aero-lip replica

Sam12345 · 07-07-2008, 07:44 PM

hey does anyone know someone that sells aero-lip replicas for a cheap price?
j-levi is ridiculous, they charge the same price for painted replica that long-tran charges for OEM painted.
anyone else know somewhere?

ebay sells replica aero lips. They are much cheaper, but they are only primered and not painted. The downside is that is fitment is bad. The problem from what I have heard, with the fitment is that it is short on the sides next to the fender well by about 1/4 of an inch on each side.

well, by the time you sell yours, i'm sure you can get most of money back if you go to oem... if you go to aftermarket, you will have hard time selling it even at hundred bux...

Buy it. Change it. After lease change it back to stock and sell it again!

Just a few dollars down the drain but you drove a nice lease for the time!

Sam12345 · 07-08-2008, 05:53 AM

ughhh man! you guys are killing me
fine i will go OEM and sell it after my lease is over!
happy?
haha

WCM3 · 07-08-2008, 08:48 AM

Just think of resale when you trade your car back in, sell the lip for like $300.

OKEJJ FINE!!!

We've tried the "other" replica and it was a big problem. Every single customer returned them, and we ended up having to fork out the difference to send them OEM.

This time, we're only using a quality replica. We also sell the OE one. We sell more of the OE actually.

matte325ci · 07-08-2008, 07:54 PM

i8_it · 07-08-2008, 08:03 PM
