Default Octane Motorsports/2011+ ISx50 Front Lips

I found these online today, and was curious if anyone has any experience with quality/fitment of these (or anything from Octane Motorsports)?

Edit - The manufacturer is Ikon Motorsports

Also, which do you prefer?

My first choice:


Second choice:

Thanks!

Wow very nice find! I thought having a 2012 and finding a front lip was going to be hopeless.

I like the first one. I wonder if that can be put on top of the f-sport front splitters?
Looks like a wind splitter all the way around! I like very much!

That first picture makes the 2011+ bumper look like the older models. The F-Sport splitters looks the best to me IMO.

Thanks for the replies!

I agree, the Wald style is definitely my first choice, but I'm concerned by the fitment in the picture (you can see a gap just inside the fog light on the driver's side), as well as the $102 price. Since it's polyurethane I imagine a good body shop would be able to get it right though.

I personally do not like the F-Sport canards, or would have done that ages ago.

Looks like the manufacturer of the lip is Ikon Motorsports, anyone have any experience with their products?

As always, your input is appreciated.

Looks like typical eBay replicas imo. The first one is a Wald replica, and the second is a Lexon replica, without the splitters. itzhieu has the Lexon replica from AIT, it's created to flow without the F-Sport splitters.

Thanks for the reply.

I have no choice but to go replica, as Wald doesn't make a lip for 2011+ cars.

I got the second lip on my car. Not from Octane Motorsports though, but i'm sure it's the exact same quality as the one I got. Fitment was perfect, and it has 6 holes for bolting it onto the front bumper (using the existing bolts on the car). The only thing you have to do is remove the two front mud guards in front of the front wheels in order for the lip to bolt on tightly. I used 3M tape only on the centre part. Held up perfectly fine so far (year and a half, through Canadian winter as well)

Here's mine:

Thank you very much for the useful post!! Great to hear, and for $150 I may just go ahead and order one. I really appreciate the feedback.
