How to Identify This Front Lip?

This lip came on my car when I bought it, I know it looks like a Hamann lip but I also know there's a lot of similar ones (knockoffs). Is there a way to tell? Looks like real carbon fiber, matches the roof perfectly.

Thanks

How can you tell? Aren't there a lot of knockoffs out there?

Ahh I see...my dilemma is, I want to sell it but I have no clue what it's worth since I don't know what brand it is. I may just keep it then...

Does Hamann or any of the other brands etch their brand on it anywhere?

Yes, if it's indeed a real Hamann piece they're should be a badge on it. It would also be pretty rare as they are very expensive and many people ruin front lips due to being right in front of the car down low so my guess would be it's probaly a rep.

Makes perfect sense. Appreciate the input. I'll just hang on to it and be EXTRA careful with it. I like how it looks, it's just so low...I prefer the ZCP lip.
