Default OEM kit on IS350 without a drop?!?

What does everyone think about getting the OEM lip kit w/o a drop? Usually it looks pretty funny to get kits without a drop but I don't want to lose the stock ride. What does everyone else thing about this!??

The best thing to do is to go to the dealer and look for one of their IS lines with a lip kit. I saw quite a few of them and they look good. But the drop is barely noticeable. It doesn't have that low look at all, but just makes it look more aggressive---that's it. It looks like the fender gap is still the same, lol. If I really wanted one bad, I would've have probably got it. But the cost didn't justify getting one since it doesn't really look like I would benefit a whole lot from it.

So yes, it will keep your car stock and doesn't make it look lowered at all. At least that's what I saw from the Lexus's here at the dealership with the kit.

I got the front X-package lip, it looks absolutely beautiful. It makes the car stand out a little more. But, the car still will not look dropped.

Yes, I hate that front fender gap, but I guess I have to live with it. I saw one at my local dealer which does not have the gap so I don't know else can I do to eliminate it.

But, I'm pretty sure you're gonna like it after you get on your car.

The OEM kit front lip isn't lower than the stock lip (yes, you have to remove the lower portion of the front bumer lip in order to install the OEM kit lip).

Your car won't look any more lifted with the OEM kit lip on stock suspension - I have the same on mine and it looks fine.
