the first pic is actually after the second, its just the light and shadows.... I love the hella's, perfect for aholes on the road, and for the emo kids that walk on the side of the road all the time.

his name is Gawa. The front lip from what i've seen here and on my car it fits pretty well. I was worried about the J's rep lip scratching the bumper but then i realized that the OEM lip covers any scratches since it sits up a lot higher. Be sure to get a good shop to paint it the right way the first time

That's me
The pics you see are actually an authentic grill, unless it's the ones where I had the unpainted rep grill on for test fit purposes. The lip is a rep though.

mmm, I'm not too sure actually. The rep ones I think are made of fiberglass like you said, but the real one.. I think it's a plastic. I don't really remember, it's all kind of a blur, haven't actually seen the grill since I took it off last year. Sorry. ^^;;

lol. mmm, the replica grill is quite similar to the authentic, the edges are a little rough and need a bit of sanding down? I don't think it fits bad, but it's kinda subjective. What one person thinks is acceptable fitment may not be the same for someone else.

Here's the rep on my car, the bottom isn't held down by double sided tape or anything, and the top isn't screwed onto the bumper, so it's just held there by the hood.

kinda sucks cause the fiberglass breaks so easy and to spend 200+ on that and break it would be more of a waste of money than anything

Yea...scraped my lip a whole bunch of times, thankfully it hasn't broken yet *knocks on wood*

I do know of someone that tracked their Fit w/ an authentic J's lip and went off the course and the CF side fell off or something like that.

The rep in that pic isn't sanded down or anything, just placed it on for some pictures and that's about it.

I'm not sure if it'd fit better but I would sand the edge to get rid of the... excess fiberglass? I'm not too sure what to call it.
