Default Fake CTR front lips

I want to get a CTR lip for my 96 coupe but I can't see spending 3 bills for one from jdmhondaparts.com. I'm wondering how good are the fake ones? I saw one here

for like 85 bux, and the shop is in my area, but I don't want to get it if it's gonna be really cheap quality and look like crap.

If it's fiberGlass... it's not worth it... fiberglass chips like Dorrito's... buy cheap, expect 'cheap'. Save your time, money, and headache, get the real deal!

If it's ABS plastic, then I wouldn't be AS worried.
What about fitment of the knock-off's?

yea fiberglass knock offs I would never buy. I keep seeing knock offs that are made of abs plastic, which is better, but then fitment worries me. I guess I could always drive down to the shop where I saw it advertised and ask them if I could place the lip up to my bumper to see how it matchs up.

I got Mugen replica ABS plastic lip for $90shipped. Fits rather well and I don't have to worry about cracking a $300 lip.

Fake Mugen: Looks the same, costs less, no worries, no Mugen emblem

Real Mugen: Looks like itself, costs a lot, worry about it all the damn time, Mugen emblem

You pick
