Which Aftermarket Front Spoiler Lip?

Looking for sellers for the lip. I went with one on Ebay and the fit was very poor, almost to the point of not being able to make it work at all. It tucked under in the center front and I think it was made a bit too short. I set it in the sun on a 100 degree day then tried to stretch the hell out of it.

I do this s*** for a living, so it's not lack of tools or mechanical/artistic ability. Anyway I don't suppose there are several different manufacturers of these, but I know there are many different sellers and I'd like a recommendation of a lip that you found satisfactory. I don't expect it to be OE quality for around the $100 price, but I tear these up often, so cheaper is better than OE.

Also, I know it can be ill-advised to post a link so maybe the name of the seller and the venue where he sells, Ebay, Amazon, etc. Or you can just PM me.

TIA

Bayson really looks OEM. Does it come with the metal support behind the vents?

No metal vent supports. I have not had an issue without them.

You could reuse the old ones.

I got 2 from Bayson and on a third one from another ... all from ebay ... they all seem to be identical ... it seems they're all from the same mold.

These guys are local and have a solid product. I went with the aero lip and am really pleased - especially for the price. Worked great at track as well. Seems to have a bit more clearance than OEM turbo.

Does the aero lip replicate Porsche's lip for the turbo aerokit? Looks like it but was wondering if anyone replaced there stock one with this?
