seriously dude...the dips on highway 80 are killing me. Luckily no damage to the front lip, but damn...my car keeps turning off when i hit a big dip. My mechanic told me i need to replace my throttle body...which is 340 from the dealership!

get the WW front lip, its the best fit and look IMO. the ebay lips are pure shit in terms of quality and fitment. just do a search and you'll see how bad they look on CLs

the ebay lip does not look bad at all. for the few weeks i had it on i got complements on it everywhere, untill it fell off on the freeway. Yes the fitment is horrible, but you can make it work.

Haha, I dunno why I found that so funny.

That must have sucked though..

But yeah, the ebay ABS lips don't look too bad. Personaly, I wouldn't get one.. I'm pretty sure most can agree that the WW lip looks better but it's more expensive and not everyone has some swagga.

holy crap, will these threads never stop coming back?

Pros vs cons?

abs lip:

cheaper
can be secured properly if you know what you are doing
if it does crack it can be fixed - unless you drive over it on the freeway.
more fog light options, lol.

WW lip

more expensive
hasn't fallen off anyone cars so installation is dummy proof.
if you do crack it they generally can't be fixed due to the plastic deformation that occurs when urethane finally gives. i've killed two greddy lips.
less fog light options, lol.
