110mph is really not that fast, I hit that speedd all the time, I don't think these lips are that weak. there are many bolts that hold on to the lip, do you have your undertay when your lip disintergrated?

This is a replica of the FQ400 lip. I believe they used a genuine Do Luck lip on the FQ which retails for around 600.

I think cf lip look best on black car, and gold rim especially ce28n looks the best on black car too.

Replica? that I know
I just want to make sure it's the same style, b/c you know some lip's corners stick out more than the other.

Sap, these are the pics of FQ400 lip, does your look identical to this? b/c I can't really tell from your picture.

No undertray. The holes on the ebay lip were too small for to get the plastic pop-its through.

As you can see from the pictures it's not really a matter of how many bolts hold on the lip, because they were all still attached with the small piece of lip that was left. But the entire "body" of the lip basically just blew up.

Yes its pretty much the same exact thing as that, maybe a little variation in the flares but nothing major.
