i actually have a story about this guy........ a little over a couple months ago i paid this guy for a lip (which i might ad he doesnt say in the ad, but i asked him and they are VIS lips)........ 3 weeks and a ton of excuses later i never recieved my lip and ended up getting a refund thankfully

but buy at your own risk..... who knows, his excuses may have been legit...... to his credit he did give me a refund no questions asked and then emailed me a couple days ago to let me know he had them back in stock incase i still wanted to buy, which would have been around a month with no contact....... surprisingly he followed up with me after all that time

he also claims that you can pick up from his warehouse somewhere in Cali. so he has to be somewhat legit, i just had a bad experience maybe (his place is called Bumper Farm)


PS: he also was selling it to me for 270 shipped at the time :P

Wow, $350 is a lot. It shows he's from HB but he has a long beach number. I don't know how he thinks he can get away with selling it higher than retail. He's selling it in this ad for $370 picked up http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/pts/1747193484.html I think he's a SCAMMER!!!!!


I found another seller on Craigslist selling it for $180 picked up. He says he has 3 in stock right now.

Although he doesn't mention it in the title, he does say that it's a replica in the message body. This guy is definitely shady since he states that the spoiler MSRP is $500 but asking $350 for a replica. Then there's the pics of what looks like real TTE lips installed on a few cars. Avoid this guy unless you have money to blow.
