I have the same lip on my car, Its the JDM Fabulous Replica. Fitment is spot on, looks great. Guy is a great seller and he does a great job with the quality of the lips he produces.

I dont like how the sides have a gutter like lip on it, but thats just me. Over looking that, i like it. And if JMc says fitment is good, go for it.

There are many seller on eBay advertised for their carbon front lip. But actually their product was a normal material and wrap by a carbon sticker.

Anyways, you need to get confirm before put an order.

Get it....It's cheap. Plus you'll just scrape it anyways if you're low. Can't baby a front lip that much!
