is your front lip urethane or c.f.? I been looking for urethane and haven't had any luck. Can you tell me where you got your lip if it's urethane. Thanks! Looks nice

where did you get your front lip? Is it urethane or fiberglass? I been looking for a clean lip like yours but urethane material.

It's a fiberglass Skipper lip.

Polyurethane. Autobody painters said it took a lot of coats as it was so porous.

thanks for the link, did you have problems with fitment? I actually purchased one on eBay that look just like it, but it didn't fit right. The side ends were too short to reach the back of my front bumper.

Yeah I had to do a little creative stretching to get it to fit. I did the ends last and had to get a buddy to hold the ends while I attached it to the back of the front bumper.

As for the lip spoiler on the trunk, it is from ebay also.

thanks again for your help. My ends may need a heat gun if that's the case. They are not even close to reaching the back of the bumper.

Nice writeup! I definitely went with the cheap auto parts store ones you mentioned... but I'd consider upgrading if I end up getting another IS in the near future.

Smile Haven't done much to it but I'm fine with the way it looks now.

Light on point!
didn't really keep up with this thread but 318 posts are a lot to read.
just going by the title-- I haven't done much to my #3IS. Just blacked out wheels and F logo for the front. Looks good to me. I want to get a small rear spoiler and some nice rims though.
