Default Front Lip Help...

Ok... I park at the same place everyday at work... and I know the lip is lower than the parking stop, but still, this time I forgot. So my front lip is a bit cracked, but it ripped the hook thingys. Now I have double sided molding tape to hold it. While it's not a road hazard, and seems very stable, I don't know if it will eventaully screw up. Right now it's just basically ugly, so I'm not sure if I should replace it or just wait for it to really die.

So... does anyone have pictures of aftermarket lips, especially on black cars? I want to get a CF one, but the only one I found is from Seibon, which is pretty big for my tastes. Also, I heard the front lip from Lexus is two peice, but the guy who helped me out said mine was one. Help/suggestions? =)

I think this is a genuine CARLSSON part. Not a knockoff!

Not sure if that is a genuine CARLSSON lip. But if you are looking for a CF lip you should check out steve's car. . . Fabulous Carbon Fiber

Yeah i'm backing into the space now >.<

The Fabulous lip is nice, but the one I really like is the Anceltion one. I found some sites showing it, but other than Japan, is there anyway to order it here in the US (including special ordering).

Thanks for the site, it was what I was looking for. But that store seems very expensive... even their Tanabe exhaust says it's from Japan... hmm has anyone had any experience with them?
