That's intense!

I'm in the market for an inexpensive front lip. My gf is the one that primarily drives this car and she will probably scrape the front. She lets me modify her car haha.

The goal is to give the car a nice look. It's missing pieces right now.

I am on the fence with the greddy lip or a replica. It's going to be soon because i can't stand to look at it oem anymore lol. That and some black housing headlights.

And you're right genuine parts are expensive for sure haha.

This is my TL that I drive.

Ha! Wasnt expecting to meet the owner of that bad boy LOL.

Well greddy looks great on its on. Everything else needs a kit to pull it off.

You could run a RMM lip but its pricey.

haha you've seen it before?!

I've been studying photos of IS300s. There are so many choices compared to the TL, and it's making the decision difficult. The greddy is simple, can flex, won't cost a lot, and will change the front a whole lot.

I'm looking at RMM images and i think i found another photo of your car.

$3k for the RMM kit? The kit includes the Front polyurethane side pieces and the middle CF piece, the polyurethane side skirts, fiberglass grill and rear trunk spoiler. Am I missing something besides maybe you including the paint and labor of install as well as the shipping cost?

What roof spoiler is that in the picture with the IS300 on the ramps?

I prefer the TEs, but in 18s.

I figure so, but totally missed the fact you are up North you crazy Canadian. I have a white IS300 too and Bronze would be my first choice and then gunmetal, but for sure TEs.

Shipping cost is always a mega biatch in coo-coo California too. I end up picking up at the Freight docks of FedEx to save money. Thanks for answering my question about your roof spoiler. I like I like....lol.

[QUOTE=ACCURATEin;7629332]The difference between a 19" TE37 and a 18" CE28.
