Any experience with Non OEM lips?

g2artist · 10-02-2008, 02:27 PM

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with aftermarket M type front bumper lips. Is the quality and fitment the same as OEM? I found this one here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=360092936717 and was wondering if it was worth it. Before anyone says "Why go cheap on a $50k car?" I say if its 98% percent of the OEM one, why not save a few bucks? Thanks for any input.

They suck. Only go for OEM or someone w/a fit that's been tested by members here like M Force Design (group deal forum).

Hi there,

I believe I've responded to your thread on another forums. Anyhow, most people here would tell you not to buy lips from ebay as they are hit and miss. Basically no one will know until they've purchased them. We have a replica version ( as well as OEM version) of the lip and they're guaranteed for fitment so feel free to check it out here.
