No idea on who makes them. However the lip is probably there to stop the back edge sagging like some of the dodgey fibreglass ones do.

Yes that could be it, as it is only plastic with no real guts to it
The flares are plastic too and they flex a lot

The original A9X ones had folded down lip underneath, that gave the scoop stability, plus they were way thicker than standard aftermarket scoops that always sagged!

I have a plastic scoop from rare-spares. It has the lip folded down as per A9X and hasn't sagged. But it was difficult to paint without attracting dust particles, even in a booth. Probably a static electricity thing.
