I think he didnt install it right because it sags below the black....that or it's the lip.

Don't blame me, I'm just the messenger.
Agreed. The top of the lip should butt up against the silver on the bumper. It looks like there's a 3/4" gap.

i got mine in the mail and we did a test fit it fits like a glove apparently but i can't say 100% sure cuz is not painted and installed yet. It only comes with a couple of brackets and screws so your body shop might have to put a few extra brackets to secure it better including double sided tape. It looks even better in person. I got quoted 100 for paint +50 for installation

I would is only 100 so might as well. The seller I bought it from told me he only had a few left but there's other auctions so I don't know exactly how many are out there but I didn't wanna take any chances. I bought it and put it in the garage to put it on with my other mods come spring. I was strongly considering putting it on now lol but I should wait. I had a really low fiberglass bumper on my previes car throught the winter and nothing happened, this is Poly so is even stronger, but I've never driven a RWD car in the winter so god forbid I spin out and wreck the lip.

it will be really hard to wreck a poly lip. It will be ripped clean off the bumper before it gets wrecked.

yea thats what i meant. then i'd have to pay to install it again and maybe even repaint it, poly wont save it from chipping due to rock hard ice
