Do a search on the forum here, and you will find a couple of useful threads I believe!

If I were you, I would go with the All-Fit Automotive lip for your car. It is more durable than the EZ Lip and will protect your car better. I have it on my car currently and I highly recommend it.

i can't believe people are actually marketing these rubber pieces as lips and getting people to buy them! this idea originally came about as the "home depot lip"....do a search and you'll see that it's just a garage door rubber seal LOL ...save yourself some money and go to Home Depot if you must have it.

For the All-Fit lips.. Do you have to drill holes if you want to use the screws?

If in the future I want to take it off, will it harm to paint at all? Will the tape peel off the paint?

And the most noob question.. what hell else does the lip do? Beside the "Look".

I read on the website.. "With correct installation, the All-Fit Lip Kits will offer lifelong protection.... It also improves the aerodynamics of your car, making for better mileage and saving you gas money..." BETTER MILES? REALLY??

its all marketing B.S. they're trying to sell a garage door seal as a real lip!!! i've never actually seen one in person, but i imagine they flap around in the wind on freeways and probably create more drag than improve aero.

if you guys don't believe me about the origins of the "home depot lip"...it's just a google search away.

Yep... would not put this on a Lexus. The person that posted before, its not even carbon, its "carbon look" and a Stillen sticker to boot lol (they have their own legit made for the 3IS front lip/splitter)

i mean, yeah, I would not put this on a lexus to begin with....but if you absolutely NEED to, at least go to Home Depot and buy the seal so you can make 2-3 lips for cheaper than it costs to buy from eBay!

I've had the EZ lip kit to see how it would hold up to my steep driveway... It didn't work out well. You get what you pay for. :P
