Glad I found this thread. I was looking for a nismo lip for my '03 but I found out that they are discontinued. Came across the ebay knock-offs, and thanks to you guys, found out that they are complete garbage!

I guess I'll look into getting a real Ings+1 LX sport front lip..

saywat?

^actually per actual evidence posted in this thread 1 person bought one that was shitty and another bought one that fit nice lol...jus tryna give a diff perspective but yes its hit or miss on ebay

Took me a while, but finally mounted mine. After massaging most of the gaps away, I would give fitment 8/10. Really not that bad considering what I paid for it, 50 bucks.

This is the driver side, wasn't really an issue here, some minor gaps, but worked them in using 3M side moulding tape and it's super flush.



Passenger side, gaps were really noticeable on this side, but worked them in as well using 3M, only issue is the corner, kind of pops out a little.



There still are some gaps in those pics, but I took off the lip since then and remounted it again, and this time around its perfect except the passenger side very corner. Here are some shots far away, sorry for the shtty phone pic quality.

^ nice. looks like it fits pretty good and u put the screws around the bumper/fender instead of like some people into the "face" of the bumper

im thinking this or the "style king" lip for my 07 carbon silver coupe.

anyone have that cheap ebay lip?

Great fitment Do you think that heating the center part of the lip it would fit to the center gap of the bumper?

I wish someone would make an "ebay" lip that was more subtle. I wouldn't mind having $50 hanging off my front bumper instead of $500.

you seriously can't get any more subtle or boring than the nismo replica lip... unless you want a lower front bumper cover like the wald design (IMHO doesn't even classify as a lip)

I was thinking along the lines of Mine's, VeilSide, or even a Chargespeed Bottomline style $50 polyurethane knock-off. I'm surprised someone hasn't made one yet.

I just bought one of these lips. If you have the lowering springs...the lip will make the car too low. Im going to have to modify mine to fit. But Dang...Marrocco...It looks sick!

-Ebay lip for 49.99+ shipping.
-Get a heat gun (not a hair dryer!) $8 harbor freight tools.
-Go to Auto Zone/Advanced and buy a can of bumper coating(made by Duplicolor), adhesion promoter(spray can, also Duplicolor) and 800 grit sand paper.

-Mount lip with one of the four screws in each side and get it lined up best you can (don't use 3m tape yet). Use heat gun and mold that thing to fit. Take your time and it will be near perfect!
-Remove two screws holding lip and remove.
-Light sand with 800 grit then wipe with alcohol.
-Use adhesion promotor (not the one that came with lip for the 3m tape. The one you bought for the paint) Then paint with bumper coating.
-Let dry then add double sided tape
-Remount lip and bam. Professional looking install!

You do not need to spend your hard earned cash on a 3-$400 lip that is going to get thrashed sooner rather than later anyway if you drive your car everyday. If you are handy in anyway at all you can make this thing fit and make it look good!

If you are looking for a lip to bolt on and have perfect fitment out of the box then don't buy ebay lip. If you want to save hundreds of dollars and easily make it fit in an afternoon......buy it.

Thinking about giving this one a try... I'll probably end up mounting it with the bumper removed so it'll be easier to work with.

Just did one today that i pickedup from BrasonR. Easy install. Literally took under 30 minutes and fitment was about a 9.5/10.

i just bought a nismo n1 front lip replica and I'm confused it came with 4 metal brackets. there in the picture on the link below. i am having a hard time figuring out where they connect


thank you in advanced

saywat?

u shouldn't need it. looks like rivets. probably jus to make it extra secure by attaching it to the engine splash guard. that's my guess but u really don't need it

marines z

by the way that lip fits good the only problem is around the reflectors the is a small gap

marines z

i didn't think i did. but I have access to all the tools to do it at my work for only a couple more months before i get out of the marines so i figured it might be worth making it as strong as possible.

saywat?

nah its not worth it. tape and 2 screws each side is more than enough.i suggest using "u clips" like these to really give the screw something to hold on to.



post pics when done.
