its not a lip, the whole front bumper and maybe bumper support were different for Euro cars.

no digging the side markers on the fender, but i guess euro regulations are different than DOT's requirements here. also noticed the headlamp washers on the bumper and body color rocker panels!

Perhaps SK from near Toronto will chime in but I can tell you that early gen 1 Canadian specification LS400's do not have the same bumper/cover used in the U.K. and Europe and some other countries. The early Canadian spec LS400 bumper looks almost identical to the ones on U.S. spec models except that bumper mounted headlight pressure washers were standard in Canada.

By the way, the brake cooling inlets below the fog lights on the U.K./European LS400 front bumper are connected to ductwork that directs the airflow to the front brake disks -- they are not just cosmetic.

That lip is an add on not a whole bumper and we do not have those here just the normal built in fogs for the headlights and headlight washers.
I would think that TUV the German /euro type regulations make the fogs have to be placed lower than the headlights unlike ours.

If someone was able to get there hands on a few of these bumpers they could make a killing in sales. I think anybody who wants a simple clean look would get one of theese if they hadan option, I would.

After 4 months of searching I really wouldn't mind driving one of those if I could find one. I like the canadian version of the LS400 alot also. IT has a few more options than the regular LS.

Hello,

I might be able to get them new from the dealer and have them shipped to the US.
The euro LS has extra high beams where the US has the fog lights!

I will get the splitted pic from the dealer for part numbers. It should be possible for you guys to order the parts new at the dealer.
