Default $50 rs1 front lip?

Should I give it a shot? I just don't want to end up with it and have it fit like crap.

EDIT: Shipping costs over 100$

Get it from racing solutions! That way you know fitment won't be a problem.

Last I knew for a rs1 front lip its $145 + $40 shipping. A little more but fitment will be good.

Look around and see if a shop can order if for you for cheap. The shop I bought my RS1 lip got mines for 155.

yea not all ebay stuff fits perfect. not all ebay stuff is crap ether. but i picked up my whole rs1/p1 lip kit and had no issues installing only issue i had was the drive side was a tight fit on the front lip and had to trim just the piece that sits in front of the grill thats it. 5 mins worth of triming i did with a razor blad, .

i got my front lip from this guy here. and if you want to see pics of it installed check out my picture thread.

This is just a common eBay practice. You can find dang near any part for cheap, but then when you look at shipping it costs a crap ton. This way with a low price they get more clicks and thus more chance of selling.

racing solutions and ebay's RS1/P1 lipkits come from the SAME distributor overseas.

all of them (even from Racing Solutions) will have fitment issues. CF and ABS will defer

Like they say in racing. Rules are just guidelines, in which are being broken only until you get caught.

yeah, buying cheap body/lip kits means you will always have fitment issues but even if you buy an expensive one, nothing fits like oem

Moose does have a point, I had a body kit on my civic that was a cheap one... I got it and had to mess with it for a whole weekend to get it to fit right and on top of that the fiberglass was so thin I could see through it... luckily I had some extra fiberglass and resin laying around the garage so I reinforced it everywhere but when it was all said and done... I scraped on just about everything anyway lol
