Don't think so. I know there is a full bumper that gives it the same look as that lip, but its a cheap one on ebay that would cost a fortune to get it to fit I bet.

Buy the real thing if you want one of these.

Reason I'm asking if there's a replica is that I know it would only last a few months before I would break it. I've been through 3 lips in the past year driving around Los Angeles. It would be foolish to buy a 1700$ part and worry about dodging debris on the freeway and swerving every pothole.

There is no replica front half lip made...the Mugen front SS bumper has an awful replica made that isn't even close to the real bumper.
Maybe look into replica polyurethane lips, much stronger and won't crack. Paint will chip off...but at least you can always respray or leave it unpainted.

You're obviously a huge jerk if you buy replica parts! Buy the real thing for 10x as much and place it inches from the ground. Don't worry, everyone that knows it's authentic (and 99% of the rest of the world who don't know it isn't) will think you're ballin' hard!

I think most of the people who suggest authentic parts have never driven on a California freeway. The only easier way to blow $1k is to tape it to the bottom of your front bumper vs buying a lip.

You could buy the real thing and make a fiberglass mold...
then if you trash it you could make another one...

I did this with the lip on my C-West front bumper.
