I've had the replica nearly 6 months you will need to cut the 3 tabs off or shave them down enough for your lip to fit flush against the front bumper, it's easy work keep shaving until everything lines up aside from that the fit was right on the sides lined up perfectly.

So I bought the lip a few weeks after posting this...I got it painted and all but I havent installed it lol. Ive just so far shaved down the tabs and now the holes on the tabs are too big. cause before you shaved it the hole goes big then small...how did you guys mount them ?

Anyone buy the non-fiberglass replicas? In my experience, they are always too short and won't go on without eventually tearing the end of the lip. I just got one off eBay and it is the same thing. I moght go the fiberglass route next, but I don't want it shatter when it hits something. Where are you guys getting your lips?

I've seen more reps than authentic lately sooooo guessing it isnt that bad for those on a budget. There are authentics available in classifieds a few times each month.

gotta love polyurethane... if it was fiberglass it probably would have cracked...
