Its the ebay SKP replica lip. Someone already test fitted it and has the same gaps as your pics in middle portion of the front bumper. The gaps in there is due to the difference between fsport and non-fsport bumper contours.

Did you guys take off the bumper to install the lip or just drill the screws straight up?

Installed by just drilling the screws straight up into the bumper. It will help a whole lot if you can get the car on a lift or have it safely elevated in some way off the ground.

You may need to bend and adjust the edges to fit. Initially, I had the same issue but after bolting it on with the two main center bolts on the underside. Once its locked in the center, try to get the edges lined up and bend it. Take your time with it and be patient as it will adjust it as needed...

I think it's cause they're waiting for more stock since they only have 1 left and they don't want the listing to end especially with that many watchers.

I'm having the same issue. Wondering if I could sand it down to make it flush.

Thumbs down

Was a nice mod while it lasted. Hit a chunk of snow on the road and not only did the lip pop out on the side, it put a 2 inch crack in my bumper.
The snow got caught on the part of the lip under the fog light, the part that doesn't fit very well.

Thankfully the crack is not very noticeable since it's the bottom edge. I plan on plastic welding it on the back side when I take the bumper off later this spring for my bi-led headlight install.

Taking the lip off and throwing it in the garbage.

Sorry to hear that and it was unfortunate that it cracked your bumper. Sadly, I think we all take those risks when putting any front lip on our cars (lowered or not).

Sorry to hear that - i did see snow accumulating on the lip as well but didn't really think it may be a problem. If the lip wasn't there, would it have caused more damage? Was the lip screwed in to the bumper?

If the lip was not there the snow would not have accumulated in that spot, it would have slid under the car. It was like driving with a catchers mit.
The lip was screwed into the bumper, because it was secured very well, when the screw ripped out it cracked the bumper in that spot.

I purchased an aimgain front lip for my 2015 fsport but it doesn't seem to align so I'm guessing it's for a non fsport numper. If anyone can help me and tell me if this is how it's supposed to look otherwise I will sell it.
