Nice. An OEM lip would really set it off.

throttle controller makes a difference. On SP7 from a stop, the car really launches. I get better throttle response as well when tackling multiple corners. Unfortunately, ECO mode is not a BIG difference. I'd say I saved 3mpg on ECO.

@Skylar, I do not think you can get an OEM lip for the 2008-2011 models in the US. Do they even make one? Link? I wanted the whole lip kit 5-Axis made for the Orange FSPORT GS, but one of the employees say it was a one time production they did for the local dealer to use at shows. After the show they smashed the whole car T_T.





@TRD_Power, thanks.

Yes, they make an OEM lip, but it is VERY rare and hard to come across.





I think there is a company that makes a replica of it as well, but I have no idea how to get hold of one. I am interested if someone knows where we can get one custom made, and maybe do a clublexus "Group Buy" on it. I would be in for sure!

Albeit, the pic above is an 06-07 bumper, I think it will fit 08+ as well. I am not exactly sure though..

front lip and rear lip would balance the car out more. you have my vote on the group as long as its reasonably priced, but the lip should be based on '08+ bumpers. you are going to have to retrofit 06-07 lip to fit '08 bumpers I believe. There is a minor change on the bottom after the fog lights. '08+ have more curvature.

Lip looks a little bulky/clunky, but hey, that's just my opinion. Car looks better without it, IMO.

Since we're on the topic of performance does anyone know if any 2GR-FSE engine, will take any intake for other cars with it?

Since we're on the topic of lips I installed an EZ-LIP on my car about a month ago... It's still on! Waiting to see how the snow will do...

F Sport upgrades are interesting, I want to get the cold air intake and the exhaust but I'm so curious if its worth 1300.00 for the exhaust. Am I really going to like the sound it makes.

Also, how much better handling is the car with the sway bars?

Im sure the struts/ shocks are even better than stock.

The sway bars are a night and day difference.
