OEM lip fitment

I got this OEM M performance front lip from turner motorsports. I did a crude test fit, and against my front splitters the fitment is a joke. The carbon splitters are Chinese and suspect I need to buy OEM splitters.

My question is do the OEM splitters really protrude so far as to cover that gap?

Yes, OEM Splitters fit the OEM lip perfectly. Youll need to start sourcing a set of OEM splitters if you want to run the lip.

Here is a pic of my car the day I was picking it up from dealership. I have OEM carbon fiber front splitters and OEM matte black front lip. You can see the fitment is perfect....no gaps like you have.

Same thing with my bayson R splitters. I ended up going with a true M performance rep splitter, they're stuck in customs, so we'll see how they fit when they get here.

I have seen another member use these with good luck. Will make my final verdict when they arrive.

Installed them today, fitment is good and NO GAP! probably similar to oem as I had to put a small line of tape up by the grill insert.

Sorry not trying to jack your thread. Question: is there no way to run the M Perf lip without the upper splittters?

Nope. There's a pretty noticeable gap if you do.
