No its the rediculous price people want for them used, 300-350 for a used lip they must be out their damn mind but you have dummys that buy em for that all scratched up.

+1 I've seen people ask $400 or more, add shipping and paint... Yeah, $600+ for a 2" strip of plastic?

I won't be that dependent on one company to be willing to take it in the **** willingly just to get their product. If this fitment test ends up proving good, VIS, we'll be talking soon.

yeah, I talked with Sewell the other day and asked, not that I want one again, but Darryl said the same thing, they wont send em into the states anymore. If you want one, you can order from them directly it sounds like, just no one wants to pay for shipping.

Can this replica lip be molded? I wanted to eventually get a TTE lip but I wouldnt mold it just because its too expensive to mess up. However, for $170, I wouldnt mind messing up a replica lol.

gotta pay to play... replicas are a nice alternative but with a fiberglass lip up front and positioned that low that amount of $ you pay to repair/repaint will add up to that price in 1 incident if you think about it. (road debris/parking lot floor barriers/curbs) <- will claim that fiberglass.

ive had my share of fiberglass kits back when i had my acura/hondas urethane ftw.
