    WTB: IS front lip

    Hi all-



    Bought my car with a busted front lip, and now it's on the side of the road somewhere in New Hampshire.



    Looking for an IS style front lip. Car is Alpine White, but I'll take one in black too. It's a good look. Shipping would be to 01463



    Thanks!

    EDIT: I ended up buying an OEM lip last night from Turner. A little pricey, but I’ve still got all my clips intact and I prefer OEM.

    Buy one off of Ebay for about $50 shipped. Unless you want to be brave buy an OEM one and maybe leave it on the side of the road too.

      Do you know which ones are better quality? Or are they all about the same? Thanks for the help in advance.

        Go OEM or go home, eBay junk will break into pieces. OEM can withstand multiple beatings. The RyanG splitter is definitely a nice addition as well.

          Like stated by *AssLiquid*, quality is definitely far inferior for Ebay. But you can buy up to 3 aftermarket ones, by the time you get your hands on an OEM one, which is about $180.

          Your choice on the Ebay ones, I dont find much differences.

            The eBay ones are fairly good I just bought one ! But they are made of a brittle plastic.. definitely not as resilient as the oem

                  Every time.

                  I think in order to be a true r3ver you must have had at least one beer enduced shart while wrenching on the e30.

                      Has anyone tried this seller? Sorry for the long link.



                      Seller says this one is made of fiberglass and includes hardware. Priced to fall between the OEM $200 and the cheaper plastic $50.

                        Spend 200 and get one from FCP Euro, when it breaks you can box it back up and get a new one for free.

                            They take returns on EVERYTHING. from used oil, etc. Thats why i got all my bearings, axles and misc body stuff from them. When I bought my last IS lip i figured i'd pay a few bucks more and if it breaks on the track i'll exchange it, and you don't even need to source a big box if its in pieces lol.
