Which Bumper is This?



Looking to get my car looking like this. Is this the AutoKits AIT TS bumper or TS-P lip?

Weird thing is that the lip is $450, while the whole bumper is $239. That doenst sound right to me...

I'm a bit put off by the lip since in the pictures it doesnt look flush and looks a bit like an add on to the original bumper.

Bumper is fiberglass material, lip is polyurethane, hence the price difference

Thats what I was afraid of. Fiberglass bumpers break easily.... Also, then I have to deal with fitment issues...



Any other options? All i really want is a lip similar to this...but I don't want to deal with a POS bumper with fitment issues..

It is a replica piece so you will get grief for rocking it. Look I have the poly lip from Autokits and just needed a few screws and double sided tape. I'm also very low and although I have scrapes on the bottom I don't have to worry about destroying the lip because of the material. If your looking for other options check out the JP vizage lip, also poly and Autokits there AK lip, and the Stillen lip also both poly.

I ordered and received the lip (QUICK SHIPPING!). Looks like very good material!
I've heard some people mention "molding" the lip. Does this mean blending the lip into the bumper so you dont see it as a separate piece?
Also, for the install it didnt come with any instruction or anything. Is it pretty straight forward install? Or is there a guide somewhere I should follow?
I plan on having a body shop paint the lip along with my ft bumper, then was going to install the lip myself.

ya molding is pretty difficult. you can either try to bond it together yourself...theres a few DIYs out there but you risk it splitting one day, or you can have a shop plastic weld it together which is an expensive option. your better off just installing it
