Ebay lip?

I was searching through ebay for a evo ix lip, and I found a few but most of them are carbon fiber. I rather have a non carbon fiber I came across this lip which seems like the replica of the Ralliart lip non carbon version. Does anyone have any feedback on this lip as far as fitment ?

Here is the link to the lip

If i buy this lip i will have it Well sanded and prepared to paint it wicked white I think it will look good as long as the fitment is good. The reason why i dont want a carbon fiber one is because they go for $300 and they start to look green after a while . I currently have a ralliart carbon fiber replica and it looked great at first but now looks like crap.. IMO if anyone is getting any exterior carbon fiber mod it should be from Seibon or a well know brand because most replicas turn green after a while

seibon has more issues with their carbon yellowing than any vendor I know

if you want to paint it obviously fiberglass is your best bet...jdp offers a fiberglass version of their lip I believe

baysonr is your best bet for lips on ebay

or contact rexpeed

even for the carbon fiber lip it fit pretty well, mainly because the structure is fiber glass, got one for my evo ix bumper fit great.
