imnatelol · 12-29-2011, 11:19 PM

i just got a brand new gv rep for 80 with hardware

Justinb928 · 12-29-2011, 11:30 PM

^Where at? Ebay?

imnatelol · 12-29-2011, 11:38 PM

Local. Some dude on cl sells em.

Justinb928 · 12-29-2011, 11:40 PM

Ah shit. Hook it up bruh

nanotech · 12-29-2011, 11:45 PM

God damn that's cheap! I paid $350 for mine two years ago and it came with no bolts etc!!!!
Though I shattered it a few months back and recently cable tied it back together, I think I'll be looking into an ebay rep haha

corkscrew · 12-30-2011, 12:04 AM

i got one for $119 shipped. fits fine and it came with hardware

j-radvw · 12-30-2011, 12:12 AM

just get the cheapest one you can get. i bought a real gv from rspeed a few years ago for $240 it lasted till this summer but broke it into 4 pieces and just broke it on my way home today so more zip ties tomorrow. there just not worth the money if you low to buy a real one. but it if your not low it always nice a have a quality jdm part. how ever mine did not come with the gv sticker.

fatsquirrel · 12-30-2011, 12:59 AM

so people that sell the gv lip locally are probably same as ebay quality? im thinkin about buying it on ebay.

clean3two3 · 12-30-2011, 01:05 AM

What about the rep r speed front lip? ( I think thats what its called)

Justinb928 · 12-30-2011, 01:10 AM

Contacted the guy in Cali to see if he'd ship, will get back to me tomorrow. $80 is a good deal though.

nighthawk · 12-30-2011, 01:11 AM

my ebay is all bent and cant be fixed with a heat gun. just buy a legit one

clean3two3 · 12-30-2011, 01:15 AM

If I cant find a r speed rep lip ill settle for a craigslist gv front lip, its good to live in los angeles

320icar · 12-30-2011, 01:21 AM

yeah i just ordered one too just now. i think the ebay one will be ok. let you guys know when i get it too.

DjTalya · 12-30-2011, 04:02 AM

good suggestion in the market for one of these

peklngduckk · 12-31-2011, 11:03 PM

As long as it's polyurethane, it doesn't really matter where you get it from. Get the cheapest one.

I got my lip on ebay. Sanded, primered it, painted(WITH VINYL/FABRIC PAINT, it'll allow more flex than other paint).

Fitment was perfect, the damn thing doesn't snap off no matter how hard I try. Well... untill I jumped a curb, but even then, only a small chunk a size of a potato chip came off.

Here's a pic of the painted ebay gv lip:

nmwisima · 01-02-2012, 02:12 AM

Bought mine last week from ebay.

Shipped fast, arrived in Greece in a week.

Does look ok, sanded it a bit then sprayed a layer of varnish.

Will fit and update.

nighthawk · 01-02-2012, 02:13 AM

is mine the only one that looks like shit?

nmwisima · 01-02-2012, 03:16 PM

Guess its a matter of expectations...

Heres mine with a coat of clear varnish.

I had my gf get me one for xmas, had it shipped to my old apartment 2 hours away by accident. finally got up there yesterday and mine looks like it was refurbished. Cracked on the backside noticeably sanded. Its horrible.

thedeaddaze · 01-02-2012, 10:31 PM

The other side looks sharpied in a couple spots but will be hidden by the bumper. This was from "Xcessmotors". Gonna be scraped up soon anyways but damn. Guess I'm used to ABT quality...

urban · 01-02-2012, 11:25 PM

Lol.
those same marks are on the backside of mine.i think the mold they took was from a cracked lip.
when you get this, its all bent and twisted. but it straightens up when it mounts. just take your time.
i went through two real GV lips. They are just to brittle.

nmwisima · 01-03-2012, 01:07 AM

First of all, ALL ebay users are the same, just different names.

When I was looking to buy mine, I pmed all on ebay, and the last one was genious enough to answer "As we replied to all your other emails..."

Mine has the inner crack marks as well and its from a different seller than the one mentioned.
Not something that shows from the outside, its obviously a mould thing...

A.

MX5drew · 01-03-2012, 06:05 PM

theres a guy on my craigslist that sell them for 120$ with all hardware and everything you need for it. Its same deal and quality as the ebay ones. I have an ebay one and love it.

320icar · 01-04-2012, 12:04 PM

Yeah I just got mine today. It's quite badly bent up. I'll really have to go at it with the heat gun and try to straighten it out. But I see that it will be very durable and flexible. Since I'm slammed, I know it will be up to the task

cpttony86 · 01-04-2012, 12:19 PM

i have one just like any other lip........ it will break
but it is durable and flexible i hit so many thing and draged it for miles

i drilled holes and ziptie it cuz i dont care it was only 40 bucks new i will be replacing it soon
theres more cracks all over it but this is the only pic i have

if u look close u can see all the battle scars it has

fatsquirrel · 01-06-2012, 02:15 PM

just got mine installed, ill post up some pictures later. its not too bad.

norkkron · 01-06-2012, 04:01 PM

just put mine on yesterday. same one being discussed above with the "weld" on the back. doesn't look bad imo.
