Maybe I can meet up with you this spring if i have any fitment issues with my front lip and sidskirts.

Really like that you are bringing the side up to meet spoiler. I want to get the same spoiler but dont plan on molding it. Guess ill have to go authentic, or plan on alot of doing alot of work to it to make it fit right.

From what I hear from other members the difference in fitment with the rep and authentic isn't that much off. But the price definitely is. Sffd has the authentic molded to his. He even said that his body man didnt like the fitment, and that was when they decided to mold it. Another member also posted his authentic on the last page here. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...spoiler-8.html
You could ask them how they felt about the fitment before you decide what to purchase. I don't really like how it looks not molded. At first before I took on this project I was debating whether I was capable of doing this or not. If I wasnt I was gonna go with the oem spoiler. I think that looks clean not molded. I even prefer that over the is f spoiler

My lip kit, fitment wasnt perfect at first. But what I did to make it perfect was I used screws rivets and double sided 3M tape. And a helping hand helps too. Having someone help you secure one side while you put on the other makes a big difference

Once again I gotta give credit to Sffd103 (many of you may know him with all his features ) . He is the only guy I have seen with this done and when I first started researching 2IS's it was his car that I first saw a molded wald spoiler on. In fact I didnt even realize It was a custom job. I assumed it was a aftermarket trunk that could be bought. After much research I decided to buy a replica wald spoiler and mold that but a month after that I still wasn't satisfied and took on this venture. And here I am. Will be finishing up tommorow!
