Default Honda/General JDM forums?

I'm looking for a lip for my Integra, and finding one used isn't easy so far. I'm a member here(duh), Team-Integra.net and Honda-tech.com, but I can't find anything on those that is close by. I'm not trying to pay insane shipping for one. Are there any other forums that I don't know about? Whether it be Honda specific or just a general JDM forum. I found some stuff on www.j-spek.com but last time I checked, that forum was closed. I'd like to get some stuff before I get my car painted, so I can make sure I like how it looks/fits/yaddayadda. Thanks.

What type of lip? A Type-R replica?

If your 757, Parts-eXchange may have a couple... You can get them for about 65 bucks for ABS ones. A little more for C-F.

Any type of lip, preferably not a Type R, and preferably not a replica. If I'm gonna get a replica though, its gonna be of something other than an R. I've been to P:e, I'm just looking to see what I can get on the used market.

Why don't people want replicas? Is the Japanese Inspector going to come and do a full work-up inspection on your lip and put a "Not M4D TyT3 JDM" sticker on your windshield?

I don't get it, I thought this craze was supposed to die.

I had a replica. I thought of it like this, if I spend 300 dollars on a real one, and it gets messed up, then I threw that money down the drain.

I just bought a 65 dollar replica, and bashed it up. Now I'm back to stock.

mad JDM DC4- JDMcarboy has pretty good deals. I don't know of anyone selling replica lips other than P:eX. Sorry.

Probably because everytime I read people's reviews of replica parts, they fit like ass. I don't feel like wasting money on something that looks like crap and then buying something better. Don't worry about how other people spend their money.

I'm a "Knit picker" when it comes to parts.

My Coupe had a replica, like I said, and it fit extremely well. If you have a cheap ass bumper, then it will flex and it won't fit correctly. They fit, trust me on that.

Want me to post up pictures? The only ones I have are while it was bashed, so fitment got off...(a little)

Was it from JDMcarboy? If not, know of any reviews of their stuff? That C-West replica is enticing, since I haven't been able to find a real one for sale for the past few months and I haven't been able to get in touch with the only person in the area who used to have one.

Most replicas fit like butt, and/or have glaring differences from the authentic piece.

Some people like to be fake baller and feel good about having the authentic stuff.
