no hole cut outs on the corners...2 pre-drilled holes for the screws. Not sure if that helps but i could take pix later

fitment? I don't know I can usually tell if the lip is fake or not just by comparing pictures of the real mugen lip and the fake mugen lip.
But I don't know who in the hell would remove a mugen badge from their mugen lip. Isn't that the whole purpose of buying the real deal? To show it off?

the real lip is flush on the sides while the replicas flare out.

they are real when the mounting brackets are RIVETED to the lip WHICH IS MADE OF ABS PLASTIC, not fiberglass.....the holes on the right and left sides arent actually holes..they are filled in..and there is are black stickers that come with the lip in order to fill it...making it look like it has holes..or ducts on either side...plus the fitment is tight..but perfect...the holes are all predrilled for you..making it like mounting a stock si lip, the hardware is all oem too.....oh yeah this is for ek...

if you have any other questions other than that...prolly means you got a fake one... jk

correct, real one has a bunch of mounting brackets on the bottom, and fitment is like OEM. the holes on the side are also blocked in with a black sticker that goes in it. it also has two holes for the mugen badge to be rivetted in.. the material is very hard, and you can tell the difference between a real and a fake mugen lip...

here are some pictures...don't mind the rock chips, it's a daily driver..
blocked holes with stickers..

rivetted mugen badge..
