Buying an Ebay bumper lip

Alright.

So I was going to buy this lip on ebay for $80. Looks cool and all, my only concern is that it will break on me as soon as I install it.

Has anyone ever bought an ebay lip before, and how was it?

Unless you have any other suggestion where I can buy a lip, then this is all i really have to rely on. I'm willing to spend up to $150 on a cool lip if that means it will last me and not break.

I used to have the eBay lip, initially looked good when I first mounted it and had it paint matched... But geez, when hot summer days came by, the sagging issues made it look so bad. Definitely learned my lesson. Only thing I miss about it is not having to worry about breaking the polyurethane compared to fiberglass.
