buy real stillen products not knock offs. you will have fitment issues and they are made out of cheap plastic that will crack.

Agreed. If you are extremely careful, the ABS plastic may work for you. But since it's at the most vulnerable part of the vehicle (front and center) you are likely to scrap or crack it somewhere, somehow.

The only place i can recommend using ABS plastic is for the rear valance. Fronts should be poly whenever possible.

If I could do it all over again I would get the stillen lip kit. Mine is cracked on the corners where it meets the fog lights. I have hit so much stuff with my lip that I am surpised it hasn't shattered yet. "knock on wood" ABS rear is fine if you are running a stock exhaust. Others with aftermarket exhaust have said they have had thier lip melt. As for matching, the front lip is a lot larger, squarer, and bulkier than the stillen.

i dont know why people buy things from ebay in the first place i think half the people in ebay rip you off sometimes you dont even get what you ordered. i think its better to just buy the parts from either a .org member or from the company that is really selling the product say for instance you want to buy STILLEN Exhaust then buy it from stillen instead of buying it from ebay. to be honest with you i would never buy a used performance part not even rims because of offset just an example. just my .02 theres always someone on ebay that will rip you off. Never buy knock offs

i had the ebay rear lip at one point and it melted somewhat, also they are hard plastic and if u bang them once they will crack, dont buy ebay lip kits of body kits spend the extra money stillen is well worth it

This topic has been discussed toooo many times here. Some people have issues of it melting and others don't. I am running a Evo II Catback and it still hasn't melted or even shown signs of peeling my paint.

As for the front lip I would recommend paying the loot since that is where the brunt of mistakes is going to happen.

By the way... for the price you can't beat it... try abs dynamics.com
