    Default SS Lip, What Do People Think?

    Like many other vs owners on the forum, i am majorly keen on the ss lip for my ute.
    Although, as many people can relate, tracking one down off people or the wreckers for a half decent price is hard, especially in my colour midnight blue.
    I have found a few genuine ones, but the price to strip the paint off, prime it up and paint it on top of the purchase price is a bit too much for me considering my wages come in fortnightly from a fast food outlet on top of balancing year 12.
    I came across this on ebay and was wondering if anyone had experience with them. I know they are not geunine but the price and considering it comes ready to paint is a bonus.
    So, my question is. Does any have any info/opinions on these? Anything will help. Such as durability, looks, painting, just generally anything.
    Also if anyone is willing to part with a lip for a good price, i'm all ears.....

    Cheaper to buy it second hand, atleast itll be cheaper and most likely genuine too. I would also suggest getting the front bar bezels too. Improves the look. Its roughly (seen a few listings) y.around $100 for a full kit that mainly needs paint only.

    Bezels are a definite too mate.
    Jeeeeeeeeesus? 100 bucks for a full set? Please point me in that direction. I don't think i am looking hard enough then....
    I was going to pay 230 posted for a lip with shagged paint, geunine though.
    Anybody wanna help?
