but does it have the mounting tap with or without holes?

and the ebay listing does say that it comes w/hardware

maybe max can answer this

i have this lip and have had it on for a while now. the hardware is lacking as it does not distribute the load properly and will make the lip wavy at the bottom. i DD my S2k at least 2hrs round trip 5 days a week. it will sag a bit under wind load. but that is not the end of the world. i used some hardware from homedepot to stiffen the lip itself since the urethane used was too ductile. this fixed the waviness and the sagging. other than that the fitment is a 9/10 for a replica. honestly you cannot get any better than this. just add a OEM weather strip and you are golden. hope this helps

Yes it comes with hardware, but I wouldnt use it. My body shop used some of their own hardware to put it on, so I would just go to the hardware store and get some more heavy duty stuff. Also the lip does have some double sided tape on the edges but that isn't going to matter much, as long as you get the better hardware you will be fine. I daily mine, scrape it everyday (i'm only lowered an inch, but my driveway is a mountain and even going slow at an angle I slightly scrape) and drive it on the highway every week and havent had any problems with it sagging or anything. Still looks like it did when the shop put it on.

And you will have to drill your own holes on the bottom i believe

It looks great but now I'm wondering how much it's gonna cost t have it fit/look right w/the bodyshop

and what kinda hardware are we talking about?

does it use the same mounting points as the OEM lip/bumper? cause If those mounts are in place and I just have to drill holes in em that's not an issue

can you post a couple good pics of the underside Max...that would be great

Aren't you guys in the States can obtain OEM lip for pretty cheap? Like $350ish.

I'd prob go OEM if I were you guys since they come painted. If you buy this lip for $80. After shipping + painting + some adjustment work, it's gonna cost close to OEM price.

well figure $110 to your door + $150 (max to have it sprayed and fitted) that's $260....pretty big difference between that and the $400 you will pay for an OEM shipped to your door
