$125 shipped? The batch we bought from were all $148, like here:

So, yours is actually the first set that used to be for sale and $125, like here:

When did you get yours? Because based on the price, yours is from the same set that already has good confirmed fitment.

I think the company is getting greedy and are making them fast that quality and fitment doesn't matter. Most of my holes align tightly and I got one of the first batch that were $125. Now I'm hearing a price jack and now, quality is shot out the window.

I don't think they make it, there's 3 vendors selling it on ebay now, all at around $200. I imagine quality control in Taiwan isn't too strict, especially for low volume PU parts to be sold on ebay.

So, who else bought one recently at around $150 or more? What is your impression of it?

I think its the second batch.

the reason is because the guy who posted it first said he got his for $100 shipped. At the time he posted the auction, the one I bought from, it was $125 shipped. I ordered it before christmas.

Looks like another seller is jumping on the PU lip wagon.
Sucks that it's the same price.
If I was this new guy I'd be selling them for $75 cheaper and that would sell no problem.

Hmm, supply+demand+price jacking at it's finest. If the price continues to rise, I'm just gonna get a cf one from a quality vendor on here, like I originally intended to do.

I got one of these lips when the price was $118+shipping. Put it on yesterday and I'll try and get some pics up later.
Fitment was pretty good, had a few areas that didn't want to line up flush. Also the screws from the original lip didn't work on the new one so I had to get some larger ones from the hardware store.
And as stated before paint is absolute crap. I'm looking at places to get it painted that won't charge too much.

^^Ah, that's excellent to hear! Can you put up some pics?

Also, when you say you didn't use the original screws, did you mean our OEM ones or the ones that came with the lip? Because mine has metal inserts and came with its own screws.

They're supposed to give you screws that fit into their inserts.

I just put mine in today, got it about a week ago. Only about 3 screws did not line up, but fitment is pretty darn good for the price, at least for $125 shipped when I actually purchased it. I got a different one when the first was damaged in shipping, so I believe I received a lip from one of the latest batches. Yes, the paint sucks, but looks good from far away :P

Yeah mine did not have any screws that came with it. Guess they forgot them.

^^Did your have the inserts though? Mine has threaded inserts molded into the PU.

Any new pics of these? I'm at least hopeful that mine might fit as well thankfully based on your guy's experiences.

It had the threaded inserts, just not the screws that were supposed to come with it. I work long hours during the day but I'll try and get some pics up later.
If you have some patience with it I'm sure you will be able to make it fit pretty well.
I really like how it gives the front a little more aggressive look, and since mine fits well I would say its worth the money.
I have already gotten a couple compliments on it as well
