Default TTE Replica
Just received it today,

It looks/feels like ABS plastic, I dont think its Poly. Just pretty flexable and doesnt seem like it will crack as easy as FG.

Fit was ok not too bad. Will need some body work. has big gap upfront.

Yeah, I'm sorry but something seems to be terribly off with this lip installation wise. I don't think I've seen a lip fit this terribly, ever.

Did you buy it used? Used or not the fitment is pretty bad.

Lol yea it's just sitting on there for test fitment. It's not screwed on. Although I'm pretty sure this is how it will fit even if I did attach the screws.
Just wanted to let you guys know what your getting in too with this lip.

If the TTE was still available NEW, that would have been my choice.

P.S. I take no offense to the comments. Thats why I posted, I knew some where curious.

Was it Kink inside the box?

With heat it can be contoured back to shape. If your not familiar with Heat guns take it to a body shop..they will Massage it for you.

Well I wouldn't quite call it poly. I think it's abs, not sure. Usually poly has a rubbery feel this is stiffer. Some where between poly and fiberglass.

Is Xcess motors = TopGearAutoParts?

Did you order it from Xcess motors and the invoice said TopGearAutoParts?
