I purchased it from this Japan tunner, you could check this out !!

further, it is very easy to fit, only took me about 15 mins.

just cover on the priginal lip directly, and lock bolts on, finish !!

I purchased the spoiler through below link's company :

http://www.fromjapan.co.jp/en/


it roughly is $500 USD, but I am not sure the handing fees and shipping cost

to USA, cos I live in Taiwan.

you could check the prices through the website.

Hope this would help you guys...

PS: I spent about $680 USD to get this item, included all of fees. I have no

connection with this website, just introduce it to you, but I always purchase

Japan stuffs through this web.

Hi Everyone,

I have purchased many things from Japan with no issues. Run the site through google and get this:

http://translate.google.com/translat...hl=en&ie=UTF-8

You can contact them directly and ask for costs and shipping details in english, just ask them to use DHL and signature required. Most places will be more than happy to help and get you the info. No reason at all to use that broker site (fromjapan) !

Currency calculator: http://www.xe.com/ucc/

So the price not including shipping for the black version is: 44,625.00 JPY = 417.994 USD

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Roberto

The lip looks great- just like I expected it would when we first dug this up. Is is made of plastic/urethane, or is it a fiberglass material?

Any chance you can get some higher quality photos? I know, I know...beggars can't be choosers. But please!

I'm really interested in this- if only somebody in the states was up for making a reproduction.

This thing is beautiful but looks to be worth about $150 to me, not $700 with shipping.

That's sorta my sentiment; it's exactly the look I'm going for, but looking at it there's no way it's worth the amount they're asking. A matte-black plastic lip kit would be a solid $250-300 from me on the high end, but that's (of course) why I'm hoping some US entrepreneur gets inspired and makes a knock-off for 1/3 the price.
