It's $94 USD (inc postage) from Rainbow Motorsport in Malaysia.

One of the few items that aren't cut in half.

They sell a lot of other stuff too (some nice interior stuff...) but they don't seem too popular here because I haven't heard people talk about them. Popular with 9g and PL I think.

I've been asked before to organise a group buy for the V-Lips.

I know Scorpion Motorsports in Malaysia were the first to design these. Obviously Rainbow has copied it.

I've never seen the quality of the Rainbow product, so I won't advise a group buy of anything we've never seen.

The Scorpion product is more expensive since it's made of PU and they spent quite abit in the R&D of it.
Rainbow bought one, copied the design, so $0 R&D allows them to sell it for much less.

I have approached Scorpion's rep regarding a group buy before and have been rebuffed. We did it a long time ago but he's no longer receptive to group buys. Too much effort for reduced gains for him.

I've not dealt with Rainbow before and don't want the problem of getting a dud product.
The Rainbow option looks cheaper. I suggest someone get one and be a test case. If it is really good and made of PU, we can organise something.

They don't like to ship in one piece. Anything over 105cm they cut, otherwise they'll literally charge you $1000 for shipping in one piece.

Ive received a PU bumper before over 105cm and it was only $85?

BUT in saying that i havn't known them to "Cut" the PU products but rather Bend them so when you receive it you apply heat and it at least goes back to 95% of its shape. From what i know :s

But we will look into it :)
