Mine matched up but had to be hogged out a little as they were a bit small.

if you by chance have a SE lip that is why...you need attachment pieces to make it work

if you have a oem ix lip then everything "should" have lined up

^correct if you have the stock ix mr lip, not the se lip, you don't need any additional pieces.

yes when I installed mine, half of the holes didn't line up at all so have fun drilling away

I had one on my old VIII and it fit perfectly, except one of the holes that mount to the cross memeber was off.

on the bottom of your lip you will see a rubber edge that extends out a little bit, you have to cut this so its flush against the lip or else the splitter won't sit flush against the lip. You will see what I'm talking about once u put the splitter against the lip.
