looks pretty good. my dad gets REALLY pissed when people ( mostly ebay ) charge more for shipping that it actually costs trying to make money. he works for the post office so he knows how much shipping SHOULD be. he told me that he could call and turn them in for shipping fraud or something like that because u arent suppose to do that.

companies on ebay jack up the shipping and handling costs so the buy it now cost seems low and fools people. they can't get them for shipping fraud because it is shipping and handling they can just say it costs them so much money to package it and pay the person to do that..sux though but seems like a good price overall.
look at it like its $125 shipped thats a good deal. but check sites i checked jdmcarboy they don't have your car listed so i don't know anywhere else

I had been looking at new lips also, and you really cant find cheap shipping on those, although 75 does seem a bit much. 75 for the whole cat-back Evo2 or WS2 seems right, because that is big and heavy, but that lip is just big, not really heavy. Try looking around a bit more, see if anything better comes up, otherwise go with that. It looks great either way, it's a much better alternative to getting a new bumper/body kit. It doesn't look god awful ricey, and it adds a lot to the car.

guys...i dont think you're looking at it the right way. its shipping but the product itself is dramatically lowered. theyre still making profit off of it because...well say it takes 100 bucks to make one, then one realiter sells it for 120+$5shipping to make 25 bucks, then another sells it for 50 but 75$ shipping, but they still only make 25 bucks. theyre not ripping you off, theyre just putting the money into the shipping and hoping that people dont notice that and are more willing to buy it, and they in the end sell more than they would have if they put 120 with a 5 dollar shipping price. you're not spending any more money, theyre just presenting it in a different way so they get more customers. its not illegal, its not a scam, because theyre not overpricing their products (and that isnt even illegal because they are putting the full price on there, people are just stupid and dont read the whole thing)

people do it all the time with engine swaps and turbos.

ps dj...i like this one:

that is waaaaay too much for that lip. i've got the same one and it only costed me $40. then again, i bought it from a guy on a site. maybe you should wait for someone to put one up for sale...
