Default ITR LIP wingswest vs jdmshit

Which one is better? Is there a difference? The wingwest is 139 plus 75 shipping and the jdmshit one is 199 shipped.

Or should I just buy the usdm itr lip off ebay for 85 shipped?

I prefer oem personally. Now I know its more expensive, most of the time 3x more than the replicas, but you CANNOT beat the fit/quality. I'd rather spend the money on a real one and spend 5 minutes installing it rather than getting angry trying to make a replica fit right. Just my .02.

They are replica, but wingswest and jdmshit are the two best replicas. I heard that jdmshit is the same manufacturer as the comptech.

You mean this one? Ordered it off ebay and the one they had pictured didn't look like this.

Ok, DONT use ebay. Ive seen too many people buy oem type r lips and get what was posted by kevinm. The Comptech or wingswest youll at least get what you see pictured. I also HEARD that jdmshit was bad, but Ive recently heard good things, so Id say jdmshit, thats where Im going most likely.


BUT NOT EBAY!!! A kid got the oem lip off ebay, once he recieved it the seller changed the picture and as you can see, the some oem lips DONT look oem... like the one above. But hey, if you like THAT look go buy a cheap one off ebay.

Very true, but I know for a fact that jdm **** lips don't come with holes in them for mounting, so you have to drill your own. May not be a problem for you, but as I said earlier, I prefer the oem.

Exactly, Id rather not pay 500 bucks for something that will break if I hit a dead coyote. Plus, the ITR lip is played out, and Id shoot someone if I actually decided to get an ITR lip and got the ebay paper weight. Theres buying a bad product and thats your fault, then theres bait and switch and Id murder a fkcing ebay user if they tried to pull that ****.

But since ebay took off their negative/neutral feedback due to too many complains that were ebays fault. hahaha yeak FCK ebay.

Wingwest has been around since like 1992. I am sure that they are high quality. Guy on ebay has them for 9 less then wingwest.com so its like 205 shipped.

From what Ive heard ww is a really good quality company, Ive heard A LOT abou the mugen rep, Ive just never seen the ITR replica. But its on a 98, so thats why I didnt see it haha. Personally if it looks EXACTLY like that then the ww one looks awsome. I can see the different between the oem and ww, I might like the ww one more tell you the truth, its like its not as suttle as the itr, but a LOT less then the ebay replica.

I wouldnt think it is the same molding. If it was it would have a perfect fitment. To me it seems like the sides near the wheel well flare out slightly more then the oem ones... but thats just my opinion, they are devisatingly close.
