well i'm going to put in an order for 1162mm. ideally i'd like to have it sit closest to the edge as possible but if it turns out it's too long i'll either sand it down or move it inwards slightly. i'll be sure to post close-up photos of fitment/location and give exact measurements if there's any gap (hopefully not!)

^That works. I'll order 1163 and report back as well.
Putting in the research for G35Driver peeps.

Where are you going to order from? I'm thinking about the place in Cali

i'm probably going to go with oem.thing from ebay. there's too many generic vendors from california & taiwan to keep track of who sold what to who. seems like oem.thing got consistent good reviews and he takes custom length orders.

Hmmmmm. iris18608 said they would do a custom length for $25 and they were also really quick to respond, but I have also heard good things about oem.thing, not sure if I want to pay extra and have to wait on shipping though.

oem.thing is charging $65 for a painted lip based on the length i specified and i know he'll only charge more if you want him to set up an auction since he gets hit with commisions. auction price is then $70 (you save $0.60 if you go with auction + bing = $70 - 8% = 64.40). he said total turnaround time from day he receives payment is approx 10 days (i assume it's 10 business days). if you go unpainted, it's only a savings of $10 for total of $55 and shipping would prob be cut down by 3-4 days.

i was actually getting body work done which is why i was considering the unpainted lip but for $10, might as well. all reviews say the paint is dead on match so not a big deal.

I'm not looking at $10 extra though, I'm looking at $40 extra because I iris18608 said they would do a custom length for $25 unpainted. I'm getting some paint work done anyway and the paint guy won't charge me $40 more just to spray a lip spoiler along with some other stuff.
