WTF?!?!?!? Wh doesn't someone replicate this lip or something similar to it.

while searching I was able to match up 'pro-staff' to R-magic but R magic is a rotary tuner (RX7, RX8) I think exclusively so that doesn't make sense.
and there is a pep-boys like Pro-Staff automotive company in Japan that makes aftermarket stuff, but mostly hubcaps and air fresheners and stuff.

Hello, got some messages about the lip, so I'll post here instead of replying to each one.

I just got the lip and positioned it on the car to see what it would look like. A lot of people have told me I shouldn't have painted over the CF but there were scratches and I didn't have any other CF on the car and didn't want to just have the lip being the only CF on the car.

A closer look at the label and the sides.

Just got it back from the body shop. It's a good shot of the front of the lip to show what the designer had in mind for the air flow.

The back view of the lip. The lip came with five screw holes (and screws of course). You have to drill 5 holes in the bumper(not the under body). You have to take the bumper off in the process so you cane screw in the screws from the other side.

The five screws are not the only thing to keep the lip in place. On both ends, there came 2 pre-drilled bolt holes. You use the existing 350z bolts that are on the ends of the bumper to put through those holes(anyone who has taken of the bumper should know what I'm talking about). The lip is actually really sturdy and rock solid with this setup.
The Fit was surprisingly perfect. the lip hugs the bumper and I didn't need to alter anything. I think that is why I got this lip, I liked the fact that it went under the bumper instead of those other lips that went over the bottom of the bumper.
As for replication, I have had a few people in the past suggest I replicate this lip, but so far, no resource in this city to do it. Also, replication would be a bit more dificult then other lips as we would have to replicate the screw holes, that doesn't work too well with material other than CF.
