Default Carbon Fiber Lips whats the best brand & fit? for 92-95 EG's

This question has probably been asked before but i need to know. Do most CF Lips out of the box have a perfect fitment? Is it common knowledge that you'll need a body shop to have them put on? What brand would you suggest gives the best fitment out of the box without any MAJOR modifications. I bought this Carbon Creations lip and it clearly doesnt fit flush with the bumper. The dealer is telling me to take it to a body shop to be put on. I just didn't realize i needed to do this or like i said - is it common knowledge. All your feedback is appreciated. Thanks

I guess it was my fault not wanting to spend the money. is a body shop really necessary? but i guess if you look at this lip - i might just have too

thats the thing - its not on the car. i just test fitted it to make sure it lined up but unfortunately it didn't. I figured i could fit it on in order to know where to drill the holes but it was on the sides.

My old Spoon cf lip had the best fit. It was like factory, just had to be bolted on. The VIS cf Spoon copy fits pretty well overall, just needed to get the middle bolt on, and then work my way outward.
