Pros:
Looks good on the car
Poly urethane so it's tough and won't crack like carbon fiber (ran this against the ground many times and all it does is scrape)
Cons:
Fitment is a little iffy
Needs a blast of black paint and clear coat

Other than that, for the price you pay, it looks pretty damn good.

Does it utilize the factory mounting holes on the bumper?

i cant say anything bad because its so cheap and durable. but as for fitment, take your time and use a drill to hammer those screws in, i found like 2 or 3 were way off but after some elbow and getting mad it worked out great.

Fitment is a tiny bit off. Don't tighten down all the screws until all the screws are on. I didn't bother re-installing the stock undertray. There are no holes for them. This lip is more forgiving than the last 3 carbon fiber lips I've had and will probably last alot longer

Yep. The roads here suck and I actually have to angle my car just right when pulling into my driveway or the lip scraps
