As some of you know, I bought the replica OEM front lip from eBay. The communication with seller was good, although no phone number kind of made it look shady. However, thanks to eBay buyer protection policy, I went ahead and made the purchase. The lip was delivered here in Waterloo, ON within 9 days. The under spoiler itself came in black, I need to repaint it somehow to match my car colour (starlight black pearl).

Quick facts:
- Made the order on Tuesday, December 8th
- It was $160US Shipped ($173 CDN)
- The lip was shipped on Tuesday, December 15th (I got the tracking number from Greyhound)
- Came to my door step in the morning today (Thursday, December 17th)
- The lip looks decent with smooth finish
- The material is light weight, not as solid as the genuine OEM lip
- It does look like the real thing

Alright on to pics (Please ignore the mess in my room :p):

I will also update the thread when I take pics of the lip being test mounted on the car. If there is any issue, the thread will have that information too.

Conclusion:
I hope my review helps at least one Accord enthusiast in some way or other. I do not expect the lip to be as perfect as the genuine one. However, for the looks, this should do. People who have genuine front lips, should really cherish them. I still miss mine; hopefully the replica will be good enough.

UPDATE
I went outside to test fit and fits like a champ! I could not get the passenger side properly because there was a nail from previous lip. The driver side looks great cuz there were no nails. Overall I love it! Check out the pics:
