Default Finally a nice lip for 2011 bumpers

This is an eBay replica of the vertex lip. Looks really good in person. Some crappy iPhone pics. Fitment is not great but can't complain. It's the only lip that I like for 2011 besides the f sport. It lowers the Front another 1/2 inch. Which was what I was going for.

ehhh...not a fan of this, IMO it takes away what makes the new bumper so sick and kills the aggressiveness of the jutting lower grill. With this lip, it looks like a 2009...

I am going to have to agree with quick123 because I have an 07 and I love the 09+ front ends without a lip. It looks so aggressive and classy in my opinion.

But the lip looks good! I installed the same lip via eBay for my 07 and the fitment is whatever, but hey, you get what you pay for!

I don't know what you find aggressive in the 2009 bumper since it looks just a tiny bit different then the 06-08 ones. However the 2011 bumper is completely redesigned.

By the way it's nice that someone started making lips for these new bumpers but IMO it kills the look of it, and I'm not a big fan of the vertex lip either.

My mistake. I was thinking of the F-Sport bumpers! It's simple and sleek.

i picked up the same lip and love it, the fitment on my look great, but maybe because its black, so i guess you dont notice.

Like I said these pic doesn't do any justice to the lip. It really does look awesome in person. If u ever taken a picture with a camera phone it never really comes out the way u want to or they the way u thought it would. I have no photography skills.

This ^^^ +1 I agree 100% maybe I do have to see in person, but it definitely doesn't look that aggressive anymore

Wow looks good. Tooney's is custom fit Vertex. Was thinking to do the same thing but now this ebay lip looks great too. Just wonder about the fitment how was it?

The part that touches the lower grill ruins it for me.

Yeah same, I think that strip would look better painted black
