I found the below lip on ebay, has anyone purchase this?
Is the quality good?
Is it in fact plastic, or fiber glass?

I usually go for original items, but I cannot souce this anywhere for a reasonable price.

Yep I bought one, and returned it. Awfully, the cheapest form of fibreglass I've seen. A really cheap and nasty bit of kit.

My mate bought one too, but he actually painted it and fitted. Soon after he parked up next to a STi with a geniune lip on, it didn't take long for him to realise how nasty it was, so he soon got rid of it.

It just doesn't fit properly without a lot of fettling. When fitted it just looks like a silly fibreglass add on, like a Southend Nova boyracer.

Wait and buy a proper one, or buy a different type of splitter. I'm not sure why but I've not seen many good copies of this one. Eitherway don't buy the one on your link. You won't be happy with it.

I E-mailed the seller after I bought mine to ask why it didn't have the grooves to make it look like a three peice, like the ones fitted to the blue and silver Impreza in their photos.

Their answer, "We didn't have any painted so we photographed a pair from some customers we know. They're ones are geniune splitters, hence why there is the grooves."

To me, that read we're not confident in the final finish of our product so we'll palm these geniune ones off as our own.

Thanks for the heads up! Do you know anyone selling the original ones? I have to resort online, as I'm from Malta.

Yep, heard good things about the Scoobyworld one. As always, you get what you pay for.

Are they supplied in 3 pieces, and is it plastic? Would I have to drill any wholes to make the splitter fit, or is it a matter of just bolting it on my bumper?

tiny gsy

it is 3 pieces, iirc looking at the bottom of my bumper there are a few brackets holding it to the bottom of the bumper and 2 a couple of screws on the top. Would imagine the screws on top wouldn`t be necessary if fitted with mastic or a strong bonding agent

I think it is plastic, seems to be quite solid anyway

lol. i thought mine was a genuine one but it was one piece. still had the grooves tho. until i tore it off on a curb and then had to fibreglass it back together. It was 3 pieces at one time.

I bought one from that ebay guy.

The quality and fit is not great...

I did have to fettle around with mine to get it on, but since it's been on, it's not moved a bit:
