She is almost complete.. Here is a little teaser video... Keep in mind I am not a professional and it was all filmed, and edited on my iPhone... Just a hobby... Enjoy and please subscribe to my Channel
I SURE AS HELL DID...
Exactly... Saved 600 in the process too.. Looks great... Them wheels ain't fake though...
For a daily driver... Fake lip will suffice if she was show car then I would go all in.. My last car took 16 trophies up and down the east from MD to FL... And I was repainting my Stillen lip a few times... Didn't want to do that again so this works out perfectly... No way I am paying 700 a pop for a "lip"...
If you say this is just a daily then why did you spend all that money on real wheels? I mean you are already spent around on 3-5k wheels but you can't spend another 700 on an authentic lip? you own a car that is worth 50-60k brand new but you want to put eBay parts on it

Ok teins4me... It's not about not being able to spend it....it's about not wanting to.. There is a difference... I had a fully functional aluminum splitter on my Maxima which actually increased downforce and was still half the price of a this real lip you speak of...
To each their own... I noticed that is a pet peeve of yours is this replica lip... That's fine makes no difference to me... I can share your enthusiasm about a specific mod though..... My pet peeve is unpainted brakes. And the single piston caliper nonsense in the rear... I rather spend the extra 700 toward a big brake kit for the rear... Which is useful I might add... Than on a CF lip... Personal opinion though... Just like yours and this lip is... It's a Lexus.... it should have a larger caliper and rotor in the rear... It bothers me when I see anyone add wheels and don't at least paint or upgrade their brakes, One you wouldn't want your wife putting crusty toes in a pair of new shoes, get her a pedicure lol... More importantly because one you have changed the rolling inertia of the car and stock brakes usually don't make up for that difference, so in essence your have changed the entire stopping distance of your car... Which might not be a big deal until a deer or a child runs out in front of you....
So no my prority was not a full CF lip... Which is really for weight saving when you racing the car... Which I am sure you definitely do or plan to do in your Lexus since you advocate the real weight saving characteristic of the CF lip with such passion...the 100$ SKP replica works fine for me...to add in the last 2 months it already has scrapes on the bottom... But is holding up surprisingly well, gets plenty of compliments, and looks just as good as the original for 104.99.. Shipped!
