the lip i got was CRAP and i got it from ebayer Slipsteamautoworks. The lip was made so cheap and fitment sucked also.
Some lips are great from ebay but some are just crap, I want to know which ebayer sells a good one?
A few photo's of a Slipsteamautoworks lip of ebay, never again.

how the hell do they fold it, isn't there crease in it when it unfolds.
and judging by the pic on their ebay site the lip is a genuine oem because you can see the rubber lining as these copies that they sell don't come with it... so it looks like it fits perfectly when in reality its not that lip your getting, so is this false advertisement?

I'll be getting this one later this week, my OEM cracked and I don't have enough to get it fixed. This was the only one I could find that doesn't come folded.

STAIN,
I bought one from Slipsteamautoworks a couple weeks ago and was going to do a review but never got around to it. Mine did not ship folded and the fitment was so-so. I actually did not trust the included hardware and bought the oem mounting parts. Turns out I didn't need them but I did have to fiddle with it for two days to get it to fit right. I had the same problem with gaps in the front and one side not mating to the bumper, just like your picture.
What I did was screwed the front of the lip on loosely then shifted it from side to side to get the ends wrapped around the bumper. The passenger side was fine but the driver side looked like your picture until I shifted it around and pressed firmly against the bumper when screwing it in. Then I ditched most of the bolts and used zip ties to pull the lip snug against the bumper. I used zip ties for the three bolts in the front and the two bolts near the ends. The other two places lined up nicely with the bolts.
I can take photos and show you what I did. Don't ditch the lip just yet. I think all ebay lips will have slightly different fitments and it's all in the install.
Let me know if you want pics and whatnot.
Good luck!
