I just received the V1 lip, and I notice a problem. I wanted to make sure the lip fits my bumper but it does not fit perfectly. Is this the right or wrong lip for my 08 z?

This is where I got the lip. It says it fits 03-08, which i find odd. since the bumpers vary from 03-05 and 06+

I just contacted the guy and he tells me that by heating the lip (leaving the lip on the sun for 45 mins) will make the lip flexible enought to fit on my 08 bumper. Now I have search threads and I do not see one DIY about heating the lip inorder to fit the lip. I think I shall return it.

Hot damm, this guy wont take no for an answer. I keeps talking that the lip does fit. Its just that your have to heat it up to soften the flexibility inorder for the lip to fit. To me it sounds iffy.
I do not see any threads complaining about this lip company claiming that it fits all Z bumpers.

So, if I were to get either Mines or Veilside (real) http://www.versustradingco.com/#/ite...frp_front_lip/
would they both fit perfectly without doing the heating process?

^^Exactly, I thougth there was an indent on the 06+, shouldnt even fit.
Yes, the mines will fit very well, and the veilside is authentic so that too. Check out the mines v1 thread

The guy keeps telling me that the all bumpers on the lower section are the same size and it should fit. The moment he said that I wanted to return this product right away. I ended up with some scratches with this darn lip. Learned my lesson.

Return the lip,it is not made for your bumper.
It looks like a 03-05 fit(maybe).
A proper fitting lip should just pop into place...no gaps.
Another case of paying for what you get.
No amount of heat is gonna change anything.
How did you pay for the lip?
Credit card/PayPal...contact them to dispute.
Anything I order online its with AMEX.They will
handle if there is a problem with the goods.

The lip is a little short to fit in in the grille area. The upper portion of the lip where it stays on the grille looks like a upside-down trapazoid shape, which is off and wierd looking.

If he doesn't let you return it I would try to contact your credit card company or worst case just sell it on the forum and someone will want it I'm sure
