Take the bumper off, flip it upside down, line up the lip, drill new holes, fasten with bolts/zipties/whatever.

Seriously. Whatever the cheapest one is.

they are all effectively made in the same mold.

they are all made from the same material.

whichever is cheapest.

Just put mine on last night! Got the v-limited lip and splitters from Mach V



Had to make a few adjustments on the lip itself (not sure if maybe the lip got a little warped somehow but it wasn't far off) and it turned out great! Sorry about the quality of the pics, it was midnight and taken with a POS iPhone haha

These lips are nothing new and if anything they are more cheaply made than when they first came around. One of the best companies on ebay to deal with for perfect fitment is bestracingmotorsports. Since 2012 more and more companies are makng these lips and ive notice they come warped and with the worst/cheapest hardware. They also seem to be made of a mix of plastic and poly urethane because they are more stiff and look more glossy.

Just wanted to know if I had done anything wrong but wondering if anyone could help. I installed a cheap eBay lip a week ago I'm guessing it wasn't attached to my bumper so good or maybe it was but I hit a bump on the freeway not a huge bump but apparently enough to rip off my lip n destroy the plastic behind my front bumper. Everything cracked under there. Just wondering if I had maybe put some zip ties and done more to attach it to my car would it not have happened or would it have been even worse? Anyone have this happen? I have an 05 STI stock suspension

Did you do more than just bolting it on?

Looks like he's also got his car sitting on top of it. So long as the lip is sandwiched between the car and the pavement it's not going anywhere.

It's been through two winters, smashed into the ground, dragged through dirt, and over 100mph. It's not going anywhere.
