"Type T" front spoiler = rep of what?

I want to "smooth out" the front lip of my FRS by installing a front lip that fills in the space between the two pointy "teeth" of the FRS. The closest I can find on ebay so far are replica lips that are called "Type T".


http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-2016-Sc...xWAk~r&vxp=mtr


Does anyone know what these spoilers are replicas of?


Are there other lips that are smoother that I should look at? I don't want to replace the entire front cover; just a bolt on lip piece.


TIA

It's a TOM'S rep.

Here's the real deal on my car:

for $120 I'd be all over that. I like that look a lot better than stock

Thanks! A few questions (you knew they were coming ):

Is your Tom's spoiler bolted/screwed on anywhere, especially at the front of the wheel opening or is it held on entirely by double sided tape?

Thanks!


Oh, BTW, I like your car and the look of the lip. Your picture gives a much better view of the effect of the lip than the ebay ads pictures. I am thinking I really need to do this and get rid of the "fangy" look...


second edit: Found a front spoiler (while googling Tom's FRS Front lip) by JP USA that I might like more...


Thanks!

it mounts via 4 screws, two per side on the ends inside the wheel well, and has two built in metal brackets on the bottom that has screw holes which line up to stock mounting holes on the car. The rest is 3M tape.
