Default Thinking about buying a front lip off ebay..

http://tinyurl.com/j7g6w

Has anyone bought anything like this? $70 for shipping seems steep, but the buy it now is for $98.

I found another one that's $169 + $70 shipped (http://tinyurl.com/en9oa) . I'm wondering what might be different about it.

Obviously I would need to get it painted. What kind of rates should I expect to get it painted?

Thx in advance.

Why...cause someone is making a huge profit on a peice of plastic. Painting a lip should only run around $100 tops.

That hardtopguy.com one comes to ~ $415 shipped.

98 + 70 + 100 for painting = ~ $270. That's a lot of steak dinners.

when it comes down to it, it really is a piece of plastic. I'd love to hear from someone who has ordered one.
