Last I heard, eBay links are okay unless it is for your own auction.

Definitely a good find. Who wants to try this out?

here are some pics of the lip... I will have a few more tomorrow because my battery in my digital died and i had to borrow my friends ... it is a pretty nice lip , seems to be a good quality... it will fit better on the sides when you install the 2 brackets that it comes with... it is about 2 inches lower than the aspec lip, It definetely has scrape potential... it fits niely with the body of the car... i will post more tomorrow as soon as i get them sent to me.... so enjoy the teaser... I picked up the spoiler from www.streetstyler.com they had it cheaper than the ebay deal

what style spoiler did you get? also do you plan on painting the spoiler or leaving it and going for a JDM look with black accents to contrast your Anthracite?

actually it looks like it mounts at the same location as the a-spec lip as far as the lower grilles are concerned. Just like the a-spec you will not be able to remove those lower grilles once it is mounted. It is definitely lower by a couple inches across the front

Yep. Please paint it...

Tighten up the look a little and setup your mesh grilles, and install some matching mesh behind those holes.
Really interested in the final product...

Thanks for the teaser shots!

I think I like it...not a bad spend for around $200.

It's killing me because there are now 2 or 3 options as to which way to go on the front end...this lip, type s front and aspec, or versus motorsports.

$50 cheaper? This is starting to sound better and better, thanks man. If only you could hold it up to the front bumper.....OK I'll shutup and be patient

Does anyone have an idea how much it will cost to have something like this painted?

also is ABS plastic as flexible as the a-spec polyurethane material?

here they are guys... I still have a few more but my friend is working with the lighting of the pics.. it was late last night when we decided to take the front apart.. it sits pretty nice to the car. The line that it follows is an inch lower than where the aspec sits as you can see by the remnant double sided sticky tape.. like i said before it is lower then the aspec and it does have the potential to rub if you car is lowered.. I am not sure how i feel about the lip.. i am on the fence about getting it painted and putting it on.. but if i were to keep it, definetely getting it painted.. it comes w no predrilled holes or instructions just 2 brackets and screws.
