This is the replica ACS lip I bought from ebay. User ID: 4caroption

I'm not 100% happy, but saving $700+ makes me feel better.

What's not perfect:

1) Gaps around the fog lights
2) Cutouts not even

Even with those imperfections, it's a huge improvement

Oh, I got my chrome grill installed too. Looks mean now

Sorry for the poor pictures. Some members wanted to see what it looks and I got home late. Once I get my wheels on I will make sure I take some better pictures.

300$ compared to 1k is a big difference....

Is the gap blocking your fog light bad?

Not bad. Maybe by 1mm. I think I'm going to dremel it out a little bit.

Cool

Thanks for the heads up!

If anyone gets close enough to kneel down and look, kick 'em in the arse!
