I'll update as I install, but it arrived today. I didn't go with the original Lexon because in all honesty it will no doubt get scraped and losing $70 is a lot more bearable vs the cost of an original to me.
I ordered direct from Bayson. I actually just emailed them and they sent me a PayPal checkout invoice. Kevin is who I dealt with:

Unboxing pics:
Update 1: 3M Dual Loc wont work as it is too thick so I did a quick test fit using some of my kids' art clips. Makes me wonder if using a bunch of u-clips similar to these would work? PS...car is dirty I know.
Quick test fit pics:
Paint supplies if I decide to go gloss over the current matte:
UPDATE : Slapped on some paint. 3 coats black and 3 coats clear. Will probably end up just using the screws to install it. I can't think of anything else that would work and look correct
Paint booth (no dead grass comments)
Dry time between coat booth
Final cure booth
UPDATE : Paint job was not satisfactory to me so I opted to wrap it. Final installment pics here
Nice! I might end up going with this lip instead. I like that it doesn't cover the side of the bumper. Can you post the link where you got it? How's the quality?

Here are some initial photos. I bought gloss black paint to color match BUT the raw poly sort of matches the grills. What are your thoughts?
I am going to test fit this week and see if I can get away with some other methods to secure it to the bumper instead of screwing but I think I may have no other options. I do have some 3M dual lock which may be a solution so I will see if that is thin enough to use or if it won't make the lip sit flush to the underside of the bumper...
Two things.
1. You lowered your car so you will need to back into any parking spots that have a cement car stops or concrete sidewalk. With the TRD spoilers and stock shock/springs on my car I only have 1" to 1.5" of clearance. This spoiler would set at least that much below the front bumper.
From the pictures posted, this may be a nice low cost option to test trail prior to making a decision to go with a Lexon. I would be interested as to where you purchased this lip. Thanks

Here is the solution I am going to try. It may hold and it makes removal simple if ever needed plus if ever you curb it it just releases vs ripping your bumper. He makes a couple other comments about it later on too.

2. There's bug guts on your car dude!!!
Not worried about me hitting...my wife, that's a different story.
Mine came in today as well. I ordered it from Bayson on ebay for around $70 shipped via FedEx. I'm going to test fit it tomorrow before taking it to have it painted black.

Not as well as I would hope and it caused a pretty large gap between the lip and the bumper. I didnt prep too well for the adhesion so you may have better luck. My main goal was the gap test.
Looks good on the mock up. I just ordered the skipper replica from fleabay but now kinda regretting not getting this one. Guess we'll see when it arrives on monday. Anyone know where we can get the skipper side blade replicas? Only kits are like 600 beans on fleabay.

Ordered the Bayson R Lexon replica front lip....
