Anyone have an eBay lip, etc?

Seems like lips, rear diffusers, and spats are all over eBay. Looks like they are all from the same chinese manufacturer / mold. Anyone had any experience with them. The price is right for sure!

Search in the DIY and interior/exterior section. There is a whole thread on making it fit like oem. Seems like a decent part but it's just for looks. Not a real diffuser. Of course the Oem one isn't a real diffuser either lol.

I am a believer in you get what you pay for. Remember, most of the time if something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

I cannot speak for quality of these parts though.

I personally would prefer to save up a few months for a product that I know is high quality. We have a class act car and keeping it that way is worth a few extra dollars in my opinion.

While I mostly agree, I disagree for lip kits. Most lip kits are overpriced because of name and ease of fitment. Buying an ebay lip kit will be made of the same PU which will be more durable than carbon fiber. For 95% of us out there a durable lip kit is better than a slighly lighter CF one that may crack.

The issues you will have with an ebay lip kit will mostly be fitment, otherwise I see no issue.

No issues for the rear spats and diffuser for me. They fit perfectly.
