Okay... I contacted them again and this time they were more helpful.. I guess the first guy didnt know jack. spoke with someone else they said its prolly a bad batch and they will ship me a different one once I ship them mine.
Like Erick said.. he bought 2 and both fitted great.

I tried every way possible to test fit it. Also tired calling them and they told me to use a heat gun to stretch out the urethane... Really???
did any of you guys have to do this??? ill take pictures of the lip once im off work.. Kinda disappointed in xcessmotors when I heard good reviews.

i was tripping out too but i called them and everything is good. i already sent back the lip and waiting for them to send me the right one. Erick ordered 2 lips within a month and its good for him. i guess i just had a bad batch. anyways im just waiting for the new lip now. In the mean time.... here some pics of the first lip the sent me.....
as you can see... the lip looks nothing like the TTE Rep that everyone else have.

I know under the listing/description it says its an exact fit to OEM bumper, so if you have an aftermarket OEM probably won't be an exact fit may need to mold it and tweak it a bit.
Got mine in today get it all painted and hopefully put on tomorrow see what happens, test fitted it fits excellent.

that does not look anything like the tte lip.
the test fit most people need to cut off the tab to make it fit and if you want a 100% oem fit you need a heat gun and sanding
the thing about the tte compared to other lip is its a lot harder to get to fit flush due to the way the lip is (the top part needs to be double sided tape)

Good thread! I'm new to the club and am looking for a lip kit for my '03 GS430. Can someone give me a crash course on the pro's and con's to the different types of materials? Urethane vs. Fiberglass vs. Carbon Fiber vs. ? Thanks in advance... QAH
