Default Bought the SK Style lip off eBay

So I got this SK Style lip off eBay from seller MagicDrift Aerodynamics as I know many members have bought this lip off of them and had pretty solid reviews.

Needless to say, AWESOME PACKAGING!!!!!!! /sarcasm

Seriously, I've ordered bunch of front lips in my life but never seen such a terrible packaging like this. I've not opened it yet but I plan on doing it today.

It'll be fine. The L-style lip I bought was packaged almost the same way and fit like a glove.

Sweet. I feel a bit better now. Do you have a pic of your baby with the L Style lip installed you could share?

np20412, that's a sweet ride man!!

I like your setup and the CF wraps. Did you paint the front lip? Also, did you paint the grill or wrap it? Also, what's the black area on the doors? Is it just for looks/vinyl? lastly, is that WellVisor?

Thanks! Front lip is unpainted, just the flat black the lip came in. I considered wrapping it in CF but then I got lazy and once I installed it to see how it looked I didn't want to uninstall. Grill chrome is wrapped in gloss black. Door handles are wrapped in CF and in the top image, i just bought the lower door molding from eBay and wrapped them in CF as well. It's just a piece of stainless steel trim that's stuck on with tape, but I like the look (similar to lower trim found on LS).

Yes on Wellvisors.

Good stuff. Looks like you've turned her into the crafted line edition!

Hey @np20412 , the L style you have on, does it require drilling on the side of the front bumper, or does it just use same clips underneath the front bumper? I got the SK style recently but it doesn't look all that great anymore IMO.. I examined the lip and it's not smooth all around either so it will require some sanding for me to be satisfied. I'm leaning towards the L style lip after seeing it on yours. Looks much cleaner and closer to OEM. look You mind PM'ing me which one you bought? for the grille wrapping, did you remove the front bumper to get the grill out?

Thanks in advance!

@Amuse350z Thats the one I bought and lots of other members also have. Looks like right now he doesn't have any in stock hence the price. When he gets them he prices it back down to $60.

You don't HAVE to drill to install. Lots of members have installed with just tape. I installed by using the self-tapping screws that come with it. Using this will put holes in the plastic under the car but it makes for a cleaner install in my opinion. Two of the holes line up with existing bumper screws, the rest will be new.

I had the grill wrapped by a local shop but they did not take the grill out of the bumper to do it. To remove the grill I belive you need to remove the bumper.

I have returned it to the ebay seller. They graciously accepted it as it wasn't even mounted and in original condition.
