i just bought one should be here on friday will see how it goes
but $57 shipped is a hell of a deal considering im going to be dropping the car on skunk 2s so i know the lip will be hit lol

 

OP: Your screen name and asking about ebay lips make me

 

I bought mine from seller "ixtab_imports" 2 months ago, and got a paint shop to make me a rattle can of paint that matched my car. Total cost for everything including lip, paint, sandpaper, and shipping was under $150 (lip was $60 shipped).

Fitment looks pretty good to me, better than I was expecting. It's got a small (2-3mm) gap in a few places, but if you want perfect fitment you can always pay 3 times as much and buy OEM

 

If you order the weather stripping off ebay for like 5 bucks i think it is it will cover any of those gaps.. OEM comes with stripping as well

 

Looks good, quick question for you guys.... What do you guys do to make the lip stay up (in the middle) and not sag down...? I just installed mine and it appears to be slightly lower than the above posted pic....

 

Do it right the first time. Chances are, the fitment wont be satisfactory and you'll run into headaches. The weatherstrip idea sounds good though.

Also, a bad paint job will start to crack and have webs form after a bad chip or scrape. oem paint ftw.

 

there's two way to do this:

you can rigid mount the lip, but if you scrape it, the paint will crack because of the pressure

or you can mount the lip with the frontal area area loose, that way the lip will move if you ran into bumps and dip, no paint cracks, the downside is that there will be a slightly larger gap.

I personally don't mind for gap, it's a knock off and it shouldn't be perfect. For a show car finish, get oem, you can't beat the fitment. as for teh comment about oem paint: you get what you pay for, you can get much higher quality paint job done than oem finish, trust me, i does that at work

 

was considering buying this lip, do you guys find the gap to be that much of a noticable annoyance?

 

 

I got an ebay lip and contributed to another thread with a bunch of pictures. Check it here.

Like others said, you get what you pay for and fitment varies depending on the install process. I used zip ties to pull the lip tight against the bumper and a couple of bolts (see the thread above that I linked to for photos). That eliminated almost all of the gaps. There is a small gap on the passenger side that's barely noticeable. With this method the lip has plenty of vertical movement so when it scrapes it doesn't even scratch the paint.

I don't have any close up shots of the gap but are a couple of old shots.
