Default Lexon front lip install questions

So I hit a rabbit and basically ruined my front end. So I have to get a new bumper, fog light, AND A NEW FRONT LIP I'm kind of inclined to go for the Lexon front lip. I like the clean look of it.

I don't have the original lower pieces of the bumper any more (replaced by the GFX lip). Do I have to have them for the Lexon front lip or does it actually mount to the underneath of the bumper like the GFX lip does?

What other lips mount without the original front pieces? I know the GFX, Vertex, Wald and INGS can be mounted without them. Does anyone have experience with this?

Edit: Also, does anyone actually have the JUN-TW lips? I don't think I've ever seen anyone with them?

I sent an email to Lexon myself to see how it mounts. My japanese is ok, but not great. We'll see what we get back. Carson wasn't that sure when I talked to them on the phone.

Heard back from Lexon, in Yokohama. The front lip requires the original front spoiler to be installed. So that will be a no go for my winter rework.

On a more interesting note, I found out that a company called Boom-Enterprises is the distributor for several Japanese companies and can ship out many parts from companies directly. I checked out their website, which looks like a grade 8 project, and was a bit sketched out by them. There's not really much on there, just some Canadian Tire-like crap. They did have 24k Gold emblems for the IS-X50 $600 if anyone is looking to ball hard

Check it out for yourselves.
