My friend has the Fabulous front lip rep and it looks really clean. Fitment is perfect. I like how it flares forward towards the corners. Get that front.

Thanks for everyones reply. I have an black is350 so would a carbon fiber or just regular fabolous front lip look better on the car? And Sffd103, does it look aggresive in person?

I am Sffd103's friend

I don't really know what you mean by "aggressive". This is obviously more aggressive than stock. When I think of "aggressive" front lips I think of time attack cars with full blown aero kits on the front. I don't see any of the front lips offered for our cars extremely "aggressive" The fab flows well with the car in my opinion.

case in point, the fabulous front lip doesn't look like your front lip.

notice the left and right edges of the fabulous front lip?

if you're going to call it a fabulous replica front lip... well, it just doesn't look "like" the original.

i'm not trying to nit-pick, but if you like it, more power to you.

ah, you have the replica of the JDM version of the fabulous front lip. got it.

as i've said, if you like it ("like" as in "have an affinity", not "like" as in "similar"), more power to you.

I did not buy Fab but Vertex rep from nextmod, build quality was so horrible that I didn't even want to re-sell to any CL members but returned them with big lost of $$$. I am happy with the Fab CF, fitment is good, not perfect, but build quality is 100% better than nextmod.

Tom's 09+ front lip looks similar to this lip, but it's not cheap or cf.
