Default IS250 Lip Kit without a drop?!

I finally got my hands on my baby ( is250), And like im still paying for it 300 a month and all.. So i wanted to take it slow and steady pace before i put it on coils and buy the smaller stuff first!
I was wondering how it would look with the V style (Vertex) lip kit on it? Does anyone happen to have some pictures of a is250 without a drop with a lipkit?
I know people say it might look awkward but i seen 2 people that pull it off nicely but i would like to confirm it before i make my purchase ! Thanks!

Without a drop it kinda looks like a paper plate driving down the road.

Like everyone else said, just save lip kit money for coils then save for the lips later.

It will look a little odd with a front lip and no drop. But if you can't lower the IS for personal or financial reasons, you should just wait on the front lip. Good luck.

Yeah it would probably look funny.
I saw someone with the fat lip kit and it looked decent not terribly bad. It would really nice with the drop.. I'm just tryna see how it looks like you know?

If you can afford the lip kit comfortably then go ahead and get it. Get it and save up to lower the car and THEN put the lip kit on! GL!
