Best place to get SE front lip?

My front lip got cracked in half and im looking to replace it, but id rather not spend the roughly $350 that the dealership wants for a new one. So what is the best place I can pick up an Evo 9 SE front lip for a decent price?

Id rather spend a little more for better quality but was hoping I could still get a good one for better than $350.

I did some looking around but can only seem to find some $94 cheap ebay lips. And the carbon fiber se lip for over $450

All help is appreciated

Used from someone selling one or the dealership are the only two options

Aren't any SE replicas that I know of

Cheapest I found was 277.83 with shipping.

I think my cost was like $230 or so? and I was getting my front bumper repainted so it wasn't necessarily a big deal

I could use a new lip also. Mines not cracked in half and probably repairable but a fresh lip would be nice. Let us know if you find something.

6512A149WA - SE Lip

Looks like the price has gone up a bit since my last purchase:

Shipping is still fantastic though.

I'm confused. Why are there so many different parts?
When mine broke I took it off and it was just one piece.
I thought all I needed was the lip and the hardware

Also. Clips were broken when the lip was broken. Will the new lip come with what I need? If not where can I get what I need?

Just like this. The lip that you see is what came off.

I just replaced mine last week. You will also need the plastic reinforcement pieces.

Thank you.
Based off reading the first link you just posted it seems those extra pieces are for if you're running the undergrad splash shield. Which I am not.
So is it safe to say I dont need those other pieces without the splash shield? Or is there some other purpose for them?

If they are for legit reinforcement I will get them. Dont want to put on just the lip to find it flimsy and easily breakable.

Thank you again for your responses.

You can get away without them, it will just leave a gap between the lip and any undertray you run.

I run an aftermarket piece which connects to them.

EDIT: You can see the gap here:

Any big worries for not using an undertray?

No "real" worries.

The piece helps with aero, directing airflow through the engine compartment (which helps cooling), covering the oil filter and keeping other **** out of the engine compartment.

People argue back and forth about this all the time.
