I actually purchased one of those eBay lips and it arrived last week, can't wait to install it come spring.

Which one did you buy (from what vendor), is it of good quality? Have you tried placing it under your fender to see how it matches up fit wise yet?

I actually purchased this one http://www.ebay.ca/itm/12-14-BRZ-tS-...vxp=mtr&_uhb=1

Have not even had a chance to move it from my living room to my garage yet so who knows how it will fit. My car is sitting in my garage with 23km on the odometer and wont be driven until spring so I may not bother mounting it for a while.

Ahh, that's an ABS version, similar to what Bayson R makes, problem is that ABS is a much more fragile material than Polyurethane, and for something that low on the front I'd be afraid it'd crack.

Are these ones are ACTUALLY polyurethane or just mislabeled ABS?

Idk, I think you'd be able to tell really easily once you got it whether or not it was ABS (rigid) or PU (somewhat flexible)

I know from first hand, the one from jonmotoring is PU.
I have no idea about the eBay ones. That first link shows 2 different lips (one has mounting points, the other doesn't) so I probably wouldn't order from them.

What did you think of his lip, I've heard mixed feelings on it.

I had no issues with it. Fitment was spot on. Definitely needs some sort of painting/plastidip though.

Deathalo · 01-08-2014, 08:52 PM

Really? I thought most people just ran them as the black it comes in.

I think most people do.
It just has an unfinished look to it.

I wonder if a coat of clear coat would do it, or like you said plasti dip, trying to think of easy DIY ways of improving the look.

a few look like replicas of my Seibon TA CF lip

Deathalo · 01-09-2014, 11:51 AM

I noticed most have the same part number, so it probably doesn't matter where I buy from if I chose that version.
