ah yes those pics make it alot clearer that you aint getting that rear lip on w/o trimming the cut outs, haha. so much for wishful thinking 
can anyone confirm that the front lip is installed w/o cutting. i looked at the instructions online, and it says you need to drill a slot into both sides and waht not. but i read in some threads that you dont need to cut at all?

Its held together pretty firm with the 9 bolts, 4 fasteners & double side tape..
The cutting out of holes on the front is just too over engineered..

I am purchasing a used one this week, hence why I have been looking into installing it.
from waht i can see from the pictures the cutting of the holes looks like soemthing more along the lines for clearance or something? I cant really tell from the crappy pics on the install instructions, its either for clearance, or to force the owner of the car to buy a new bumper if and when they remove the lip,
but dang...Terrance told me he didn't have to cut it...or maybe I heard wrong...haha

I'm a new IS250 owner, and i'm interested in adding the front bumper ground effects to my car. I havent seen enough pics out there yet, but would it look weird if I only install the front, and not the rear bumper?
