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.

It's a combo lip, I'm pretty sure I'm the only one that has it on my car, the guys a great seller, met with him several times, he's the same guy that sells the fab replica, fitment on this lip is even better then the fab lip

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!
