Default any thoughts on this lip for the 2006 to 2007 front bumpers ?

ok guys I just picked up this lip locally and it's specific for the 2006 to 2007 front bumpers.


it's suppose to be a Auto Couture stye replica but if you take a close look u can tell it's not the same. the lip actually curves out more than the auto couture original lip.

anyone have any experience with this stye ip ? it's plastic polyurethane.

Yes, and it Fits perfect 👌. If your lowered like most of us, backing out of driveways is imperative, oppose to exiting residential driveways head out. It will scrape. And I'm not even that low

ok guys, got this front lip on.

it's not bad, had to massage it in to fit. It's nice for a oem style lip for stock oem look.

I'll have pics tonight.

but this is NOT the auto couture replica style and it is nowhere close to the pics u have seen in this thread.

here u go guys, I wouldn't say it was a perfect fit but good enough. I guess it's the 3gs version of the 2gs TTE lip. I actually prefer this over the auto couture style and all other lips on the market. IMO it blends well to the car without having to also have side skirts and the rear bumper kit.

Im about to order one of these myself. I think it looks great, car just needs lowered!

How did you attach it to the car? Double sided or bond?

My cars black so hopefully itll hide any gaps that may appear with fitment quality.

Its maybe the pictures but the silver on the lip and bumper don't seem to match that well
