just installed my replica lip, fitment was okay... i had to completely cut off all 3 tabs on the underside and used the 3m windshield adhesive. i applied the adhesive on the lip and on the bumper. put the lip on and put alot of blue tape. after I put books under to push up the lip more and thats about it. will post pictures tomorrow

pictures of the lip installed.







if you use the windshield adhesive be ready to clean off the excess, I wasnt really ready so I can still see excess adhesive but not very noticeable, also on the lip the driver side is a little higher then the passenger side by less than half an inch and the passenger side moves up and down a little bit but not alot.. overall the fitment was alright you just have to cut the 3 spacers on the backside of the lip to make it fit better.
