someone had posted this website a couple of weeks ago and ive been debating on whether or not to buy the lip kit for my tl off here. its comes out lower than ebay. $405 shipped and insured compared to ebay which comes out to $455 shipped.

http://raceappealkits.ecrater.com/pr...hp?pid=3950997

i know many of u guys would rather buy OEM quality but i dont have the money to buy it unfortunately so this is my only option. my car is lowered on tein s techs anyways so its not dropped too low. additionally, i pretty much drive around the same area and i know where potholes are. in other words, i really dont have to worry about destroying the front lip since i know where the bad parts of the road are.

so the question again; do u guys suggest i save $50 and buy the lip kit through that website or just buy it off ebay?

$50 is a nice chunk of change that goes toward painting and installing the lip kit. on the other hand, ebay has multiple sellers and i guess communication with the seller is a lot easier.

please share ur thoughts. thanks

P.S: i searched the forum before asking this question and nothing came out. so hopefully this is not a repost. if it is, im sorry for asking the same question.

 

save the money and buy it from them.

 

so just dish out the extra $50 then? i really just wanted to see if anyone here has bought the lip kit off them and if they had any probs. i know for a fact im gonna end up buying it off ebay but just wanted to see wat u guys say

thats the ebay one. its the same FRP ultrafiberflex crap.

 

i said save the money.. so meaning... save the $50 and buy from the other place... x_x

 

lmfao wow i have no idea y interpreted ur post the other way. so buy it off the cheaper place.....lets see wat other ppl say.

 

people on here have bought the kit from that raceappealkits and liked it alot...get it...i heard that kit from ebay does not fit good at all...and its more expensive

 

alright this is good to know. funny thing i just noticed today was that the ebay sellers are also in canada. here im thinking it would faster with ebay as well but its prolly gonna be the same time to ship lol.

 

race appeal kit fits fine. I got one.

 

cool. ok so looks like im saving myself 50 bucks then.

 

why is ebay charging $110 for shipping?

 

it includes insurance too. u know how ebay is....w/e ur buying is cheap but then shipping is expensive or vice versa.

the race appeal shipping is 95 but im paying the extra 20 for insurance. still comes out to $405 in total. the ebay seller is increasing the price on something thats for sure.

 

^ man i wish i caught a deal like this. i bought mine for over $800 from acura over almost 2 years ago

 

still sounds like a good deal for $800 from acura. but yeah im basically getting this for half that price. painting and installation for the lip kit and my roof spoiler will prolly be another $150 at most. my mechanic is also the guy who does body work and he hooks it up nasty since hes a VERY OLD family friend. my dad has known him since they were in elemantary school in nicaragua lol.

i got a good deal on my roof spoiler too. bought it off some dude here by my house for $35.

after i install the lip kit im gonna have a buddy of mine do the black headlight housing and also either add yellow film strip for the fogs or just buy the bulbs.

i would have had everything done already but i didnt work for the past 6 weeks due to a knee injury. fucking blows but o well. patience is a virtue

 

^ oh ok. I work part time at a body shop so i buy materials and im good. pics of the roof spoiler

 

give me a sec. ill take pics and post now

edit:





its one of m3 lips converted to roof spoiler. just needs to be prepped and painted but im just gonna wait till i have the lip kit to do everything at the same time

 

^im thinking about making a custom one. to me the sorona is too small and barely noticeable

 

im pretty sure it was jp75 that converted the new civic trunk lip spoilers to fit as a roof spoiler. that shit came out nice. whenever i have the extra cash ill prolly go ahead and do that

 

trust me you'll like the custom one i have in mind. a 3g member is going to help me

 

the one i made was actually made for both veichles... 3g tl and 06-up civc sedan..guess the rear glass is very similar...came out pretty nice...sold it to another member on here...he has it on his car and it looks goodim doing another one i think will look good from another roof spoiler as we speak

 

do tey sell the individual parts?

 

yes they do. i think its like $100 per thing plus shipping. comes out cheaper if u buy everything together though.

 

hey younggunz and SLushhYYY what are y'alls experience with this lip kit?

 

I say go ahead and buy the kit but if you find a front OEM lip pick that up and sell the fiberglass one. You say you know your roads but once you drive somewhere else, thats where the trouble starts. I was the same way as well, I know all the roads here but once I go for a drive somewhere else and a pothole jumps at you, its so painful. So if you get a chance, pick up an OEM lip and you'll be good. I havent had any issues with clearance on the skirts, completely nothing on the rear, and i'm pretty low.

I have the same roof spoiler, it may not be that noticeable but its just right, but I am thinking about making a new one



I'm thinking of one like this

 

Don't use BMW roof spoiler there rear glass window shape wave different an shorter then TL. I try using BMW roof spoiler that I got free an with no Luck

 

I'd buy the lip kit off that site, but like fobstylez said, I'd at least save to replace the front lip with an OEM,

 

yeah...^^^ buy everything but the front lip from raceappeal. Go OEM for the front...you can find them easily. the FRP fronts dont hold up well to accidental parking block encounters, road debris etc....

 

fyi this rear visor fits 2g tl almost perfect with no modifications..my boy had it on his 98 civic..when he sold it he took it off and for shits and giggles i tired it on my car...its pretty big ..but it looked pretty cool imo..http://cgi.ebay.com/Honda-Civic-96-9...3A1%7C294%3A50

 

^^ I like it!! I might have to pick that up soon and play with it..

 

seriously? that fits? civics are so small i'm suprised it fits

 

yup..fits almost perfect execpt when you put it on there is a 1/4 inch gap between the roof spoiler and the roof line.not really noticable cuz it's made from the same stuff the window visors are made from..so it almost blends in with the glass....only in the middle...the edges fit perfect..same length..and same curve as the edge of the glass..almost as it were made for our cars

 

 

^^ Saw it in person. Looks sick.

its fine for the price.

 

it sticks out a bit, if I were to buy one, I would trim it down so it doesnt stick out as much but always a good option.

 

got another roof spoiler option coming in the mail very soon also..ill let you guys know how it works out

 

I agree also: save the money and buy it from them!

 

still havent bought the lip kit. 2 more weeks and im ordering it. reason its taking so long is cuz im deducting 125 off of my checks for this. so next check i get enough to buy the lip kit and then the following check i will also have enough to paint and install the lip kit and roof spoiler.

ill keep u guys posted

 

well just ordered the lip kit about 5 minutes ago. now just gotta wait for it to get here. sucks that i live at the lowest point of the country lmao. its gonna take the full 2 weeks to get here since its coming from canada

 

will the accord one fit? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...%3D2%26ps%3D33

 

^^thats not a lip kit

But yeah, that rear window visor should fit.
