Default new front lip, but its all bent up! WTF

so i got my new front lip in the mail from ebay. Problem is, they sent it in a box that wasnt long enough and the lip is all bent up. Im really pissed off right now about this. Anyone else have something else like this happen? If so, did it end up being a problem? Is it fine that its all bent up? Will it still fit on smoothly? What did you guys use to fasten your lip to the bumper? Mine didnt come with any screws or anything.

What is it made out of? I think polyurethane will bend back, but plastic... not so much.

yea ill leave negative feedback after its returned and all, i dont want to **** him off before i get it returned. They started this thing on ebay where sellers cant leave buyers negative and neutral feedback, so you can leave negative without worrying about getting negative feedback. No one buy lips from nana.outpost on ebay unless you like your lips extra bent!

So ill be looking for a different lip once this is all finished, and I plan on using eBay because its cheap. Anyone know of any good front lip sellers on ebay? preferrably ones that put the lips in proper sized boxes and don't bend them. Im looking for a type r lip for a Del Sol, I can find them, I just need some recommendations of good lip sellers.

i talked to the seller and he's sending a new lip. he also said that the bending shouldn't be a problem and if i allow it to heat up in the sun it should start to regain it's original shape. apperantly it would cost another 30 dollars to send it non-bent. he had it bent so that the curve of the bumper was curved more in the middle section so that it would fit in a more square box.

so i take that back about nana.outpost it seems he's actually a pretty good seller. takes care of his customers
