When you get a chance post pictures further away and out of the garage to get a better idea. I might pick one up.

Looks great from the front. Not quite OEM enough on the angle shot. I may still buy it because I need a poly lip, only had ABS and Fiberglass thus far, no fun.

Should have one this week. Already have the paint too. I have made 2 oem style lips off of replicas so I will give my honest comparison. I may roll black for a bit though, been a long time since I have had a lip so I don't want to paint it and bump a curb the same day

Looks like good fitment but not a fan of the sides of the front lip where it meets the front wheel well

I might consider going 01-02 couoe front end now with this lip
I was thinking sand it down prior to painting to give it a smoother look from the sides to the front of the lip might give it the oem look

Ok, got the lip. First off, it's not really "OEM Style". The side bulge more than an OEM lip. I mocked it up on my car, not really sure if it bugs me until I paint it.
The good. It is really thick polyurethane. It seems like this lip will actually last, something use 01-02 coupe people haven't really had for our cars.
Secondly, it fits well, has brackets pre-attached and is supported much better than "Mugen" or "Type R" lips.
Lastly, and most importantly, it is very good quality. The ends where it attaches had a small mold line and there were a few imperfections on mine right around the same area on top. I may or may not deal with that as I know how easily front lips get messed up. But on the front, it's just scuffing and primer.
I got mine into primer today, if I got it earlier, I could probably have this preped, primered, painted and clear coated in one day. I hope to have it done tomorrow, need to get some good quality clear coat at the auto body supply place.

I did a quick paint job that I will redo (didn't have enough paint, forgot I used some and it takes a whole can). I figured I would just use this as a good base and be able to see it.
I am having a fitment issue, it's sagging a bit on the driver's side. I don't know if it's me, or the lip, it's hard to install with one person.
Of course, I left my camera at my GF house. I will get pictures tonight or tomorrow.
I don't know if I like it though. It isn't bad from some angles but is from others. Don't flow well with the OEM sides and rear. I will have to decide as I see it more. I will get pics up as soon as I can.
