Nada, without that lip, the headlight washers and fogs, that's how the US spec car was.

And no headlight beam level switch, no separate high beam units, no Traffic or RDS on the radio, no rear fog lights, no heated rear seats and on and on. But the U.S. specification first generation LS400 was far less expensive than the versions sold in Europe and the U.K.

i was just thinking if i was to pick up a few ,say 6 or so and ship them over to one person how mutch it would be for shiping,then that person state side was to sell them on.?
i will look into it to see how mutch they work out at,they might just be to expensive with shipping,but i think i would be able to pick up second hand lips for next to sod all.

Must be a nightmare putting fuel in that car at UK prices. If I did my math right it cost about $200.00 U.S. to fill up your car over there.

The "lip" as you call it (SPOILER SUB-ASSY, FRONT) doesn't seem to fit U.S. bumper covers very well -- looks obviously tacked on due to the U.S. bumper covers being different than the ones on Japanese and UK/Euro market cars. Here is a past thread about them: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...y-jdm-lip.html

Sorry guys, this is turning into a group buy / non-approved vendor type thread that puts several folks at odds with our terms of service.

Got to get this made and sold (or imported) via an approved CL vendor please.
