EBay IS lip? Yay or Nay

[mrbeef612]

I am in need of a IS lip for my car. Any one buy one off of ebay? Are they made cheaply and do they fit?

They are ok if your not too low. If you scrape, this will not last long. They are brittle and not as flexible as OEM

I would save the 30$ or what ever it would take to buy a real one. There are r3v venders selling real ones in the classifieds.

I got one. I decided to get it because it was cheaper and I didn't want to spend more time/money on painting an OEM one. The ebay lips are a black plastic and my car is Schwartz.

Don't buy one.

They're not horrible, but like bmw325csi said, they don't flex very well nor do they fit 100% flush. They fit like 90%. I'm low, and as of 3 days ago my lip was in 3 different pieces. I had to fiber glass that shit back together. GO OEM!

Fit was fine but I bottomed it pretty often running a regular sedan with M3 springs. After getting torn off twice, it finally hit the pavement and broke pretty bad. Went to a regular I lip after that.

Ok I am in a sedan 2 coils cut off in front and lowering springs in the rear... Here is a pic of my car its not the closes.

dont spend money on a lip. Get your suspension fixed first. lower it correctly then worry about cosmetics later

The way it sits now is just fine.. It handles good with Bilsteins on all 4 corners.

Yeah don't buy eBay.
Doesn't fit too well onto the IS clips and is made of straight plastic. Makes you question if your valance is bent, but it's the lip.
