Default What's the best looking oem type R lip to buy?

I'm looking for a replica oem looking type R lip. I've bought 3 different lips and they fit like crap! Two of them were Bayson R lips that I've heard so much about, not impressed. I'm really close to just buying a real type r lip but not wanting to drop the 350 bucks for one right now. Does anyone know of a good looking, nice fitting, poly lip?

Can you not just use a heat gun and double sided tape to make the lip look correct? Always worked for me

I rocked an ebay poly lip for a while fit just fine until I hit a curb . you're using screws to hold it right ?

Are you removing the bumper to fit the lip?

It's about an inch too short on one side. I know that I've spent almost 300 bucks on lips. If I would have known it was going to be like this, I would have bought the oem lip from the get go. I really don't want to drop another 300+ right now. I will spend another 100-150 if there was a certain company that was a little closer on their fit.

Agreed. Just suck it up and buy a new/used oem lip and you won't have to worry about it anymore. If you can't afford it save up. If you're willing to spend 150 then you're just about there. Remember you get what you pay for!

Here the thing with lips....If you are lowered/hellafush the lip is the first thing to go trust me I've gone threw 3 one was a used ITR one even . all in just over 250$ in lips could have gotten an NRG wheel for that piece would have been way more long lived lol.
