The rubber lining only comes with the OEM lip, its not purchased separately. Your lip probably doesn't fit as well since it is a replica.

what i've done was slapping two screws on each side and use that paint on the lip to go over the screw. Then it will look a whole lot better..

I think that summed it all up right there.

replicas usually don't fit as flush as the authentic versions

you'd be surprised, it all depends on the mold and sometimes the replicas fit better than the originals. You can get some vacumn lines, cut the line in half and you've got your black rubber trim.
