Are these lips worth it?

Looking for a Prodrive for my 03 WRX, and I found this

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/pts/1729941811.html

Has anyone dealt with them before?
The price si right, but is the product good?

I bought a replica prodrive lip awhile back. Guy promised perfect fitment. Wasn't the best once I put it on, was low on the passenger side. I took it back off the other weekend finally and fixed it so the fitment was more to my liking. Here's some pics to show you what I'm talking about.
before:


after: which I think looks a look cleaner


When I took it off to fix it I used a dremel and cut off a lot of material that is on the back side of the lip that touches the bumper. And cut off the ends of the lip that wrap around the bumper into the wheelwell, cause the lip couldn't sit where it's suppose to be cause the mold isn't perfect. Idk, hope it helps.. Still worth buying

I didn't buy from these guys though. But everyone of these shops get them from China. and as long as it has the Prodrive stamp from when they made a mold of the real thing, then you're getting the same replica everyone else buys.

The unclaimed url on their ad scares me.

You really get what you pay for with body parts

I hear that alot, So where can I get a Prodive lip for my WRX. Besides Prodrive, the price for them are a bit to high for me. I'll buy them there if I can not find a better deal.
