And I know one of the member here said it lower his car a few inches. Is that the same with you? I was going through so many photos and was hoping it just lower a bit...like an inch. Just dont want to go through all the drama of parking, driveway, dip and bump..

My car is not lowered and I have the side skirt extensions which gives it the illusion that it's lowered. Their return policy probably involves a restocking fee and you have to pay to ship it back. You better off just selling it in the forums classified section for a local pick up. I had it shipped to my door in about 5 days which was rather quick.

Another reason why I want to add the side skirt extensions!

Here is my issue. You guys see that underneath bumper of mine? I still can't imagine how the metal clip from the lip would be fit on to my bumper thou

[lsturbointeg]

Wondering if you'll have to remove that splash guard?

[jasonle89]

What is the splash guard lol. Is that the big black plastic piece in the photo of my bumper?

See...looking at the lip with that metal clip, the width of that section....it seem like too small while the width of my bumper in the same section seem too big....

can anyone have the OEM M Sport tell me if that section of yours is the same as mine or it's thinner?

[jasonle89]

If the clip is flat out like this.....it seem more possible in my case...but dang..this is the only lip with that type of clip and it's fiber glass. Im trying to avoid fiber glass

[lsturbointeg]

Yeah...you'll probably have to wait for someone to chime in who's got the same setup as yours. Suck ur running into that issue!

[jasonle89]

Ahhhh...I dont think it works. Went to one of the ebay seller warehouse. Tried it on, the clips actually fit in but then the front part doesn't. They said aftermarket bumper usually shorter than OEM, that's why. Idk if their lip is too long or what they said is right. Dang it....like that lip so much

Here are a few pics of my install

[jasonle89]

Thanks for the photo. As I said above I might have to find someone who successful install v style on the "aftermarket" bumper. I went to the warehouse and it actult doesn't fit right

[jasonle89]

Oh I see. Sigh....I guess it really just dont work for me. When I tried it on, the sides showed some gaps, the middle section too

Bummer...you can always buy an OEM and replace the bumper if thats what you really want.

[jasonle89]

Lol if I know that at the beginning, I would. But now...too much work thou

[jasonle89]

I think I just have to..live with it. Or hopefully someone have done installing the lip on aftermarket bumper would help

[lsturbointeg]

That's a big A$$ gap in the front! Dang... Maybe you'll have to go to another lip design and sell that one?

[jasonle89]

Is that really a gap? I thought it's shadow. Idk

That was a test fitting shot just to see what it looked like.

[jasonle89]

Oh I see

[jasonle89]

I first painted it in black. Look so off. So I redo it in white. I think it's better and clean. Doesnt fit perfect but I'm ok with it
