Difference between LIP manufacturer question

zulus370Z · 05-01-2010, 09:44 AM

Guys,I want to purchase a lip for my car or replace the whole bumper, which has a huge scuff
The lip that appeals to me, the most, is the VIP status that has been posted on here by a sponsor, but while doing a quick search on EBAY, I came across the same one, but $1XX bucks cheaper and its the whole bumper in 1 piece.

My question is, are most of these kits built by the same manufacturer, but different retailers? or does VIP and extreme dimensions make their own.

Also, would you consider putting this EBAY bumper on your car?

Cliff notes: My bumper is messed up. Should I fix the stock bumper and add VIP lip or should I just get this EBay bumper

Thanks for your inputs.

i would just get a new factory bumper and do wat modshack did. have it painted but not the fang area. done. you wont even have to bring the car in. just have the bumper painted and you install it.

Mine is black. So can't go with that option of not painting the fangs.

I would steer clear of any company that you haven't heard reviews about. The fitment could be very questionable.
