Has anyone tried this front bumper lip?

damn_Zexy · 07-30-2012, 08:45 PM

Hey everybody!

I know i'll probably get bashed for this but has anyone had any experience with this lip?

JDM 2009-2012 370z SL Racing Front Bumper Lip (Urethane) Z34 VQ37VHR | eBay

It seems to be legit, but its low price and ebay origin have me thinking twice.

Any input or alternatives would be appreciated

I remember someone on here did it and liked it.

That lip is 120 shipped. Its also urethane.

Shine makes an excellent product but this lip is so cheap that it would make me feel a lot better about bottoming out.

IMO it'll be good for a disposable body piece but don't be surprised it fitment leaves a bit to be desired, op.

I have it. It is cheap. But I'm just going to go with the shine auto lip. Mines for sale if interested. Its urethane so it needs some heat gun to straighten out the middle.

I was going to order through there website. I think UAM sells them?

Up until very very recently all the amuse reps sold by CS and UAM were made by shine auto. Now aero jacket started making them aswell, but shine still makes them for CS and UAM.

So, with that being said, which one has better quality and fitment? Shine Auto or Aero Jacket? Or are they the same? Disregarding price differences (if any, I didn't bother to look it up).

I've had both. For me, Shine had a better fitment. Quality was basically the same as far as surface flaws, etc, but the Shine piece could be manipulated more without stressing the material due to their "hybrid frp" material.
