For what it's worth, the lip on my car is the Boostx lip. It's a reproduction version of the old Sigmaspeed lip that was available in Japan back in the day, so it's a legit piece for the Galant and purpose made for it. The problem is that the original lip that the mold was constructed from was shipped to Boostx in two pieces for cheaper shipping (I think). This makes it a bit more difficult to mount and get just right as there is some trimming/fitting involved, but if you take the time to do it right, it turns out good.

Also the way that its built it will fit the USDM and JDM cover where the original was only fitted for the JDM. Plus having some adjustment to it takes up for sagging in a 20 year old bumper cover.

I think the original Sigmaspeed lip would have fit both JDM or USDM anyway, since the lower part is the same length. And I don't buy the whole sagging thing. I think the majority of these bumpers have held their shape pretty damn well over the years, unless somebody cut waaaaaay too much out of them.

It's more common for them to have had a small ding and the metal frame behind the bumper is bent and making the plastic crooked.
