Plus you can order it painted from them for an extra $85. I just got a V1 lip for $329 (last one from Evasive Motorsports), but have to find a place to get it painted now. Kinda wishing I'd just paid a little extra and gotten it already painted from Intense.

^ if you get it pre-painted, is it guarenteed to fit correctly?...'cause otherwise it seems stupid to have it pre-painted if it might have to be modified to fit perfectly

I've had both. Fiberglass V1 and currently the urethane Nismo. I liked the way the V1 looked but I didn't like the fact that it was fiberglass and that I scraped a lot more when I had that lip on when compared to the nismo. I like the nismo because it's urethane, I don't scrape anymore, and it still looks good.

Veilside quality and fitment is second to none. Their urethane is great. I stuck my lip on last night for a test fit and it fit like a glove; you won't have to do anything with a pre-painted lip but take it out of the box and stick it on. I'm just going to drop mine somewhere to get sprayed and instal it myself.

I think it depends on what you are doing with the rest of the kit. I think the Veilside will work better with most kits, but here's a pic of the Nismo to get you "hyped"

here's a pic of a v1 lip.

I'd highly recommend on getting this (or any lip) in urethane.

btw,

It doesn't really sit any lower, but the fact that it is longer and has those big corners takes some getting used to. The curbs here in Vegas are tall and rolled like a big speed bump so the corners sometimes hit if I don't approach it with an extreme enough angle, whereas when I had no lip there were no corners to hit. Getting it on a trailer is the only other trouble I have had, which was also due to the corners of the lip.
