Ebay CF Lip Vendors, Feedback plz

I know theres a billion Ebay CF threads but im asking specifically about 2 vendors that are currently selling. Wondering if anybody has used the ralliart lip from either one, and how the fitment was.

bestracingmotors
or
jl-motoring-com

if anyone has gotten a lip from either of them please let me know how the experience was. I have some ideas for my front end in the future so for now i want something ghetto to get me by until i have the money and time to go for a custom-ish front lip.

jl-motoring-com, I have it, in fact thats my car in his adds. Two problems with this lip, one the screws that come with it are not good for anything. Two, on the lip itself, where it connects to the bumper on the farthest sides, near the wheel well. The lip itself has an extra lip that does not allow for the tabs on the bumper, its easily fixed when cut. other than that it fits well and looks good.

Thanks for the feedback. Easy to cut-off what is needed to be cut?

Well where the lip touches the bumper on each side (as far as you can go towards the wheel well on each side) is what needs to be cut. So basically just a small area on both sides, if you put the lip on before you install it, you will notice that there are small tabs on the bottom of the bumper that hit a part of the lip creating a gap. My buddie cut the lip for me so the tabs could go through, not sure what tool he used, it took him 2 minutes though.

dude, just save your money and buy a good lip. Dont waste your money. If you are spending money on anything, you should NOT what so ever have to do any trimming on your part. Save your money, remember you get what you pay for.

I've been looking at Rexpeed and others, ugh, i've put a good amount of money into my car so far, and I havent been cheap what so ever so far, I just really don't give a crap whether the quality of my carbon fiber is good or not. To be honest, I like fiberglass flat-black more then I like the look of carbon fiber. And APR is the only decent looking Fiber-glass piece but its just overpriced and unpainted.

I just feel stupid paying $400 for something that costs that much simply cause it is carbon fiber when I honestly dont give a **** that it is
