Since I'm local to the Besten gents, I was the lucky guy to get their first lip (that's my Turbo in the pictures above). I met up with Andrew from Besten and he delivered the lip in person (even though the packaging could withstand a jackhammer). He explained the production process, chatted about cars a bit, and sent me on my way. He's a definite car-guy.
I think this was a test. An idiot test by Besten. Letting me go install the lip on my own was, what I thought, the kiss of death. I am not mechanically inclined-- but I gave it a shot. Got home, took 10 hours to unwrap the lip, and 10 minutes later it was installed. As proud as I wanted to be, I just couldn't pat myself on the back; the lip fit perfectly. Took 5 minutes to get the factory lip off and then I got started on the Besten piece.
I worked my way from one side to the other lining it up (there's a lip in the bumper that it slides into), then screwed in two screws. It was snug and required a little bit of finesse to get ready for the screws, but that was part of the design to make sure the fit was perfect and tight, and it is. Test passed.
I love the way it looks. It gives us Turbo guys a great reason to replace the torn up OEM lips that we've all inevitably come to love (bound to have happened to most of us since our cars are at least 7 years old now). I'm not big on cosmetic mods, but in my opinion this lip is a PERFECT enhancement to the OEM lip. It's a little larger, like the aero-lip, but not as aggressive as the rest of the CF lips out there. Most are really big or too ornate and don't compliment the car like the Besten part (which also makes it better for parking).
Overall, I'm 100% satisfied with the quality, look, and customer service and would recommend this part to anyone considering it. Thanks guys.

etc.) When Besten was in the infancy stage and shopping around for manufacturers, one of their rep's actually took a trip over "there" to make sure the quality of the product and more importantly the quality of the PROCESS met the companies standards... After that, Besten was launched; Imported to keep prices low, the manufacturing selectively picked to keep quality high... Sure you could buy a US made lip, (You could also have bought a US made car
) I am all about supporting US manufacturing, we at fabspeed have spent multiple millions of dollars on the proper machines to make every facet of our exhaust in house, BUT, we advertise it as such, and you pay for that... This is a lip that won't break the bank, will fit right, will hold up, and if it DOES get damaged, the customer service reps at Besten will work with you to make it right again! How can you beat that.
With these guys Everything is out on the table, there is no smoke and mirrors... MAYBE there's a better lip out ther (although I have yet to see one, and I've sold and installed more than a few different brands)... IF there is you're sure going to be paying a premium for it, I'd even wager that in person you couldnt tell the difference!
What's up mr.reid!
Pm'ing now, today was a hectic day to say the least.

new carbon lip
Dave please email or pm me with pricing. I have a 20004 996 annv, I believe its the turbo part, since the anny has a turbo nose but could be a c4s front not sure.
Thanks
