Default 19" TSW Gunmetal Strips and ebay F Sport style lip on 09 SGM IS250

Decided to go back down to 19" wheels instead. Wanted something to color match the car somewhat and went with some TSW Strips in Gunmetal. Probably not anyone's cup of tea here seeing most styles but I like them. Also added on my ebay F Sport style lip as well. Next on the list is a set of probably Megan EZ Coilovers to drop it abit.

Not the greatest pics at all but just some quick ones I snapped. Going to get my good friend SCHema to do a proper shoot for me.

Is this the same lip?

If so, how was fitment? Did you just 3M tape it for install or did you use some screws?

Pretty good
I would rate it like a 8.5-9 out of 10
If it had just abit more length it could wrap around the ends better
Another option is to trim the side edges off and it wont be as tight.

same seller has like a rear diffuser type add on that i was going to get but decided against it at the time
i might get it later but if i do i think i will probably need some side skirts too so not sure

Awesome, can you post more pics of the lip?

Up close and from different angles?

Thanks

*Edit: Just saw you were planning to do a proper photo shoot later.

Love the lip on the rims.

It's going to look even better once you get a drop.

Any plans on side skirts and rear lip?

Nice start, I think it matches well with your color. Just drop it and get a rear lip and your set.

I actually like it. With a conservative drop, those wheels will look even better. Nice, clean and subtle. Off to a great start.
