Default eBay - AG Style lip?

Hey guys,

Need some expert opinions here. I couldn't find any solid reviews on the Aimgain style replica lips that are sold on eBay.

I found two different sellers, priced at $125 and $90.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/14-16-Lexus-IS250-IS350-F-Sport-Only-AG-Style-Front-Bumper-Lip-Urethane-PU/391490120358?_trksid=p2047675.c100623.m-1&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D38530%26meid%3Df00811b993fb48e89ae6c8128f0ae9a8%26pid%3D100623%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D191654879425

Anyone had experience with this lip? And/or sellers?

Please and thanks!

They both work and fit okay.

You get what you pay for with this rep.

I ran it for a year... sadly mine broke off last month due to snowy weather.

I live in the Bay Area, CA. The worst we get is rain lol.

How was the installation for you?

I honestly just want a lip to protect my bumper.

How did you mount it? How many screws? and or 3M tape?

But hey, you said your're getting rid of it? If you're in NorCal, I'll take it off your hands. lol

No 3M tape? Does it hold up well with just screws?

The listing only includes screws I believe..

You'll need screws, about eight. Doubled sided tape won't hold this eBay lip to the bumper. Mine was from a company call Bayson R Motorsport; it wasn't the greatest fitment but for the price I don't mind scraping it.

the lip was delivered today, however due to full time job and school i don't think i will ever have time to put it on my self, when i finish work is night time. I bought the $125 Dollar lip, they come with screws and have like clips that sticks on your bumper with screws, you don't need to drill the bumper. Sadly i wish the lip came pre drilled that would be much easier. steps would be to put double sided tape to see the fitment, drill the hole on the clips of the lip, and put the screws in under the car which there is already screws there. Tomorrow my brother is going to take my car for the installation of the lip and exhaust, i will tell him to take pictures. i don't think i will paint the lip either.
