I love the AP1 bumper, but not without some kind of lip. I got this one from BaysonR just like everyone else looking on EBay. Fitment is 90%. I even used OEM weather stripping for a cleaner look. There are slight 1mm gaps where the fake air vents are on the bumper...but i'm sure it's nothing a little heat gun work can't fix... The included hardware lines everything up perfectly to the factory bumper holes when mounting. Otherwise...I'm fairly happy with my $55 + $120 (paint) purchase. Thinking about the OEM deck lid spoiler now

that does look good.

i'm in the same boat, hard as hell to find someone selling an AP1 OEM lip in decent condition. i might end up with the SHINE ASM replica while i continue my journey of finding and OEM one

Looks real good. Only issue I could see is possible inconsistency with the fitment on those lips.
Looks good none the less though.

Yeah you're right, because although others may not notice, since I installed it, I can see all the slight imperfections in fitment. But not too much of a choice since it's pretty hard to find an OEM one these days. Still, I don't regret it since it was fairly cheap.

Thinking about the deck lid spoiler now...they can be bought painted on ebay...not sure about fitment though...

Check out this thread below dedicated to the eBay AP1 deck lid for concerns regarding fitment, quality, etc.

Looks clean. How much was the oem install kit? My last lip I used double sided tape and the black stuff. I like the look of the black border for oem and may do it like that if price permits.
