I so like that look, does the lip have a screen in it also? I kind of see one.

chuckbass

Yup, it has screens/mesh!

Hey chuckbass - since you have 400h - did you notice any change in MPG after installing that lip? Also, do you have matching lip in rear and sides?

chuckbass

Nope, no difference in gas mileage noted. There is a kit that works with this lip, but I'm not planning on picking it up.

Here's a picture of my lip with the sides and rear, which appears to be a Duraflex kit:

I love the look! Debating if it will be better in black or silver as the rest of the car...

Whenever i change oil, my mechanic unscrews few bolts to remove plastic cover to get to oil filter - does this lip still allows to get there easily or it goes instead of bottom piece?

Chuckbass could you take a full side view so that I can see what the front looks like with the stock OEM sides and rear.

chuckbass

I don't think the lip interferes with changing oil, but I'll crawl under it this weekend and see.

I'll also try to take some full side view shots this weekend.

Here's a couple of pics. I cranked the contrast so that the new lip and stock side skirts and overhangs could be compared.

Actually the OEM skirts work well into the front lip. The down part at the front of the IEM sides dips nicely to meet the front lip. For me, I would also want a rear lip looking at the photo. Also that lip does address the "uppercut look" of the front.

Another question I can post here, does anyone have any picture of Lexus RX's with any front lip (irrespective of brand) but the stock sides and back? I am still trying to make a decision from my initial post.
