Not really sure. If you could throw out some options with some numbers that would be great. Yours looks really nice. How do you like it, how much, and did it clip on and line up with ease?

i've had the jdp do luck lip($340) and now rexpeed do luck($360) both carbon fiber. the jdp you have to drill the holes which allows you to play with your fitment and the rexpeed comes pre drilled but didnt line up right, i had to play around with it. dont forget these lips are mass produced, so fitment will vary depending on mold. the jdp lip uses hardware from stock lip, rexpeed comes with all new hardware. both lips are good in my opinion, but i'm still going to get the legit do luck lip($700) when i have the funds.

Just out of curiosity... How are these comment constructive? This is why everybody gets so pi**y on these boards. Try saying something nice instead of a b.s. comment to some member. If u can't say anything nice why not move on to another thread? It's just irritating when someone tries to help another member and gets a smart comment thrown at them for not reading the thread title properly. No one is perfect.

Why not help the OP out since he was the one that asked for advice. I would've but the info I had was already posted.

All I asked was why couldn't u just leave the negative comments out. That's all relax man. It's the internet. U don't have to bash on people is all. That's my two cents. We can agree to disagree.

I had a do-luck rep from Rexpeed that fit well but not perfect because it came pre-drilled and can't adjust it. After cracking it I got the hook-up on one from Carbon Creation that fit a little better because I had to drill the holes and adjust the lip to fit the way I wanted it to.
Hope that helps..
