What lip do I have? And where can I find another one?

Ok, so I was under the impression that I have a Maxtuning lip. But after seeing what a real one looks like, I don't think mine is real. However, I prefer the way mine looks over the real thing. I like how it matches my bumper, and I haven't seen another one like this one. Since mine is pretty beat up, I would love to get another one if someone still makes them.

On the inside of the lip it has Purestyling.com printed, but the site no longer exists. Plus I can't seem to find this style lip anywhere.

So, can anyone provide me with any answers on what lip I have, and if I can find another one?

correctamundo. That weird space in the middle is kind of out of place. Thinking about getting a Stillen myself. Glad I know the difference now

That's definitely a Maxxtuning lip. You can modify a '00-'01 Stillen classic lip to replicate that lip but I don't think it'll fit as well.

Doesn't look like a STILLEN'S for that year, and STILLEN'S would say it on the inside of it, what happened with this one is it fiberglass and cracked...

+1. Wish there were more lip options. Non Stillen-styled lips are extinct.

My maxxtuning front lip says purestyling.com on the inside as well. I believe that they bought the mold for the lip when maxxtuning stopped making them. They only sold them for a little while though. I recall seeing 5 of them listed on ebay under the purestyling name 3 or 4 years ago, at like $500 each.

You guys sure this is a maxtuning? See how mine follows the pattern of the the lower grill? The maxtuning lips I've seen don't do that, they look like this...



....it doesn't quite match the bumper, which is why I like mine so much

all you guys need paint !,

and why do you need a new one if yours is beat up? pay a shop to repair whats beat up and paint the dang thing. you'll be good to go and probably save money.

For some odd reason I prefer a Stillen lip especially since its not fiberglass. But like other people have stated, you are going to have a really hard time finding another one. Try to have yours fixed by a body shop.

Maxx Tuning

I think a black mesh weave on the inside of the lip inlet will help the aesthetics.

Thanks for all the input guys. I am currently in the middle of repairing this lip myself. It may take a few more weeks to get it perfect but I just love this lip so much, it's worth it
