What's everyone's thoughts on this Front Lip?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/JPM-Carbon-F...NXmcJ8&vxp=mtr

Came across it on eBay the other day and I'm hesitant on the quality, fitment, etc. on this lip. I know a lot of times it's better to just fork up the extra money and buy a brand name/quality part, but I'm curious if anyone on this forum has seen this lip and/or bought it.

Often times these parts on eBay actually work out.

So if anyone could give their .02 cents on this, it's highly appreciated.

@jlexus3: the link you provided is for $469.95 ; i have found for $369 and the same vendor sells front lip replica of AimGain and Side splitter replica. Like you said usually these replicas are sort of spot on for fit but may require slight modifications here and there. And usually on CL its said we should support brands and no to replicas; but each to his own. You can try if you feel this might be worth a shot.

Thanks Jay. I've decided to go with a genuine part. Replicas are risky and could cost me more money in the end.

That seems pretty expensive for an aftermarket=aftermarket front lip. Anyone actually buy and test fit this?

That is pricey for a replica. I wonder how much the original is.

original is around $800 and not in carbon fiber......made out of fiberglass i think and if they have a polyurethane its prob around $1000

I have bought one and I actually like it. I was planning to get the bunny but it cost me so much just for it to ship here in guam... so i went the other route... i actually like the way its sitting and tomorrow i should be receiving the sideskirt
on the mail... will post pic up once i get them... for me its worth the shot to get this compare to the branded one and yes they are nice and all but for me ordering it all the way across the country is really hard to find something that will fit my budget... i cant wait for the sideskirt tomorrow and hopefully itll look good as well... will update you guys soon!!!

Just a quick update:

front lip JPM CF fits perfectly and doesnt need any adjustment nor trimming... it comes with couples screws but if you want more hold to it you can purchase a 3m adhesive tape and add that up...

sideskirt JPM CF also fits perfectly no trimming nor adjustment needed... theres a hole pre made already so all you need to do is just lign em up with the pin that is holding the mud guard... if want more information just let me know... i havent taken picture because it is dark outside and its not that too noticeable whneeverr i take pic but will definitely take picture tomorrow and post it up for you guys to see it... i like it and it is very simply but eye catcher with the CF look...

Jpm cf front lip and sideskirt



Heres the update guys! I like the way its seating on the car... the sideskirt is an easy install... i just actually just installed the ARK GRIP exhaust today too! Shes screaming loud! Will be installing takeda intake soon!

looks good.let me ask you something when you have to take your car in for repairs will it be difficult for the car to be lifted by the sideskirts without being damaged? thanks,phil

i wish i can answer that question right now phil. I havent gotten down the repair shop at the moment. I used my own jack to lift the car when i installed the exhaust but the sideskirt wasnt in the way at all.
