My eBay lip. Fitment is a 7 or 8. Went this route cause it's likely to get beat up. Spent 80 on lip and it's urethane. 125 on the carbon wrap and to have it wrapped by a shop. So $205 and it's durable. But you got to sand it so the wrap will stick. I have no worries about scrubbing it or stuff hitting it vs a real one.

The lip i got was not from ebay but from an online vendor so ill chime in. website was www.rocketz.net, a Vancouver, Canada company. it is the veilside/mines v1 replica. the description for the lip states 03+ so i was a little hesitant to order it so i phoned the company and the guy said its the 03-05 lip modified to fit the 06+. i ordered it and 5 days later received it(i live in canada). I could of left it not painted but wanted it too look nice. its black with the gelcoat. if you drive a Z you should not cheap out and mount it without painting itIMO. Lip costed 100$ + 60$ for shipping plus 20$ tax. i painted it gloss black for an extra 100$ so for 280$ im very happy. great alternative to the real lips, and a upgrade from the cheap ebay ones. fitment i would say 8.5-9/10. around the edges of the bumper it holds great, you can mount it with no support and it wont come off. screw on each side and 2way tape in the front is a must. approx less than 1/4" off on each side in the middle of the bumper.

**********Can you all post CLOSE up pics?****************
Posting pics of an EBay lip from 10 feet and calling the fitment good helps no one and only shields insecurities.
Its like people plati-dipping their rims and taking pictures from 10 feet away saying it went on perfectly with good edges.
We all know what a lip on a 350 looks like, we're more interested in the fitment.

@junkster i would consider emailing or phoning them to find out shipping costs could be worth it. yes sorry i took some fitment pics today, not the best cause of the dark underground. Like i said its a good price/fitment lip. when your car is low you dont see any imperfections really. you can get rid of the minor gaps with two way tape, i used some but it would look even better with more but i really dont care. and yes i do need to touch up paint the front! pics taken from driver side to passenger side.

For the price the fitment isn't that bad. I could definitely live with it. Have any of you tried heating the lip up before installing it? Like leave it outside it full sunlight all morning or use a heat gun? Especially around the edges that may help a little. But Zedsdead and spunout, your lips look good.

nope never thought of that. two way tape is your friend. for side gaps you dont really see it. we look at the bumper itself from side angles or in front of the bumper. very rarely you will look birds eye view looking down to see the gaps. just my 2 cents.

a member here has the same lip on the 03-05 body, he didnt paint it.
