You do need to do some drilling under and on the side, as well as some 3M

so I got the lip but its warped. The seller wants me to try and lay it out in the sun to retake form...but its gotten cold around here. Good news is, if I cant get it to go back to form, they will replace it.

So i ask you guys if you had the same issue at all, or what i should try to heat it up with?

Looks real nice.....I'm either going to upgrade to a new 2014 G37 or do a front end conversion.

Try a hair dryer set to high and concentrate on the section needing correction, these are pretty flexible and should be fairly easy to heat up and fit.
Since they've already committed to the return it won't hurt to try.

Here's a dry mock up of my ebay lip, the tape you see on the front is to protect my bumper because the urethane is really tight right there, enough to leave a crease if not prevented. Will have to get it painted in a few weeks, so for now...

Looks like you were able to get a nice fit after all, should look real nice when you get it painted

I was getting my 2010+ front end swap done and decided to go with the sport lip from eBay. 150 shipped. Fitment is good, there are a few spots where you can see that it's not factory but you really have to look and know what youre looking for. Best part is that it didn't cost me any more $ to get it painted since I was getting a few other parts painted as well. Generally very happy with it. Ebay can be really helpful sometimes. Great find OP, car looks great with it!
