I feel you, I'm in the boat, there is very few things for the non f sport.
I wish there were more options to personalize these cars.

Welcome aboard. Here are the only 2 front lips I'm aware of. And 3rd one are the side splitters.

NIA Front Lip

Ebay side splitter

Literally 3 options I've come across. Maybe there are more.

Thanks, I've seen those but not many more options.

Found another potential front lip to add to the options for base or non F-Sport models.

It's a universal sold by Ikon but I found images of it on a 3IS. At least in the pictures, I think it looks pretty good.



Heres the link to where they're still selling it. Never mind that it's for "BMW" I contacted them and they said it's the same one as in thes pictures.

Ikon Motorsports via Walmart.com





Here's another thread with other options since I'm looking at it.

I would just go with the NIA Auto Designs lip.

It's wishful thinking that an eBay lip will fit right, plus cheap -stuff- does't belong on a Lexus.

I agree with you generally speaking but we have such few options on this model thought I'd add here so we can relocate options later.

Here's my thoughts on why it's a potential option...

It's Polyurethane and if the correct size as shown I think it can be done to look good and give the otherwise more blan front end a nice appeal. I don't know that simply bolting this flat onto the underside of the bumper would be the way to go, would have to play around with it first.

$105 for lip +$25 materials to vinyl wrap. Maybe +$10 on hardware or additional fitting materials.
Return if doesn't fit after sizing up first. I have a roof spoiler from same seller I got painted but ended up wrapping, piece is good of quality as it needs to be.

Then also, could be a crap idea, lol.

$450 for NIA ($585 painted) or +$25 materials to vinyl wrap.

Although, if I still had a car budget (recently don't so why I'm interested ) the NIA is certainly preferred, they did a good job, at over 4x cost though.
