im not quite sure what lip kit you seen on ebay....but i think it full body kits what you're finding...that era is long gone.... two kits you should be googling, binging, clistin, ebayin, etc are the oem lip spoiler and the wings west lip kit... lip meaning the small lil thing that goes around the stock bumper in the bottom.. not a full bumper...

duraflex = fiberglass = breaks easily

also possible fitment issues. i have a fiberglass rear lip in my garage and i need a body shop to get it to fit correctly.

You need to search here and Craigslist! There is one kit on here for sale but the front lip has several cracks. I found the front and rear (OEM-highly recommend) from someone here on the forum and drove four hours to Portland to get them. Searched for a year for just sides and couldn't find ones willing to ship so I bought the ones off eBay. I am so glad I didn't get the entire kit off eBay. The fiberglass ones feel very, very cheap. The body shop that installed them placed them over the stock rockers and attached them so they're more sturdy and fit better. They look good as far as alignment but I would NOT buy the front off eBay. Possibly the rear as that wouldn't ever hit a speed bump. Let me know if you have any questions. Tim a sponsor here can get you the parts you will just have to pay retail shipping and most likely need to paint them to match. It would be worth it to pay retail for just the front as these kits are very rare

That's not even a sentence.

Yea, you could just paint it to match your car's color. You would mostly likely have to color match it anyway, as the car's color fades after some time. It would look pretty awful if you just left it a different color.
