Ebay parts ... opinions??

[1991cc]

It's significantly cheaper to get these parts off of ebay than it would be off of protege garage.

Would they be decent quality? Has anybody purchased no-name body parts off of ebay?

Oh, and does anybody know where I can get clear side markers (the orange ones on the front bumper).

Ultraflex fiberglass my ass... if you are getting a bumper or lip and don't want to be fixing it all the time, get one made of urethane. I have yet to see ANY kind of fiberglass not crack when you smash it into the road at any speed.

As for the grill, I've heard they don't fit quite as well as the DG grill, but will work. That is quite a big price difference, maybe big enough to warrant the trade-off.

Thanks, I appreciate that. It is a pretty big price difference, but not enough for me to make the compromise. I intend to have my car for life, so I'm going to invest only in quality parts. Thanks again.

Any idea on the side markers?

man i cant believe that these cars have been out this long and NO ONE on ebay makes a stupid knock off no-name lip - drives me nuts

the lip fits ok, i run it. i second the urethane lip but either will have to be repaired if u hit somthing. and as for the grill, DONT GET IT. it fits the regular protege sedan and not the msp, protege 5, and mp3 bumpers.
