Default ebay lip kit+ fogs ?

I was just wondering what you guys thought of this on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/04-05...spagenameZWDVW

$350 is great for a full lip kit plus the ebay fogs.

is that lip kit same as rs1 kit that racingsolution sells or is that just a copied version? Yeah I think that's pretty good price tho.

I think that lipkit would have to be trimmed to work with those fogs.

I'd be wary of that deal as the price is really low.
Buyer beware.

I think this kit is made by the same manufacturer everywhere, or so I heard. Any way to verify this?

looks like an rs1 replica to me. and yeh sometimes if somethin is too good to be true, it probably is. must be some catch with fitment with the kit to the car, fogs to the kit, or both!

Maybe contacting the seller. But that lip kit usually sells for around $400 (without foglights) so I bet it's not made by the same manufacturer, ie; a poor quality knockoff.

Def. suspect, I won't. But hey....

Ebay doesn't suck, you just have to do some research and not do the whole impulse buying. If it wasn't for ebay many people wouldn't have they're LLC grilles (which are really nice).

^Yeah, there is a lot of cool stuff on ebay (not just car stuff). The problem is, there is also a ton of junk on there as well.

i disagree. i dont thik you would have to trim the lip to use the fog.. since it takes place of the stock grill...
and i think that the lip is all made by the abs guys...

That does look like the abs dynamics/RS1 lip kit, and if it is you will have to trim the middle section back about an inch to clear the lower grille. Even with the stock grill, they need trimming otherwise they bow and get a nasty gap.

Unless they changed the design in the last year...

There was a thread awhile back with pics of the gaps some people were getting, search around and you might find it. Essentially the center piece presses against the lower grill giving gaps around the pillars that seperate the grill from the fake side vents in the bumper. Some people claimed they were able to wedge it between the grille and bumper, I tried and found it to be better to just trim it a bit.

Then again, this was over a year ago, maybe they fixed it.

Ok, just got the kit in and took some quick and dirty pics with my treo so excuse the poor quality. They look good with a few aesthetic blemishes. The one skirt has some gnarl on the bottom of it (not visible when on car) and the rear bumper piece has some rash on the top. I did a very dry fitament and the sides seem good the front might be ok but its hard to tell cuz I have my fig grille installed. The fog kit looks brand new with the harness and switches, that thing usually is expensive, no?? I wonder if theres a way to use the fogs but keep my fig grille. Anyway, heres some pics..
