let's just say that the fit is dead on, but it is very snug and the CF lip is not too flexible. you have to start in the center making sure it is centered, then work around the ends. the bumper moves a bit to ease this but it is easier once you remove the 4 mounting bolts underneath near the ends (these should line up to allow the lip to be bolted up).

Now that you got it on, I found the same issues. If you slide it up from the bottom instead of trying to wrap it around the end, it slides right on. Be careful of scraping the paint though.

Nice ride. I kinda like the headlights but they would look much better painted flat black or something. Where did you get the Z emblem on the front? How is the quality? thx
