Doesn't look too bad for an eBay front lip. Do you plan on completing the kit?

It does look a bit high. At least you will scrap less if you slam it.

you know.. if you take the lip off.. you will see indentations of where the lipkit screws would go from the side of the bumper.. pre-drill those holes first then remount it lol..

i got the sunroof visor as well, shit's functional, i think gives it a better look wen slammed, and reduces noise when it;s opened.
get some tint and take off ur front plate.
