Default BEST FITTING Ebay Nismo Lip

Hey guys I have been trying to research and figure out which eBay nismo style lip is the best fitting. Can't seem to find an answer. I know that it's basically the luck of the draw on most eBay lip fits, but I was wondering if any of you have gotten eBay lips that have had a good fit. Looking for vendor name or brand name or whatever. Thanks for the help! Also forgot to add that I have an 04 Touring.

I know it won't be the best decision I've ever made, but I'm risking it. If anyone knows of someone selling a used one let me know also!

Just don't get it. These things I think are literally made out of trash can lids haha they're junk. Front bumper looks better without it. Just save up and get a veilside v1 lip.

And there's already a thread on ebay lips

I've seen that one already. Doesn't talk much about fitment. Plus like many of them in that post said, why would I drop $400 on a real nice lip to have it busted in the future? Just looking to find the best fitting eBay one.

They're all the same. You're spending $50-$90 on a lip.. you're not gonna get something that fits perfect. They're poly so you can make em fit. Just spend the money and find out.. It's a gamble, but a very cheap one

Just get it and pray for the best.

I bought one and the fitment was horrible. I had the shave off the middle part that goes into the bumper for it to even mount. Then on top of that the driver side corner stuck out about an inch so I had to use washers and extra long screws to get it on.

I took it off 2 days later and sold it.

Exactly what I don't want to happen. That's why I'm trying to find out the people that have ordered off ebay and got good fitting ones so I can follow in their footsteps and buy from the same person. Best chances of getting a good fit.
