Does this look like a worth while deal?

I'm looking into selling my wings west front lip and switch over to an oem front lip. This actual honda oem front lip is for sale on ebay and by some luck from the honda gods is painted the oem silver I need.

It's going for $330 shipped
JDM PRELUDE TYPE S BB6 SIR FRONT BUMPER LIP SPOILER OEM | eBay

Is that a fair price? It looks to be Satin Silver Metallic, which is my car's color.

It will look weird with WWRS sides and rear; the sides sit lower than the front lip.

Yea I'm in the process of selling the sideskirts too and switching to replica oem sideskirts. The one's commonly seen on ebay. HONDA PRELUDE SIDE SKIRT OEM BODY KIT 97 01 98 99 00 | eBay This isn't a deal at all for the front lip apparently. handa-accessories.com has them for $168 painted + shipping.

Well the H and A lip is Electron Blue Pearl or Nighthawk Black Pearl (all other colors have been sold out for years), so you will have to have it painted SSM (~$100), and shipping for the front lip from H and A is ~$50 bringing you within $10 of buying the ebay one.

depends how much $$$ you will be able to get for your WWest lip.

I think the OEM lip looks great, and they are always in demand, so resale value is high.

I guess that one on ebay is off a 1998 prelude. Making the silver it's painted in "Nordic Mist" and not 2001's "Satin Silver Metallic".

I'll either end up buying the H and A lip and repainting it, or hoping somebody sells me their front lip. Still looking for sideskirts too.

Nordic Mist is more like the 99-00 Crystal Blue Metallic (my '00 SH color)

Yea exactly. I'd rather wait to buy an oem front lip from someone here or just get one new from Handa-accessories. I sent the guy a LOW ball offer on ebay, we'll see.
