I think there is a member here who sells replicas that fit like OEM. I can't remember his name though.

Honestly, just get an real OEM lip and call it a day. Save yourself the effort from getting a replica lip painted and having fitment problems.

Don't forget that although your lowered, the OEM lips still have excellent clearance.

the material used for the replicas is better, now as far as fitment, we never ran into any problems with the replicas. ill post some pictures with the replica on my friends BB but it came out PERFECT. no fitment problems.

I have one painted sitting in my garage. It's been in my garage for about a month, simply because the fitment is absolutely HORRIBLE. I don't even know how/if i'm going to be able to make it work.

Might just sell it and buy a J's half lip ;]

Good question Wyatt, 'cuz I was thinking the same thing! Some seem to fit well, like HankookS2K said and others not too good. I guess it could depend on which vendor each person bought it from. Maybe you could all let us know.

Is it that easy to crack the OEM bumper?

That was the worst my old lip was off, and that could be fixed by a little 3M tape. I forget what vendor I got it from.

i think maybe then its a certain vendor that sells the good ones, because i believe some people are getting ones that fit like $%^& and like myself, ness2000, and latinochino have gotten exceptional ones. ill look on myebay to see who we ordered from
