Ebay front lip

So I decided to put on my ebay front lip yesterday and here are the results. The fitment is god awful and the paint job that came on it had to be done by a 2 yr. old, but thats what I expected from an ebay lip.

I got it because i love the way the lip looks and since im am for sure gonna bust it, id rather pay for a poly lip and not a 300$+ cf one. anyways hope you all like it, a little too low for my tastes, so ill probably raise it up a bit or switch back to the stock lip idk yet. Ky roads wont let me rock this much low haha.

(sorry for the crappy cell pics)








(cant even fit my foot under it )

how is it a bad fit?? i have the same lip and love it, it has withstanded some crazy debry on the highway and no scratch on it, second of all that is not paint its a primer paint, and third of all you need to let it sit in the sun for a little so it softens out to make the installation a lot easier....i think it fits good.

the fitment dosent look horrible from the outside from a far, but out of the 15 screws that hold the lip on, only like 6 or so lined up with the stock screw holes on the bumper, it was a mojor pain in the *** just to get the 6 screws in, still had to force it to fit and the other holes were so off you couldnt even man-handle them in place haha

here is the company i got it from on ebay:

it was a lot cheaper when i got it, must have raised the price since they were actually selling some

did u get urs from 4caroption as well? maybe mine was just a bad one cause it sucked fitting wise i even did have it sitting outside for a while. i guess a good wet sanding would probably help the look of it. they told me through a pm before i bought it, that it would be painted black. it was black just not the black i was anticipating i guess

again for the price i paid im happy with it, still fits on the car (to an extent) and looks pretty good minus the paint
