Thanks, and all the info is in the first post. I picked it up on eBay from the seller "westerncustomz" he has both the 03 and 06 versions available. A little pricey but shipping was real fast and as far as I know that's the only place to get this lip anymore

Ughhhh that looks so nice, I just can't justify it to myself to buy a $400 lip while I'm still in school

Thanks everybody!

@optimus I felt the same way but its so worth it. No need to rush it wait around until your on break from school and have some spare cash laying around.

@blackheart The video was for a shitty lip on a Honda wouldn't help you install this lip at all lol the only thing I got from it was the idea to leave peeling the tape for last as I first assumed the fitment would be too tight to do that and I was going to have to peel it all off before even placing it on which would have been extremely difficult.

I have an authentic veilside and it's just a tight fit. Keep playing w it or have a shop do it. Since I wanted to avoid fading I got mine clear coated and had the shop install.

_350ZR_ , i got an FRP one that had similar issue, both sides.
Used heavy duty 3M double sided tape (forget trying any other brand - i tried them all)
Heat from a hair blowdryer
- the amount of time to get good even heat throughout, I found a heat gun was too hot for the surface and heat wouldn't get through good.

and something to apply steady safe pressure against it for a few hours after heating. Was method I used to get mine to fit more snug on both sides.

Easiest thing for me was 2 cement bricks lined up against a wall and used the cardboard and bubble wrap, the lip was shipped in, along with some towels to cushion and protect contact spots between the lip and bricks.
Heated and applied pressure by hand for a little while then once it cooled and I felt the tape had good grip, we pushed the car up against the bricks and left it for the day while at work.

Was all done after lip was painted and didn't leave a mark or any scratches. I have taken it off since for repairs and repainting and it fit better when reinstalled.
