Everyone around here has an opinion about what is "good." There are always conflicting points of view.

My opinion: Don't buy that crap.

My opinion is to not buy crap on eBay unless it's a certified name brand product... We don't drive cheap cars so we shouldn't be installing cheap products IMO

What is a certified name brand product? As an example, I wouldn't consider AIT a "certified name brand product" because it is a replica part of the authentic Top Secret part (which I suppose I would call a certified name brand product). That is not to say that it is a subpar quality part. There are good quality replica parts out there. Then there are far more poor quality parts out there. Without getting into the argument of authentic versus replica, ultimately, it is up to a consumer to decide how and on what he/she wants to spend his/her money.


OP... The picture of that JP replica front lip is the G of a member on this board. It is from a Vossen advertisement. I would be very surprised if he or Vossen gave this manufacturer permission to use that picture. On top of that, I would be even more surprised if he actually purchased that lip from this eBay vendor. But, on the off-chance that he did, shoot him a PM and pick his brain about the quality of the lip.

My opinion (as well as that of anyone who has or will respond in this thread) is not important. If, in reading that product description on eBay and taking everything into consideration, you think that sounds like a well-made, quality product and you want to put it on your $40,000+ car, then I say take the chance and go for it...

im assuming from the links you sent that you have a sport, the sport bumper it self is a nice look but a lip definitely adds to it majorly, honestly to get the IPL look, im assuming thats why your referring to, is one hefty price tag. your really better off with a lip i think.

Autokits X

JP Vizage

Stillen Lip

and while im at it, heres the autokits diffusers:
Autokits V1 Rear Diffuser
(im lookin into the V1 personally just cuz i want the CF, although im sure the V2 will be availble in CF eventually)

Autokits V2 Rear Diffuser

Hope these pics help ya out

OH and on a side note, all these lips look 1000% better when the car is lowered!
