Default Polyurethane Vertex-Style Lip, Anybody?

Trying to see if anyone has purchased this and get some feedback or photos. They sell it for 140 shipped.

If the fitment is good, this price is way better than nextmod. I believe their price was 190+shipping.

The quality of nextmod is good but the fitment of it wasn't great at all. I made the mistake of buying a nextmod Vertex lip... which had terrible fitment. Sold it then bought the Real Vertex lip afterwards. But hey who knows... the one posted above may be better. Can someone confirm the pic of the car used on the eBay page is sporting the polyutrthane lip shown in the ad and not the real Vertex lip?

I can't speak for Vertex but I know many people on the forum has Vertex full kit from Next Mod and are satisfied with it.

I previously had Fabulous front lip and rear canards from Next Mod. The fitment and quality was spot on.

because its polyurethane, it can be bent out of shape from shipping or from sitting long.

I got it test fitted and decided not to install cause it was too low for my DD. Long story short my body guy sanded it a bit, but im not sure if it was necessary for it to fit well or he did it just so he can make it fit perfectly.

I havent since been able to contact my body guy cause im studying in Italy until May.

The only reason i got it was cause another member on the forum has it installed and he said the fitment was on point. He showed me pictures and it looked good.
