Plastidipped the middle part black and it's not as disturbing as it was before, although there are some parts that still are visible and the overall look isn't anything I was hoping it to be (if it were the correct lip). Pictures attached. As for others wondering if they should order this lip from JL - I definitely can't and won't recommend it. Go with RW Carbon instead (they already e-mailed me pictures how their lip looks and it's much longer on the bottom so it will be over the bumper just like the OEM black trim).
Doesn't look that bad......or before you dipped the white teeth.......was it expensive? My front lip was over 3K and fit perfectly........as did the rear diffuser......perfect fit FWIW.

It was 499$ + around 150$ for shipping. RW Carbon is 549$ + and quoted around 400$ for shipping, that's why I went with JL. Since their price was very similar to other vendors I assumed the quality will be also fine, but boy was I wrong. I know it will keep bothering me until I can sort it out by changing it.
A little late on my post but when I helped my friend install his one last year, we left the middle lip on the car, because it looked just like yours does without it. However, ignoring the instructions we installed it over the middle lip just fine. Maybe the wrong front lip was sent by accident?
Regardless, the only thing id would be worried about with your install though is the fact you now need to be stupidly careful you don't crack or dmg your new front lip given your shop permanently glued it on. I have to say that is the dumbest thing that has been done in this whole saga of yours. Simply because you will either end up having to re-spray OR replace your bumper simply because of some noob shop. My friends is held on with 4 bits of double-sided tape and 6(iirc) screws along the bottom. He hasnt had an issue and tracks his car reaching speeds of 140mph with no problems.

I have their diffusers, they're pretty good. Their side skirt for my C63 on one side is absolute sh*t. Doesn't fit perfect. I stopped using them. BOCA is amazing fyi.
