Default ebay front lip feedback

Has anybody tried this lip? Wondering how fitment is.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/06-07-08-LEXUS-IS250-IS350-FRONT-BUMPER-LIP-SPOILER-OE-STYLE-POLY-URETHANE-PU/181148817247?rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D163%26meid%3D1179104266672580310%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D1088%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D200959716220%26
Seems like a much cheaper alternative to the GFX lip from Sewell.

Thanks in advance for any feedback,

Veach

Well, since there's been so many views but no replies I'm guessing nobody has tried it yet. I ordered the lip from ebay last night and will have it painted and will do the install myself once I receive the product. Ill let everyone know about fitment once I'm finished. For the price I think its worth a shot.

Couldn't be too far off from an actually GFX lip. If there's any gaps, double-sided tape!

Basically what Gville350 said, for the price you can't go wrong.

Looks pretty much like the Sewell (OEM) lip as far as mounting points. Do a search,theres an old thread that shows how to mount by removing the side tabs so you dont have to cut a hole in the sides of the bumper.I mounted mine after cutting the side tabs and after 4 yrs have had no problems

Thanks for all the input. I definitely plan on bolting and using 3m tape. Dont want to cut a hole in my bumper. Ill post feedback and pictures once its received and installed.

Sewells Lip is actually a replica as well. The OEM gfx was actually discontinued a while back and it seems like Sewell produced their own replicas. The ebay ones are great fitment. No gaps at all for the ones I've seen in person. There's an old thread on this showing the whole Sewell replica deal.

And there should be no reason to cut into the bumper as for the front lip. The rear gfx has some tabs (which are removable) that are meant to be inserted to multiple holes on the bumper. But the front is just bolt on using the same tabs from the OEM lip
