Default Need a good place for a replica lip - ebay??

Its time to finally get my front lip and i'm not 100% sure the route i should go. I've seen great reviews from JNA's customers, but my only question is for half the price i can get an ebay lip to do the same thing. Only thing is with ebay you never know what your gonna get (all the parts, fitment, condition, ect...). Has anyone got a lip from ebay they would recommend? or just go ahead and spend the money with a trusted vendor like JNA?

(mods if this is in the wrong area feel free to move, i wasn't sure exactly where to put it)

Yea thats kinda what i'm starting to learn, if you want something that works go with the ebay one. I acutally just pulled the trigger on the JNA one earlier today. After all the reviews from customers of theirs it seemed like a good idea to me to go with them. Wont have to worry about fitment, sanding/painting, or quality. There just seemed like to many what-ifs with the ebay ones, and if i ended up buying 2 thats the same price as 1 good JNA one. Hopefully i made the right choice, we will find out soon.

Has anyone else ordered and installed an ebay lip that was perfect in all ways?

I've purchased a 75$ eebay one and it looked great! lasted for about 2 years. Trecked on a daily driver to the mountains in snow. GOOD FITMENT. and finally broke on the freeway a couple days ago. Wish i knew which one i ordered, can't find what i bought on ebay

Ebay all the way. Bought mine last week fit great and it looks amazing. Plastic clips are crappy though I accidentally broke one trying to push it in.
