Is this front lip OEM/factory?

I'm thinking of getting this front lip and I'm wondering if it was a factory option or not

No - that looks aftermarket. All the OEM ones have a rounded profile (convex), not channeled like that one.

Also honestly, not sure if it is a resolution thing or not - but that doesn't even look like a real pic. You can pick up the visual artifacts around the front and rear lip kit, but not anywhere else - looks like a Photo-chop to me.

Actually, in Canada it was available at the dealer as an option.
