Sucks that I can't really get one because of the stupid winters here ... that thing will fall off during the first snow storm. Shoot the factory bumper took a beating in the snow last year so I could only imagine this

You didn't see my post above? I'm a cell phone height off the ground (lower now) and lip has been fully molded for years on NYC streets. Just have to adjust your driving.

lol, angles is the best way for me to describe it. It's held up extremely well (knock on wood) considerering it's only cracked slightly about 3 times over the years and right at the lower corners.

There are certain roads and highways I avoid as much as possible though. The under side of the car gets 'hit' more than the lip with my ride height... Keep saying I'm going to raise it a little but when I turn the corner and see her sitting low and mean, I get all sentimental.

This is my current ride height (coilovers)

Very brave man. I cracked my stock bumper while riding at stock height last winter and damn near ripped off the bottom shroud because the ice and all that garbage was so hard. The snow storm last year was pretty bad so maybe this time around it won't be so bad.

@RLGS300... yes... the bumper was repainted along with hood and fenders. It didn't need it but the shop suggested it so it all would match nicely.

Wow those molded TTE lip looks really nice. OEM bumper should have been like that. Okay, so does anyone have this lip on a GGP GS? seems like i havent seen one with it yet.

what exactly is the difference between the replica and the knock off? All I can notice is the badge in the middle of the original.. idk but it seems the knock off might be the way to go if your on a $ budget
