Ignore the ghost in the background.



Just noticed what they offer in the dealership (Middle East) isn't actually F-Sport. Notice it's bulkier and no extra black piece around the foglights. That's only for the 2011 here, now we have F-Sport for the 2012.

I saw pictures of that different 2011 front on the Lexus Japan and New Zealand website before! It looked kind of different from the F-Sport but I wasn't sure at first.

Looks great! Where is that lip available, and any idea on how easy it is to install?

overseas.....similar to the Fsport US version. Install should be the same as the Fsport, since they are not exact duplicates the problem you would run into would be if you wanted to dremel out the slots. The US 2011 bumpers are pre-marked for the US F-sport splitters Not sure if those slots would line up the mounting points to these pictured, they look to be slightly lower on the side where it wraps around the side of the bumper. Of course you could always remove the mounting points that are on the inside of the splitter. They are held on with 3m tape...and just stick them on. A member has done that with the F-sport ones (2011)

Anyone know any information about the F-Sport Front Lip Kit for the 2011 IS that's just been added to the Lextuners website?

Link? If its the same OEM front F-sport kit Sewell has its pretty straight forward. Fitament is spot on, and installation is pretty easy.

Here's the link. http://www.lextuners.com/2011-fsport-front-lip-kit.html

Wondering if this is the same as Sewell, even though the Sewell website says it's not compatible with Non F-Sport Bumpers. Neither site has posted instructions, so I assume drilling and/or cutting is required.

Its the same kit. Sewell is cheaper.... It is compatable, I have personally put the ones from Sewell on my car. Yes, you have to remove the bumper, remove fog light housings. Your bumper has rectacular marks on the inside. you can either dremel out the marks or remove the tabs from the splitters and apply 3m tape and stick them on the bumper. Its whatever you feel comfortable with. There is a how to thread here that shows it all.

appears to be the same as sewell. I would recommend the bumper removal method rather than the 3M for the front. not that difficult to do and if you are lowered, you are going to scrap that front end at some point. hit a drive way hard enough and you just might loose those corner pieces.

you pretty much have to remove it anyways since the fog lights have to be removed..but yes I agree..I went the the cut method.
