Default Cracked Lexon Front Lip ='(

Hey Guys,

Haven't been here in awhile. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone can recommend someplace that makes really good replica front lips? I cracked my Lexon Front Lip and after many attempts to get it fixed, it was deemed unfixable. I would honestly LOVE to get another Lexon Front Lip for my IS250, but i can't justify the price especially with the way the economy is. Not to mention the wait time. The price listed on l-tunedparts.com does not include tax or shipping so that already ridiculous price WILL be even more ludicrous.

It doesn't have to be a Lexon replica, as long as it's a nice front lip i'm willing to go for it. Doesn't have to be on the East coast either, i'm willing to pay shipping to get it here.

Thanks in advance for any help ! =]
-Ken

ps. if anyone is selling theres i'll buy it, but i highly doubt it since it's still fairly rare =T

Im think youd have an easier time finding one by posting in the 2nd Gen IS Classified section

Soon enough there will be Wald replica

I'm only going replica because I want my kit in CF. I guess I don't have a choice.

i haven't been active on here for a long time so i wasn't quite sure where to post. Should i post under the vendor or member classifieds? Any vendors that you would suggest out of the rest?

btw to u8mahph0 it was indeed a real one. I was one of the first to purchase it when they first started selling them. At the time they were having a group buy on a bunch of Lexon Exclusive parts. Since then the prices have gone up quite a lot. Unfortunately, i do not nor will i have the funds to purchase a real one for a couple months and my car just does not feel the same without it (haha).

You might want to check out Next Mod. Many have bought items from him including me. I had the fab lip and it was perfect fitment. I highly recommend.

In the interim i ended up just picking up an OEM GFX front lip for 96(before shipping) from Sewell. With so many financial obligations, a nicer lip will have to go on the back burner for now.

sorry pocky, as soon as the lip cracked i immediately brought it to my uncles shop and after literally nearly 2 months of trying different ways to salvage it, nothing would work. Its a clean break. I broke it while parking - misjudged some thick ice in front of me and it applied too much pressure to the front of the lip and you just heard it snap. I had a feeling one day something like that would happen since it had that gap in the lip. Maybe next fall when I save up enough i'll order another hah.
