Default oem type R lip ques.

hey fellas,

My friend just purchased a " type r " lip from some guy on EBAY.. He put on his ad that it was for an OEM type R lip. I was wondering if there was anyway to tell the difference between a real one and a fake one.. I am really leaning toward that its fake because it doesnt seem as it was made of good quality.. Its really flimsy and feels like it would break if i dropped it.. Any way to tell if its fake or real? Thanks

Will

The real OEM TypeR lip is made from fiberglass that is if it's for a 97 style front.
(feel free to correct me if I am wrong.)
