Well,yes the do look similar.Possibly even made in the same factory in Taiwan!
I've never installed a VS lip.I have installed several Mine's.All the Mine's fit like a glove.
Basically snap in place.Uses the bolts on the car&3-M tape.30 min install.The finish in the lips I've installed was flawless.The Mine's as far as I know is only avail from one source.Veilside from many.In addition,the VS CF
lip from the prices I've noted is cheaper.Back to the looks...the only difference I see is
the portions on each side,there is a curve inward going toward the the center of the car.
the edge coming off the curve is more rounded on the Mine's.To someone that have never seen both lips close up,they would'nt notice the diff.
The VS is also avail in FRP(cheaper).The Mine's only in CF.

Veilside (top) has a badge and does not recess in the center portion like the Mine's/EVO-R (bottom).

Another minor detail: the VeilSide lip has a rectangular indent in the center where the VeilSide badge resides (for teh bling$), while the Evo-R Mine's-type lip has no badging.

I personally prefer the Mine's lip with the recessed center portion. It adds a little bit of visual interest that the VS lip lacks.

But in the end, if you are standing 10 feet away they pretty much look the same. I would go with veilside simply because they offer a polyurethane version of the lip.

I know they made a urethane V1 lip for 03-05 bumpers, but for some reason I thought they eliminated that option for 06-08.
