Default 09-10 "WD Style" front lip

Hello everyone,

I looked through the 2nd gen faq body kit thread and did and search but did not find anything on this lip I found on ebay.

Anyone know how the fitment is or have any pictures of it installed on your car?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEXUS-IS250-IS350-09-10-WD-STYLE-URETHANE-FRONT-BUMPER-LIP-SPOILER-BODYKIT-/151051224612?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Year%3A2009%7CModel%3AIS250&hash=item232b5ac624&vxp=mtr#ht_3186wt_906
Thanks in advance!

^^^ This is a replica of the original Wald Kit...and the picture they used was stolen from a member on here with the genuine Wald Kit (Josh)

Don't believe that picture one bit.... Replicas are pretty much hit or miss. Every one piece that is replicated will be different from the other because there is no quality control when replicating. A lot of time, the fitment would be off and your body shop needs to modify the pieces to get exact fit.

It all depends on your luck. You can gamble with and buy one.

I bought one a few months ago when I did a front conversion to the 09-10 years and I bought that Wald replica lip but from a different seller. The fitment was SPOT ON. No gaps anywhere on the sides, middle, or by the grilles. The only issue was that the area around the fogs weren't cut perfectly. So I took a utility blade and trimmed it perfect in about 10 minutes.

Here's a picture of it when I got it installed.

nice chi123! I ordered mine this morning and can't wait for it to come in. Appreciate the feedback...I'm going to test fit and trim also before taking it to paint.

I definitely was debating between the two but I went with 09-10 cause I wanted a Wald front lip. I have a JP Vizage rear and getting Wald sides soon so I wanted the front to match everything else. The 11-13 don't have any lip options I like and the "Wald" lip for the 11-13 don't look too good appearance and fitment wise. The Wald lip on the 09 also sits lower and looks bulkier so I kind of liked that.
