I'm interested in this lip as well. I snapped the Ventross front lip in half on the freeway last night. I hit a piece of shredded tire.. sadness ensues.

Please keep us updated Joe Z. I've gotten so used to the front lip on my car, it looks weird to me with out one.

haha I asked last year around nov-dec with Troy...and the price for the dry carbon front lip was $2500-$3000... They have it made locally at a shop that does dry carbon work for f1 racing cars...

Yes AGREED, similiar to what AC Scnitzer did for the BMW M3 CF lip!

I'm actually thinking if grafting the flippers from the BMW lip onto the Lexon or other aftermarket lip for the IS-F would work?

its great to hear that finally IS F owners have some customization options that will be available soon. whether cosmetic or aerodynamic purposes, modding certainly makes a car that much more unique. and as always, please post pics!

ExclusivIS: Be patient, I have a new front lip and rear diffuser look in the works

Seems most vendors here either go for "too subtle" or "way over the top" looks and neither fits my taste.

A good body kit should accentuate the car but not scream look at me I'm a ricer! I think lexus tuners should take a good look at two famous BMW tuners (AC Schnitzer and Hamann) as both seem to understand what buyers want.

In addition to the front lip, I'm sure some of us, if not all, would like to see different side skirts besides Branew. I just hope we get some varieties to choose from in the near future.

The lip posted above is almost exactly like the ABS one I fabricated myself - concept is really the same - use plastic to create a "flipper" style lip that is both inexpensive and cheap to replace.

They act as a layer of protection for the actual bumper on any scrapes. I crafted my template from 3/8" ABS and then had it sanded down. The ones above I found from a local vendor that we deal with however it's definitely not as robust. Only time will tell how these hold up

Clean and simple!
