Help with this front lip please
I want a front lip to protect the tip of my bumper but I don't want to extend it much lower and forward than stock. And, I am not willing to pay an arm and a leg for it. It seems this one fits the bill. Anybody used this lip before? I would appreciate if you can let me know before I order it.

I got an authentic TOM'S front lip. Fit like a glove. The lip isn't too sophisticated so I'm sure a knockoff probably wouldn't fit too bad.

I have bought one of these and it was delivered earlier this week. I have not gotten it installed yet, but like you, I hope it fits perfectly. At this point, my plan is to leave it unpainted so if it gets scuffed, the black would not show through the paint which is the whole point of having it there to begin with. The website recommends professional installation, I suppose especially if you are not comfortable doing it yourself.

It's obvious when it's unpainted. Unpainted black plastic/primer isn't glossy and will fade over time and have some white/gray to it.
Rattlecan just means use some spray cans with close to body color match or gloss black and some clear. It's easy and only costs a couple of bucks. |

Had it on my car for a while. Fits well, has a small gap near the grill edges but you can put some body kit trim in there.
