By VIPautosalon. I was screwed with the wait time. I threatened to cancel my order and only then did they work on my order.

its best that you check if they have them in stock or else it will be a long wait. I got mines like 5 months after I place the order. I knew it was going to take long but didn't know it was going to take almost half a year to get here.

I really like the AutoCouture myself. Ventross was another nice looking lip, although I believe it's discontinued. Some other options for the front are the WALD front, Aritisan Spirits, Arkym (I believe it has been test fitted and had recently had its group buy through Sonic MS), and of course the front splitters. I'm interested in the AC lip, but not sure how it would handle given I'm lowered with coilovers.

I guess it depends on how lowered you are... I have the AC on stock setup and i clear driveways and speed bumps pretty easy if keep my speed low (just rollin with brake). But i do occasionally scrape if i go a little fast onto a driveway. i think even at an inch drop you'll have to be real careful... hope this helps!!

The AC lip does look great on our cars

I'm working on another alternative currently. Something much cheaper with low wait times and the possibility of polyurethane. It's actually being delivered today, and I will let you guys know how she goes.

So anyone know of any place other than VIPAutoSalon, BulletProofAuto, and L-tuned that carries the branew kit? VIP had the best price by far but seems to be having issues as of late.

I need to replace my front lip after an incident with some road kill that was unavoidable.

Toms parts will take anywhere from 3-8 months unless you find it in stock somewhere.

Ok guys, I got my lip yesterday from Carson Lexus.

But I have a few questions. My lip doesnt fit correctly. It almost looks like one side is a little longer that the other (on the sides, and my "Lexon" badge is missing? It looks authentic, but do you guys think I got shafted with a replica?

Here are the pics...

Looks legit to me, remember that carbon exterior parts aren't always a perfect fitment. My Lexon badge didn't come on the lip, I put it on after it was painted.. But I doubt anyone makes a replica of that lip.
