I am tired of knock off lips and saving up for Seibon lip right now.
Yea I notice the Blendmount looks more sturdy.
I really want the Seibon or Skipper carbon fiber lip but didn't want to keep scrapping it when I go up my drive. So I'm thinking a decent ebay one just so I won't feel as bad when I scrap

Yes, I highly recommend Blendmount. I think it's worth every penny. Regarding to the front lips, Seibon has 3 different lip styles so I don't know which one that you like. I was looking at Seibon FP style. However, I personally prefer Skipper over Seibon because Seibon FP style looks bulky to me. It will look great if you have wide fender IMO.

Yea I'm probably going to get it sometime this week and also the mirror tap.

I was looking at the same lip. I do agree about Skipper over Seibon. I really want Skipper but both are $$$$$.

What's was wrong with the lip you got from someone or eBay? Fitment? Quality?

They were Skipper style and TRD style front lip. They all came unpainted and I had to paint them myself. Fitment was not really great, I think I got what I paid for and I ended up remove them all. I probably go for Skipper style carbon fiber if I ever get the front lip again, it's couple hundred extra than the plastic one and I of course I expect that would be direct fit. Here is the link on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2013-2015-Lexus-IS250-IS350-IS300h-F-Sport-JDM-Style-Front-Bumper-Lip-Carbon-CF-/281808583986?fits=Model%3AIS350&vxp=mtr&hash=item419d19bd32

The main issue with spending on Skipper is that I have scrapped many times now on stock height. I can barely go up my driveway unless I go in at a angle. I really don't want to keep scraping the carbon fiber if I spent that much money on it. Unlucky/Lucky Someone hit me a month ago so now I have a brand new bumper so no more scraps. Honestly I'm thinking about just buying the All fit lip or just spend $100 on the Gloss black ebay one. At least when I scrap I won't feel as bad. Was the fitment for the ebay one really that bad?

Are you available anytime this week to meet up in china town? Finally got some free time from summer school and work I really want to hear your exhaust in person. Really want to decide between your set up and the ark exhaust soon.

That's cool. I usually hang out with friends at Bellaire almost every weekend. I took off the all fit lip because I wanted something better. We should have a small meet sometimes LOL

Here is my latest mod: Sport foot brake pedal. I used OEM Toyota Lexus Manual Transmission Brake Clutch Aluminum Pedal Pad 31321-53010. Sorry yall, I got the last piece . You probably can get it from other sellers.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/262443968670?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT.




Before






Remove the rubber and drill a hole all the way thru



Sand down head of the screw as thin as I could



Super glue them back together



It's ready to go.
