V-Lip spoilers have to be the biggest "scam" in the Subaru community. You pay hundreds of dollars for a badge and thin piece of plastic that'll break the first time you hit a parking curb. So much for rally bred durability.

Don't get me wrong...I like the look of a v-lip, but wouldn't pay more than $100.00 for one. That's what it's actually worth.

Sorry to be hatin'
I'd look into getting a V-Limited replica. They're polyurethane, so probably much more durable. I got mine used, and yeah, it was a little beat up.

The funny thing is that the lip itself is worth about $75.00, but the JDM badge makes the cost of the lip $500.00.

If this isn't a scam, then I don't know what is.

I gotta stop taking my grouchy pills.

lip and sideskirts look good with some nice rims body kits are to much money and just get ruined driving around.

check out rav spec. They had some good prices on there lips last time i looked.

i got a spec-c lip from ebay for 175 and install was a little bit of a pain, but nothing a few zip ties couldnt handle.

YUP, I agree with you Justin... Like my brother and good friends always say, "POWER IS NOTHING WITHOUT CONTROL"
