Thanks again.
Sorry haha, I spent most of the day finishing up the paint and wash then installed it on the car, here you go. You can see it's not perfectly smooth on the 2 corners. The install... well if you use all the screws then it'll fit well but I didn't want to poke a bunch more holes in my bumper so I only used 2 screws and the rest 3M tape. One side has a slight gap while the other side fits perfect. I'm pretty happy with it as you won't even see the gap unless you lay down to look at the bumper. As long as it doesn't fall off I'm happy. Let me know if you have any questions, fitment wasn't as perfect as I expected, if there are issues later i'll probably have to put some holes in my bumper to hold the other parts of it better. I bought my lip from ebay from a user named benz-vs-bmw. All the PU ones seem to be the same, I'm curious on the difference with the ABS now.

As for JonMotoring they're stopping production of this lip since ebay sells the same thing for cheaper so you're most likely getting the same thing from ebay sellers. My first choice was the ABS form BaysonR but I read it's flimsy, weak, and feels like it could crack easily. Usually people prefer PU over ABS anyways so that's why I got the PU one.

Did you use all the screws? I'm contemplating if 2 screws and 3M tape is enough to hold it well.

I might have to re-do mine, one side of it has a gap and I just tested it out by driving up to 60 mph and it's not holding like it should. Maybe 3M tape + some screws wasn't a good idea. Yours look like it fits nice.

Thanks for posting some up close pictures, been wanting to see some of a PU lip from eBay. I gotta say, those edges look bad, that would really piss me off...

I myself, like a lot of people posting here, have been trying to decide between the ABS Bayson R and a PU STI one, knowing the differences in durability I'm glad you posted quality pictures. I'm now leaning towards the ABS version, especially since I was going to give it a good coating of plasti-dip anyway. I think Plasti-dip over the ABS would make it look nice and protect it from scrapes or dings as long as you're not jamming it into a curb (which would probably break off a PU lip as well).
