Mugen knock off front/rear lip for $195 shipped




Well for whatever reason, the seller's supplier never came through and I'm now being refunded my full amount. I had placed the order Dec.12th and went through this whole ordeal because I never recieved confirmation and such and I just contacted the guy to find out that I'll be getting my money back instead of the items becaues the supplier sucked ***** or whatever

I REALLY wanted this too... so now the question is... getting my money back, it's not much but I definatley can't get a front/rear lip for that cheap (unless I pay an extra $50 to pick them up locally from an ebay supplier about 2hr drive from my hous)

So the option are:

A) HFP Front lip only (don't really like the sides or rear in all honesty)
B) Mugen knock off front lip only (or maybe fork over a litle extra cash if i can for the rear and stick to the plan)
C) TWM SS kit w/weighted shift ****
D) Progress rear sway bar
E) open to your suggestions

let me stress I was REALLY looking forward to getting this front and rear lip paint matched onto my car, but that's not gonna happen anymore... I'm soo bummed now


<FONT SIZE="5">Update:</FONT>
To make the long story short, the guy I bought from still has not yet sent me my money through paypal. I've called paypal to see what I could do. So I relayed that message to this ****** and said he did send the email I asked him to send. I contact PayPal again and no email been sent. So I contact him again and he gets all pissy with me wanting MY money back cuz he has 50 other people calling him. SO, he gives me the number to the dood that was suppose to be his supplier and says that he has my money.

So at this point, I'm like Geebuz H Crimany!!! So I call this guy and ask if he knows of the guy... he says yah. So I explain to him the situation and he is very understanding and says "well... not suppose to do this but as good business practice I'm going to ship them out to you".

Cliff notes: I'm still getting the front and rear lip. My GF's dad is body & fender man so I got the hook ups on paint job

so your saying those other options you listed were stuff you wanted to get cause you thought you werent going to get those lips?

i still think the sway bar is also a good option if you have any $$ left over
