I think it's hard to notice the slit if you have a real dark like black. Can someone find out where we can purchase the lip?

Nice find!


When I navigate to the LXMODE site, the front lip doesn't seem to have that slit. Can any of our members read Japanese? I'd be really interested in ordering one if the price is right (this or the Fab lip)...

Where do you get those front license plate holders? I have a Tungsten Pearl and the plate holder seems to match the car paint color. I currently have a non-matching ugly black one.

Those are the plate holders in Japan. It is also color matched to every vehicle.

It seems to be the most popular lip in Japan. It's by LEXON.

It seems in Japan, you CAN turn on the fogs with parking light only. Or it might be a button, Could be one the many voided buttons we have by our left knee.

I know one button is the sunshade. Dunno about the two other blank ones.

That picture you just posted is the LEXON lip.

This is the Carlsson. I posted a LINK, because the photo is VERY big.

that Carlsson lip looks awesome! Can someone tell me what rims this guy has on the IS?



i think it says Connaisseur No. 151-C but Google couldn't find them
Does Carlsson also offer side skirts or a rear spoiler?

Edit: found these on the carlsson.co.jp website, obviously the front lip is the only nice looking part that carlsson has to offer
