Does this lip look legit to you?

Looking at replacing my destroyed SE lip and found this on eBay...pretty good price, just wondering if you all thought it's legit or not.

i personally would never buy a carbon lip off ebay, most of those guys cut corners when making this stuff and ive they are extremely thin, i would just hold off and get one from rexpeed, or another well known company. stay away from ebay unless your getting a poly one

Or get a cheap PU lip and wrap it in whatever color or pattern you want.

I got a PU Ebay one put on last week because my OEM one was shot and it's nice and solid.

It is a good front lip. What I'm currently running. Funny thing is I purchased this and i purchased some other parts from Rexspeed. They both were shipped from the same country... Just saying.

yeah that **** comes from the same place, some guy sitting in a sweatshop slaving over carbon fiber. I bought my CF stuff from J.LIU, quality stuff great prices too.

And the lip you're looking at is 2 legit, 2 legit to quit

In my opinion it is not worth to pay more for lip because i guess properties will be the same.
