Haven't installed or even knew the lip existed. Watched video and installation looks pretty strait forward.

I feel the ES 350 front bumper is already pretty low to the ground. The added lip will likely hit the curb or concrete stops/bumpers in the parking lot, don't you think? Also, what about paint options? The flat, black in the video makes it look like an add-on, rather than going along with the style/lines of the car.

Hey man the es being low is exactly why I bought it. When I got the the car a month later i hit the bottom of my bumper pretty hard cause my light to bulge out. Got that fixed from the dealer tho. Here is a pic of it installed on a 2013-15 es and then here is the color of my es

The front lip would look great. I'm not sure I'd want to put a bunch of screw holes in the bumper and I'd worry about the tape not sticking so that'd be a show stopper. My other car has an extremely low front bumper lip so I'm really enjoying all the clearance the ES offers and crack up when I read comments about it being low. I think it has a SUV stance and plenty of clearance.

I will not be attaching the screws and the lips comes with adhesion promoter. Also I've read that people have had these lips on there cars for years with just the date and no problem what so ever.

Then I'd say go for it! The flat black rubber look will go well with the color of your car. A lot of high in cars come that way as spoilers are considered a disposable, wear item. Take a look at any 911 Porsche and you'll see black rubber spoilers with a few exceptions being painted. Post pics when done.

do you think it will be straight forward for my bumper? will i need to cut any v's like they say to for a tight curve? TBH i don't think I will need to.

I don't think you will either after watching the video but doing it in the corners might make for a smoother fit around the curve.

Agreed.

Did you use the provided screws to secure it? How long did the job take?

I didn't use the screws didn't wanna makes holes. I cleaned it with the provided alcohol pad. Then I applied the adhesive promoter. And applied while heating it along the way and it's is sticking perfectly.
