I had an offer of around 800-1k from someone in orlando(but maybe it was bogus, I don't know, I will consider any offer that isn't ridiculous) and would prefer to sell it locally rather than ship it across the country.
I just took a few closeups of flaws in the paint on the lips on all sides of the car..
The front lip needs to be repainted without a doubt.. The second picture shows a tiny spiderweb in the paint on back lip that I think is barely noticeable(there is more than one). The third picture looks like a scuff mark(left lip), maybe it just needs to be washed? The last is just one single small crack in the paint on right lip..
Bottom line, if you are looking for a kit you won't have to paint.. keep looking. But unless your car is electric blue(buy online), I don't see that happening.. I am giving full disclosure here.
I am in the Daytona beach area of Florida.. have any questions, shoot. I have had offers as low as a few hundred dollars, so please don't try to lowball anywhere near that badly.. Anyways, post in thread please.
And I plan to take the lip kit off the car as of this weekend, sometime between april 10th and 12th.. so if you want another pic while it is on the car, ask now.

The lip kit pictured in my signature.. except it includes all sides(can only see side and rear in pic).. I may find my old thread or the pics I took.. ok, here it is(bunch of close up pics)99 prelude lip kit value?
Back then I was only seeing if there was any interest in the kit.. now(that I getting the stock pieces tomorrow) I am ready to sell.

I am not splitting this up.. and if you look at the pictures I posted in the other post you should be able to tell me if this is OEM or not.. the guy I bought it from payed about 1k for it, so I imagine it is.. I can take more pictures if needed, but actually look at the pics I posted in the other thread please!
My main reason I want this picked up is because I want to ensure whoever buys this is happy.. and that I don't get ripped off by a bad check or who knows what other scam, meeting in person usually avoids both of these
(Btw I just got back from picking up the stock parts for my prelude, so I will be pulling the lipkit off the car by this weekend I hope, tell me SOON if you want pics while it is ON the car!)

Oh, two things. First, if you don't give me a question I can answer, or a location/offer there isn't much I can do.
Second thought.. The original parts(the black trim one removes for the lip kit) look fantastic if you use mothers back-to-black on them!
So.. if anyone is truly interested in my lip kit, how about some offers?

Look on this page Toward the bottom on H and A and you will see their prices.. they have the rear and sides in electron blue and the front in electron blue or flamenco black.. mine are in pearl white. Total for all of them is $774 and 149.80 for shipping. Oh, and if your car isn't electron blue you are still stuck paying for you paint(I imagine upwards of $250)
So someone who has a pearl white car would need to pay maybe 90 bucks or so to get front lip painted.. and would have it for less.
I said don't offer me a few hundred dollars, that would be a waste of my time.. but I have offers still in my inbox of 1k shipped or 800 picked up, so it must not be that high. realize I am asking for whatever the highest amount someone offers is.. it is only worth what someone is willing to pay.
And to wxy117.. if you got a "new one" it is likely not an oem kit, which would explain why you paid half as much(that or you have a VERY nice friend who sold it to you). If that is the case I have a replica mickey mantle card I can sell you for a few thousand.. looks just like the real thing!
Either way, no one has yet said what they WILL offer, only what they won't.. lame. Maybe I should post it on another prelude site, lol.
As you will see(if you looked at the pics) the front lip will need to be repainted, but the sides and rear look nice to me! Unless your car is different color of course..

Well, I am only selling them the lip kit because:
A>I cannot afford to get the front lip painted and it makes the whole car look a little worse for wear
B>I need the money for classes over this summer(or a variety of other things).
If they don't sell for more than a couple of hundred dollars I will end up just taking off the front lip and it will look much better. It is the same idea as my system, I would sell it, but I would never fetch anywhere near what it is worth.. so shoot me a reasonable offer, and if no one else offers better, chances are it is yours.
So to earlier people who said they were interested, shoot me an offer..

I just took close ups of the only flaws in the paint, just in case someone has a pearl white lude they want it for and don't want to repaint it.. they can see what it would need.
Also moved the link to the top.. and plan to update it as I get requests for information. I said I want to sell locally, but I am willing to ship.. chances are slim of someone being in central florida area who wants it, right?
Anyways.. still up for grabs and about to be removed from the car!

Okay.. what is a fair price anymore? I don't want to turn down someone and find out later that the value of the lip has dropped that much.. but I am getting offers much lower than I had less than a year ago. Any thoughts?

still available, off car, sitting in garage. No I will not sell them separately, and I will be more than willing to ship if you attain the quote from the company YOU want shipped with and prepay for the item. Payment must clear before shipping..
In other words: Bump.

I am not sure what it costs to ship the lip kit but it is sitting in my garage waiting until someone pays 650 and actual shipping costs.. or someone who can pick it up locally. Either way, if you offer me a certain amount shipped please provide your zip code or find out how much shipping to you is from 32127(and make my day a little easier). I have no problem going to whatever company you want to ship it with but I don't have the time to go to 4+ places to get the best price so I actually get what it is worth.
And before anyone can ask again, I will not sell just front or back or sides.. they are a package deal. Sooner or later someone outta jump on this I think.

I bought my OEM factory kit straight from honda (no it is not discontinued) for 1100 (tax included). Had to special order them from Cerritos Honda in person (they don't deal with over the phone order for this product).
Hope that helps with your pricing.
The lip kit itself is pretty cheap, it is the paint that is.. $_$
