You would have to bend it to shape it to the bumper then cut off the other side pieces (it didnt have a pre-cut dent)
If you must save on $ with these replica lips use betalink or some sort of perm adhesive agent or this will happen.

I wish I found this thread sooner.
We installed it wrong it wrong too
Four screws on the side for side support
Two screws in the middle for support
And regular 3m tape on the support area and sides.

:/

Gotta invest in the genuine lip now :/
Would you mind sharing where you got the replica from?? I am looking to go the rep route so want to see who to avoid. Thanks
After doing some extensive research, you cant avoid any crappy ones because they are all crappy coming from one factory just different sellers. Cnautofan ******** aliexpress sells the same shit. ******** is from Cali, its a bit more $ but comes quicker. All comes from the same factory so youre getting the same product.

Replica splitter comes with shitty non drilled holes brackets that doesnt even fit properly on the bumper and also doesnt come with the mounting z brackets so you would have to fabricate one.

After said than done youll be spending around $600.

$1200 for oem kit

Lesson learned, going to go with the $1200 kit.
