Would be cool to get Bayson to make a cheap front lip for the GSF like they did for the ISF.......I paid $130 for mine and at that price you don't care if you scrape it or not because if you do and it gets bad enough you just buy another one.

You realize the existing CF piece at the bottom of the bumper is $4k to replace, and any lip would likely be attaching to that piece somehow. That might be slowing the prospects of someone coming up with an aftermarket solution.

Yeah, I was thinking that very same thing. I have a Bayson lip on my 2015 GS350 F-Sport (currently for sale), which looks great, but do I want to attach to the lip of my GS-F, assuming that's real carbon fiber? I wouldn't want to drill into it.. Plus, it already looks fantastic. Yes, I do want additional protection, but what's the solution?

You nailed it. I'm not drilling into a $4k part for giggles. It would have to be very serious, and probably also carbon fiber.

im not saying anything about drilling into the stock carbon part. im saying if there was a gsf specific spoiler im sure it would have 3m double stick tape for the carbon part on the bumper and some screws that go into the bumper section not to damage the stock part,
im sure even all the $1300 ones dont drill into the cf part on the bumper

You should get the Tom’s carbon front lip. It fits like a glove and quality is top notch, installation is a breeze, fits on all the stock mounting points. You will need to drill 4 screws in the front and it won’t go thru your factory bumper. It only cost around $1700

I prefer the Novel front lip design.
