Just wondering if anyone has one or has installed one, does it have the reinforcement bar like the oem, and just wondering how fitment is.

Thanks.

Ask Gino if you can do a dry fit?

I would go OEM or find a different style lip. It drove me nuts.

My buddy bought the same one and has the same problems. He's chosen to ignore them

Are there the same problems for the rear diffuser?

Rear diffuser is usually less problematic. The only challenge most encounter is a minor gap on either ends of the diffuser and bumper.

Usually hardly noticeable.

Now this is with the polypropylene version. The CF product depending on the vender can be a pain.

I got a CF one from eBay. Some gaps for sure.

I got rear from extreme, fitment pretty good except for what kc mentioned, minor gaps but not really noticeable. Ended up picking up the front anyway, oem was 4x the price so I'll chance it haha, will let you know how it goes when I fit it

[tigger_643]

Fitment is not exact (minor gaps as others have mentioned) but not terrible. Holes for some of the bolts don't line up - this happened both with the splitter and the diffuser. But, as you said, OEM's are much more costly.

The diffuser is the best over the front lip and side extentions. As I've already noted the front lips has gaps.

The problem with the extentions is they get wavy as you look at them from a lower eye level.

My suggestion is go OEM for front lips and extentions. Diffuser is ok with replica.

If you don't want to spend the cash on OEM look for a different design lip that doesn't require tight tolerances or suck it up with the gaps.
