Default 2016 Ebay Front Lip

I just came across this interesting find on eBay. For about $270 CAD all in, I don't think it looks half bad! Since our options are somewhat limited in the ground effects department, it seems to add some personality to the car. However, I'm not completely sold on how good the colour match will be lol! It's still cheaper than the Car ACT lip but isn't moulded to the contour of the bumper.

Thoughts?

I personally would not pay that much for just that. Maybe if your car is already lowered and you have a game plan to avoid curbs, parking garages etc, and you don't get snow where you live, go for it. If you're looking to attract women that don't know squat about cars they might not even notice it if they're into you more your car. It's not a functional upgrade unless it makes you feel good about it.

Doesn’t look good. Cheap plastics. And also worsens your aerodynamics and high speed stability.

It wouldnt look too bad if you have other mods done like suspension and wheels. Is that a 3 piece splitter?

Really no way of making the front end look better other than painting or wrapping the middle bar below the grill.

Don't forget, OP is in Ontario, Canada. By the time you factor in shipping, currency exchange, taxes and duties, that price may not be as high as it first appears. And it's "new", not "I tried it but didn't like it".

Not sure how it would look on the 16+ facelift but I've seen it done on the 13-15s where it doesn't look half bad
