Default Replacement for OEM Ground Effects front lip

Hi all,

My 08 350 had an unfortunate run in with a tire on the highway, which effectively ripped off the front lip.

The bumper itself was repairable, but apparently the OEM Ground Effects kit isn't sold or manufacturered any longer, so I wasn't able to easily source a replacement. So now I'm left with some ugly mount points under the front bumper.

Does anyone know where I can source the GFX lip, or something else that will fit (preferably something subtle like the original)? All of the ones I find online appear to be designed for the standard bumper. I could always just swap for a standard bumper, but I'm trying to avoid the cost of painting the whole thing.

See attached pics to clarify what I'm talking about.





Thanks!

I had something very similar happen. Luckily I was able to pick up one of the last available through Sewell Lexus years ago. Best bet to look out in your local area for "parts cars" that are for sale to grab the pieces you need from them.

Good luck on your search!
