The ones I got from Autotecknic's was CF over ABS but I screwed them up trying to modify them somewhat so I bought a second pair that are finished top and bottom which I like a lot. They had to be shipped from either Japan or Korea but can't remember too many of the details as it was about a year ago. I do know that the first set I paid about $100 for and the second was near $190. If you go with the lessor of the two, I found out if you do a search on ebay, you can save some money by asking someone on here to measure them for you and do searches for the same dimensions. I bought mine from a page saying they fit a Honda Civic. Same exact splitter, same company but the marketing has them priced differently compared to the vehicle searched. I noticed a $40 swing so again, this is a "universal" splitter so as long as you look in the description and it looks the same, do some checking as they charge more knowing you have a higher priced car.

I got mine from auto technik and they are ABS with overlay. I wasn't aware of a full CF version! I would have gotten that one instead. I think the key to making it look good is to not have it stick out so much... I like it better when it's almost flush with the bumper, but that's just my taste.

With that said, mine is holding up very well even after 3 years. No problems at all. I scraped the edges a bit, but it's on fine. It's a matter of installing it properly.

Here are a couple of pix:

I agree, you have them exactly the way I had mine and feel that looks the best as well. Looks great.

Wow, I'm glad I saw this thread. I was going to have a friend of a friend of my who owns a shop that might be able to make a Mold of the LEMS front splitter. But with this I can achieve almost the same look at a fraction of the cost.

I'm just glad there is a low cost replacement that can almost achieve the same look.

It fits any car (brand or model). It wasn't developed for Lexus, I've seen it on BMWs, Nissans, etc.

@LiLS: I also ordered mine from AutoTeknic. I got the ABS plastic with the CF overlay.
What shop? Think I want to take it to them as well.
