Cool Help me find a good bumper lip! (2006 G35 Coupe)

Okay, so I bought a lip from ebay. I thought it would be at least decent.
I was wrong.
It was crap.

Can anyone tell me where to buy a good front bumper lip for a 2006 G35 Coupe? I believe I have the sports bumper, but I'm not sure. It's 6 speed MT with the 19" rims. I prefer the OEM front bumper lip or something like this:






This one is mine:



I prefer people who have actually bought one or knows if it's a good part.

Don't tell me to go to ebay or to google it or I'll motorboat you.

Thank you.

Any chance that the lip I bought was NOT for the sports bumper? They didn't mention any of that on the ebay page.

Judging by the pic and listed compatible years that is for non-sports front, it will not fit. Might want to try to talk to the seller now and get a refund.

It says 2006 though. And the picture never helps. That looks like the OEM Sedan lip. I just trusted the seller and even asked him if it'll fit.

It does fit 2006, just non-sports. And you shouldn't be looking at what the lip looks like, you should look at the car it is mounted on. It's clearly a non-sport front bumper and a <2006 year car due to the headlights. Not saying that the seller shouldn't have told you, but buying off ebay and the sellers likely don't know or don't care and just want the sale. That's why you use our vendors.
