Anyone have any experience with this rear lip?
Just wondering if anyone has purchased a rear lip from here and how the fitment/quality is.

Just an FYI, durability does happen to be somewhat of a issue. I had one installed, and honestly the fitment was damn near perfect. However, I had a Cattman 2.5" Rear section, that after a spirited run for about 35mins, had melted my ABS rear lip in half and was dragging down the highway because the exhaust was so heated up. The fitment was so good that it hugged the exhaust tips nicely and my hangers did not allow for much adjustment. Just wanted to give you a headsup since I hear all the time, that it does not matter being ABS and is only a Rear Section. Maybe with a stock exhaust yes, but it will at least be scarred around the tips with an aftermarket setup.
Even Vastmax's Urethane has scarred a little and it's a genuine Stillen one. Not sure how many have experienced this, but it does and can occur.

you must of missed the second part of the post, there has been issues even with the stillen ones burning with aftermarket exhaust... i had the original stillen one and it was fine with my evo2 exhaust, however the person who owned it before me had it melted by the exhaust so i had to get it fixed before i installed it... they are all hit or miss, stillen or the one you posted

I've got a genuine Stillen kit and have had no issues with my OEM muffler with fitment or any burning or melting... Like grand hustle said though the rear shouldn't get much abuse unless parking poses a problem. But for a couple bucks more I would say go with a reputable company with good customer service...My .02
