Default E-bay Lip - would you?
I like the simple look of the Auto Couture lip, but having a tough time finding one for my 07 GS 450. Would you guys buy this lip: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VIS-LEXUS-GS...ht_7013wt_1270

also, would you buy from this site: http://www.bodykits.com/Lexus/GS/Bod.../Front-Bumper/

here's another: http://www.bodykits.com/VIS-Racing/F...CT_011/840171/

Last - are there any places/sites you guys would recommend I look into?

I am in the NorCal area in case anyone was wondering.

Thanks!

Chris

They look like knock offs honestly. Fitment probably would be a huge issue.

I have the second lip in carbon fiber. Fitment is perfectly good and the price only half of the real auto couture. Good luck

Yes, on the JP Visage, since it is made of urethane. No on the other two.

VIS racing makes legit parts, knockoffs but their fitment was well when I had them on my other car.

Just make sure the VIS racing logo is all over the wrapper that is sent to you, otherwise it might be a knock off of that knock off
