Default Where did you get your front lip?

Like the title states, where d you guys get your lips from? I am seeing all sorts of places, but prices are over 400$ for a just a front lip. I understand that LS460 is a flagship of lexus and blah blah, but seriously 400$ for just a lip is a bit overboard. Any opinions?

I think the brands that even bothered fabricating/manufacturing a front lip for our cars are usually the "premium" brands to begin with.

Wald, Vertex, Anceltion, Blitz, Ings+1, Aimgain, just to name a few. You might be paying a little more than $400 (cheapest I found between all those options is Vertex for about $550), but what you're paying for is the fitment and authenticity.

AFAIK, I haven't heard of any authentic aero made for our cars that didn't fit perfectly. Everyone I've talked to that has purchased authentic aero has had 100% perfect fitment, myself included.

Also, I just noticed that VIP Auto Salon is running a huge special on Lexon/Wald Front Lips. You should PM them and see what they can do for you.

I ordered the wald rear apron, wald roof spoiler, junction produce trunk spoiler and Ings front lip. Waiting on the non-wald products. I like NATs car on here and wanted to mix it up.

Still debating on which side skirts.

Definately will post pics - off topic but do you know what it takes to wire up oem LS600 fogs on a 460. Do I have to cut into the factory harness?

Are you asking about OEM fogs of the JDM Option Fogs in the Classifieds section?

OEM is same between LS460 and LS600 IIRC
JDM Option Fog is an HID and LED system which would require additional hardware but nothing too complicated.

Haha yes I was asking about the ones in the classified section. Are the outer LEDs powered with the daytime running lights or work in sync when the fogs are turned on.

Upgrading my fog lights are on my to do list. I'm sure the wiring is easy but would prefer not splicing into the harness. Thx
