Haha that's funny they use pictures of the genuine items to sell their replicas. Talk about misrepresentation

The original lip is made by Vorsteiner. The one in your link is a copy/replica of the Vorsteiner lip. Spoolin Montego was pointing out the practice of these replica companies using photos of the genuine product they are actually ripping off.

I would recommend looking at RW-carbon if you don't wanna spend a fortune for a lip...

They do look the same but you need to consider the quality, I had no problems with the fitment and quality of my lip from RW, not sure about others tho.

You're the best! thanks again the pictures to compare helped a lot. I'm going to cancel the ECS order and get this one. Only thing that sucks on RW is there shipping.. a fixed $63.

Where is the link where you purchased it from? Is it installed with double sided tape alone or screws as well?

the link doesn't work, but google r w carbon varis style lip for m3 and it will come up. This lip comes out to $630 plus shipping.

It says to only put screws, but my guy actually put double sided tape just to make sure it has extra protection.
