Wings West was bought out by ViS Racing and they are completing the buyout process now and she be fully operational by mid-September. Like Numnut said the shipping is alot because of the size of the box and not the weight of the lip. Mine cost about that much but my boy ate the shipping and just made me pay the lip.

id buy one if the shipping charges were normal. I bought alot of stuff for my civic and the lips were never more than 40-45 bucks to ship. Hell, i shipped 4 wheels for $30 one time.

If they're now owned by VIS, carlo could maybe get something going, since he is a registered vender of theirs I believe. A GB for lips would be the shit

IMO I think someone should be brave and try molding a different type of Acura lip on our cars..Like the 2nd Gen Versus kit or 2nd Gen TL OEM kit..I think once and if everyone gets a lip and plus a bunch of us getting the CF hood all the whips would look the same except some will be a bit more gay since they are painted primose

i know the box is big but i sent out a set of rims in boxes to HAWAII for around $150 so i dont know how this thing can possibly cost so much... maybe theyre just trying to recuperate lost money during their closed time...

Guys, talk to our vendors, contact Street Image Inc and ask arnold if he'll set up a group buy. He is who I got my lip from a few years back.

$325 isnt taht expensive for a lip IMO... you guys confuse me

first, you whine about there not being the lip because WW is down.. but now that they're up, you whine about the price.

let me see, what works better when you want a lip, whining, or making some money to buy it? all of you guys are older than me, i'm only 18, and you're whining about a few hundred bucks. you guys all work full-time (most of you), yet you whine about something you'd probably spend a months time at starbucks.

please, stop whining

hey everyone, cj brought to my attention that you guys want a group buy on the wings west lip. I'll see what I can do on the group buy, wings west is a different division from VIS even though they're owned by the same company. I'll find out next week what the status is on wings west and when they'll be back in business and what price I can get the lip to you guys at. Just watch for my post and I'll try my best to help the forum out.

Hey hey hold on for me please before you make a BG i still need to drop my damn car and pay 600+ for the CF hood. could you wait up for me about the WW lip?!?!!!!! please?!?!!??????????????????

hehe jk but...

stop complaining about the price.... when you do think about complaining... then think about the guys that live in hawaii??? i bet ya the WW lip + shipping is going to cost as much as a damn CF hood w/o shipping.

just me coming from the unnoticed rock in the middle of the ocean
