Yep, and plus it's not like everyone wants an OEM style lip either. Some people want this style or look and if they can get it even cheaper than OEM that's even better. So were not really comparing this to an OEM lip because it's completely different.
I'll try to get some decent pics of the under side of mine.

Aren't you guys in the States can obtain OEM lip for pretty cheap? Like $350ish.
I'd prob go OEM if I were you guys since they come painted. If you buy this lip for $80. After shipping + painting + some adjustment work, it's gonna cost close to OEM price.

well figure $110 to your door + $150 (max to have it sprayed and fitted) that's $260....pretty big difference between that and the $400 you will pay for an OEM shipped to your door

i have this lip and have had it on for a while now. the hardware is lacking as it does not distribute the load properly and will make the lip wavy at the bottom. i DD my S2k at least 2hrs round trip 5 days a week. it will sag a bit under wind load. but that is not the end of the world. i used some hardware from homedepot to stiffen the lip itself since the urethane used was too ductile. this fixed the waviness and the sagging. other than that the fitment is a 9/10 for a replica. honestly you cannot get any better than this. just add a OEM weather strip and you are golden. hope this helps

Here is the pic. When bolted up it made the inside a kind of wavy, but that doesnt even matter since the outside is perfectly strait. I didn't even know it was like that until I took this pic haha.

A replica lip like this never will unless you make your own custom hardware. They just drilled holes and mounted them with some nice screws and it's held up great. I have no complaints and even though the underside is wavy it doesnt matter because A) Nobody will ever see that, I didn't even know until today..and B) from the outside it looks great and lines up great. You can't really ask for more for $115. By no means is it going to be 100% perfect you know, only OEM will satisfy those needs. With that said I really do wish it would all just line up and bolt on with no drilling and such required, but with replicas that's hard to come by.
