Default Beware Ebay TRD front lip replica

Just purchased an Ebay TRD replica lip, you get what you paid for. The quality and fitment are really bad. See for yourself. The edges are rough and have chunks missing. I will never buy a replica again. I guess I have to spend $600+ on a real lip, at least it comes painted.

Woah, which seller did you buy it from, and how much? Mine did not look like that at all. The fitment wasn't 100%, but the lip itself looked perfect and smooth all around.

Damn. Yea that's the same seller I got it from. I guess I just got really lucky with mine. You should definitely try to get your money back for that, or at least have them send you one that isn't messed up. Have you tried contacting the seller and sending them pictures?

that looks really bad, i've purchased reps before in the past (not for the 3is) and the qualify wasnt that bad. i'd say form and fitment was 80%.

Get your money back or get a second set.

It came painted? It's a hit or miss kind of deal with reps I guess. Any anything, it would look good unless you're super close to the car.

Yea I mean I got the same one and I have to admit you got a really bad one. And no, it doesn't come painted. I would not be happy to put that on my car.
