That website you linked to sells replicas.

You looking for good quality, or a replica?

I recommend OEM, therefore vendors here such as Tim can get you one for a good deal.

Prices seem fair because they aren't OEM, not painted, and made of fiber glass which will crack badly...

I bought this to see how it is. The front A-Spec at least.
It's FRP. Not just FG. It's strength is almost the same, just a little more durable.

The company is located just at the border, somewhere, in Montreal, PQ, Canada.
They are pretty reputable. Do good work. Ship fast [once the part is made].
Their replica parts are made from molds that come from OEM parts so it fits like a glove.
Or as one of the owners wrote to me "like poppa in momma".
The one thing I found is that the mounting points are not the same as OEM. You can make it the same, though.

They ship via Grey Hound.

Although the price is fair, for what it can cost you to paint... you're better off getting OEM.

Didn't you get a crack in yours?

Yepp! Got a crack during shipping.
I have some skills with FG so it's a really easy fix.
I mainly bought the lip to experiment a lot of things on. So it's alright.

IF you choose to get this replica lip... it's best to inspect the lip ON THE SPOT as it can be dealt with. Once you inspect it away from Grey Hound the damage is all on you.

A lot of other members, in that one sorta-review thread I made, they deemed it was also better to just go OEM.
Prepping and painting is what will make the price of the lip nearly equal to that of OEM. Especially if you get it from one of our vendors.
