thanks for the input and the new find... I ordered one to get painted and see how it holds up. If I like it I will go ahead and order another one. I can see the price going up if the seller moves all these quickly. Ebay shows 10 sold already

Got mine today. Need to work on fitment tomorrow as it is a little short on one end. Overall, much nicer than stock and since I'm basalt black, the shinny is fine

So how can it be a little short on one end and stil fit? That makes no sense at all.

I ordered one as well yesterday. Can you take a photo and show us what you mean by being a little short?


thx

Thank you.

I found this as well though got it to fit with a little tugging on the final side to attach (I started on one side and worked my way around). I failed to mention this earlier as after a little work, fit is great.

while we're at it, Brent, to remove the front lip, after removing the 2 screws, in what direction do you pull the lip to pop it out of the tabs ?

I'm having a hell of a time pulling out the two end tabs closest to the screws. they just won't budge!

some of the tabs along the sides and center pop out really easily. I've given up twice now.

I pulled forward and downwards (fingers behind the lip) towards the ground and they popped out. I also grabbed the side that I'd taken off first and tugged at it. You don't have to worry about clips breaking on the old piece (they're not delicate anyhow so I doubt they would).

Also, thanks on the GT3 insert. Never imagined I'd take a jigsaw to a bumper of a $140k car but it happened.

In 6+ years of ownership I've probably replaced the OEM lip 7 times. Follow Brent's instructions...and it may take a good pull. I've never broken a tab on removal. Also on install I always started with the middle tab and worked towards the two ends...and it's easier to do with the weather warm.

I'll try pulling downward on the lip to release it. I haven't tried that yet.

The lip tab is so tight to the bumper right now, the bumper plastic flexes quite a bit. It feels like I may break the tab on the bumper if I pull much harder and I don't want to do that.
