San Jose, I've gotten everything next day via ground.

If I were on the east coast, I'd probably go with Hardtopguy.

 

You should keep your eye on Ebay. I have seen a couple go really cheap lately.

 

Am looking for one as well but the shipping cost is killing me!

 

word? I live in SJ too and I ordered mine last night. Hopefully I'll get it by the weekend. My springs are coming Thursday so Ima lower it and hopefully slap the front lip on too.

 

http://www.hondacuraworld.com ... Tim from Ray Laks is a great guy to deal with and shipping is included in the price.

 

get this:


its carbon fiber $388...compare to OEM $348.30at honda-accessories.net
to me it seems a good deal?

 

I dont see it being a good deal. The properties of carbon fiber make it a terrible matertial for use in construction of lips and bumpers. Although carbon fiber itself can be very strong and rigid, automotive grade carbon is not always the best quality and is not usually (if ever) modled in the vacume bagged autoclaves that are necissary to make carbon super strong. Also, even if it were a very high quality carbon molded in the best possible process, it is not flexible like ABS plastic is, which is an essential property for the material of a lip to have. I have had both plastic and carbon fiber lips of the same exact design other than their materials, and the carbon one was a fragile peice of crap. The second you scrape a driveway with a carbon lip reasonable amount of force, its going to tear. If you buy a carbon lip, its pretty much for show, but it shows that you are not the sharpest tool in the shed for buying one. Its like putting APC stickers on your car, you may think its cool, but anyone who knows anything about automotible modifications knows that you are actually tool.
