eBay Lip Spoiler Installed
I am very pleased with the outcome of this installation.
Fitment is great! The product is really pretty nice. The spoiler is not 100%covered in CF tho. 3/4's of the underneath is black and no CF was laid there, but everywhere it is visual there is CF. the gel coat is perfect and the weave is very nice too.
Onto the pics:

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.
The lip comes with indentations that direct you where to drill for the use of screws.
I bought a self tapping screw kit with multiple sizes in case I needed a longer one for a certain area. I also bought extra big washers to cover as much of the lip as possible to spread the load point of the tightened screw across a larger area, will help with tightening without cracking.
I then drilled the holes. I used one of those tools that has a drill bit but also has a hole cutter on it as you want to make the bottom side of the lip hole bigger to accommodate the diameter of a socket.
I used double sides tape for two reasons, one to help hold it in place while I lined everything up, and two to just help with an extra snug fit.
I got it all lined up and drilled two additional holes, one at either side where it mounts by the tires. I lined the bumper up based on those two points first and bolted them up with a bolt and nut and have "Locktited" those two, but not until I had fitment right where I wanted it with all the other screws installed. I mock fitted it, then tightened it all down and fitment was spot on as you can see.
Was a super easy install and maybe took an hour of actual work, but only because I really took my time.
I then used some matte black vinyl to cover the holes on the underneath I the spoiler so water didn't get up inside the splitter.

No issues from China at all. It literally was at my house in less than 2 weeks!
My postal service has yet to charge me any additional monies for duties either.
