I posted this on NWP also....

I dont want to discredit my lip, but I have been having questions in my mind that it might not be real. I dont remember who I bought it from a couple years back, it was Harvard Blue, but had some damage. It is plastic, so there of course is no badge in the fiberglass. It DOES have the badge in the center, with never touched before rivets.

How, in a serious manner, can I reassure myself that my EG9 lip is real?

The real lip is made in ABS plastic with all the mounting brackets rivet on. These are some reference pictures of the real one.

took off the mugen rear spoiler to get refinished (foam spoilers like to crack) and the car has been lowered another inch all around.
Really like that car, following your build thread too!

False...EF9 lip was definately FG, as are both EP3 lips...its possible the lip is genuine in ABS as we know there are some out there in ABS but that doesnt mean ALL lips are ABS

The EF9 IE the 90-91 SIR lip is fiberglass read much? You are making assumtions based on a few things...not all mugen lips are FGRP we know this...but not all old lips are ABS either. Stop just posting things that you believe to be true, based on things you know.

The EF9 Mugen Lip from the Bumper is Carbon Fiber actually.
The rest of the bumper is FGRP
