$449 for a replica? The Do-Luck store is right over from my house, he told me you can generally get a real one for around $600. Kinda pricey I think for some fiber.

That's half the price of a new bumper for 5% of a bumper..... If your spending $450 why not spend the extra $190 and get the real deal at the rediculous price of $600+ for a 3-4" X 4' piece of carbon fiber. But the market determines value and people pay it.... A Plastic one for $200-$300ish would be ideal like the V-styles that fell through.

$449 is reasonable? It's not even the real deal.... Pay the extra $190 for the real thing. If they can make it half the price of the real one people will eat it up! But for $190 more why not get the real thing? Sure it might be like 4 feet long but what does the thing weigh? A brake kit cost $20-$30 to ship with 2 calipers, and 2 13" rotors. I hardly think this weights that much. Reasonable was their first offering of $199 shipped for a poly front lip... Maybe even $300ish but almsot $500 for a piece of CF that will get scratched and chipped to hell? Not worth it in my book.

I know it sucks but I called and reserved mine.
Just take this into consideration. Shipping is about $60-80 for this lip. I just checked the rates via UPS.

So the real deal is $650 plus shipping thats over $720.
Thats a savings of $270 or more. I will take the replica thank you
