Well if you want the replica splitters I'm probably gonna sell them if I manage to take the off without damaging them

^^ I think that area is suppose to tuck under the stock bumper a little. It could be the angle of your pics but something is def off.

I guess if you take a pic of how it lines up with the front wheel well there would be no confusion. The lip is suppose to line up perfectly there.

all oem setup installed correctly

Yours (the middle mounting point on yours is right at the edge of the mouth when it should be recessed just slightly.

So after closer inspection, it seems like the BULBXPERT splitters will NOT work with the OEM M performance lip. I compared the pictures from the OP vs OEM splitters and the OEM splitters extend further out.

Yep that's what I figured. Bummer that I can't return the eBay ones as I already installed them... gonna be a pain in the ass to remove them and fit the RW carbon ones but oh well. Thanks for the detailed pictures!

Oh god, I have the same exact splitters from bulbxpert and was about to put on the OEM lip. I'm trying to think of the best way to remove them but I put a lot of double sided tape, any luck removing yours yet?

I honestly don't really know if I can remove them without breaking them. I put a lot of double sided tape too and I'm not sure what the best way to take them off is. I tried fishing line but the line was cutting into the splitter, so I'm going to try again and hopefully not break anything

I actually brought it to a body shop and they couldn't figure it out either. I think I'll try just blasting it with a heat gun to yank it off and if that doesn't work the only thing I can think of is getting a dremel tool to cut through the splitter so at least i have room to peel it off the front bumper. damn it

I would try using fishing line or something and sliding it back and forth to get the tape off, but yeah it's gonna be hard. Even harder wtih teh OEM ones, they glue them on...

Ahh I was able to get it off with a heat gun and the plastic interior pry tools that has a hook shape
