what are you talking about? its "ghey" because its a knockoff? personally i love the way it looks and you cant beat the price. the chitty stock lip sells for more then that one. worst case scenario if you get it and its rough you pay one of your buddies in beer to work on the fiberglass and fix it up. still cheaper then a stock lip, any JDM lip, 97+ bumper and/or big win lip combo.

if i had the extra money right now i would buy it and do a review on it. i bet if i got one and it was actually good then people would jump all over it and the price of the stock lip would be about 100 bucks tops...including shipping

i saw this a couple days ago on ebay. its def a knockoff but it looks alright.

my problem with it is that its too aggressive for someone only wanting a front lip. you would need sides and a rear to make it look right.

the factory lip isnt nearly as big, and you can get away with just having the front lip. other than that a lip is a lip. im sure it fits fine. its not as comlicated as a whole bumper and its flexible so you can shape it a bit.

I have been continually looking for a new lip...mine is ok but a little contorted and wanted to update but after having talking to dealer and they want $597 i'll stick with mine for now til I can find a better (read...cheaper) alternative.

If anyone knows any "previously enjoyed" lips in good to great condition let me know, PM me.

***double edit*** ok they appear to be 97 sides.

i think it looks much lower than the sideskirts already.
it would look silly if you had no sideskirts like us 92-97 people.

I agree, especially if you want the stock lip look that is too aggressive
