Default Are there any great fit/finish/low cost front lips out there?

Likely a tall order but, looking for a nice front lip to go on my '13 GS350 Fsport that won't cost an arm and a leg. Looking specifically for a brand that has good fit and finish. I've installed various lips on my E63 in the past and they were really hit or miss regarding how well they fit without gaps and overhangs.

Thanks - Todd

Most of the lips by the best makers such as TRD, Wald, Aimgain, Skipper, Lexon, etc. will be pricey ($900+).

I went the route of a replica "L-Style" lip (Lexon Style) which fits both the f-sport and non-sport bumpers and cost me $50. I did this because i'll also end up scraping it eventually with the potholes, snow/ice, etc. The fit was great IMHO for the price paid. Here is the thread with pics: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...-bumper-3.html

Here's another helpful thread with lots of the lips available (btw: eBay would be a good source for decent, low cost replicas): https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...0-f-sport.html

I also went with this same lip and had perfect fit and no issues for a year. I'm thinking of upgrading to the carbon fiber Skipper style replica which will cost me about $350.
