Just got my front lip (and rear diffuser) painted and installed today.
Pretty happy with it!

This is a replica PU M performance style front lip.
I picked it up off the vendor Selma on ebay for $185 USD shipped.

The fit is very very good to excellent for a rep part. The parts that wrap over the stock bumper appear to fit about 98%. When looking at the lip installed on the car, it looks almost perfect. However, if you look underneath the car, you will see that the bottom diffuser part of the lip is a little wavy (a bit too long?) at the back side. However, you can only see this when you get under the car to look at it. Looking at it from the front, the front looks flat and even.

I would not hesitate to buy this lip again.

I ended up painting the part that wraps over the OEM bumper in body colour (carbon black) and then had the diffuser portion painted gloss black to match the shadow line. For the most part, this two tone is very subtle, but in good lighting/sunlight, it provides a pretty cool/different look (I did something similar with my m perf rear diff, painted the fins gloss black and the rest of the diff carbon black).
