APR vs JDP ralliart style front lip
I went through a couple JDP lips on my IX MR. their stuff was really good. the quality was as good as the two authentic ralliart lips i destroyed before I destroyed the two JDP's lol
lol thats alot of destroyed lips. I'm thinking i might go with JDP and try to get someone to clearcoat it or try clear coating it myself or just take my chances with it yellowing and fading. I'm not too scared of smashing it on a bump, i just can't bring myself to spend more than 400 on a front lip
I have the JDP Ralliart replica. As others have said, you have to drill into the black part of the bumper. I don't remember how many holes were drilled, but if I recall correctly there was no drilling required on the sides.
Unfortunately the fitment is a bit off on my copy, and has led to one of the corners cracking. I'm not sure if this is the norm or if mine's an anomaly. I removed the bumper to install mine, and you almost had to pull and stretch the lip to get it to fit around the bumper.
Those small gaps aside, it's a great looking lip.

unless someone is literally looking for gaps, no one will notice those small ones, people dont really pay attn to detail, only the person that actually owns the vehicle can notice something is wrong...so i'd say that its LEGIT and its holding on, from the pix it looks really good. I mean, if there were gaps everywhere, then yea, its an issue, but minor gaps like that, i think its good to go
