Default Where did you purchase your front lip and what do you have?

I've read through all 13 pages of the modifications sticky at the top of this forum, and it seems front lip options are rather limited for the IS-F. I'm partial to the Lexon front lip, but I'm open to other suggestions.

Almost as important as what you have is where you got it. I've browsed through both the vendor marketplace and the classified section, but I can't seem to find anything available. If any vendors are reading this and have front lips in stock or can get them quickly, or if any owners are looking to sell let me know. If you have a lip already painted Obsidian and are willing to ship, I've got cash in hand.

Pics would be helpful too. Thanks in advance.

This is gonna be an interesting thread cause im shopping around for a front lip too... This one caught my interest and its fairly cheap. Judging by the moster speed bumps they have in my subdivision and not to mention the crappy roads on Guam... I wouldnt feel so bad if I accidently scrapped it...



Looks to be a Ventross replica minus the carbon fiber
Its an Extreme Dimensions/ AeroFunction IS-F front lip and they also have a Rear Difusser/Add on to match... Hmm that looks exactly like the Ventross Rear... So im pretty sure these are Reps or Ventross sold their design to them??? Theres a Vendor on here that sells Extreme Dimensions products.

GL with your search bro!

ArKym I like it but it's not for a car that's much lower than just being on springs it sits low

Correct... but hopefully for the non-is-f fellows.

I think the sites have the wrong listing for the front lip or using the wrong picture for their product? It says its for the IS model, but doesnt specify which model and then it shows a pic of the lip installed on an IS-F... confused ?

I was reading through the VIP vendor threads and it appears some guys had some trouble getting their parts in a timely manner, and a bunch ended up getting refunded after months of waiting. I'd prefer not to deal with that... though if someone from VIP is reading this and can tell me what they have in stock or what they did to remedy the issue, I'll listen.

Looks great man. So did you order it from them, or do you live close enough to pick it up? Was there a wait time?

I also got the Lexon front lip. Mines was not CF though as I would have to wait a bit longer for it. I got mines from Clark at VIP. I did had to wait for it to come from Japan, other then that everything went smoothly. This was before the earthquake/tsunami. I'm starting to like the CF grille but will wait for a actual USB to put it on to see if it looks good.

Aero Function is its own line. We just distribute and stock their products. So we are able to offer the same discounts and incentives as when you purchase one our Extreme Dimensions products.

All Aero Function parts have a fitment guarantee or 100% of your money back. So not only do you have that peace of mind, but forum members get the lowest price possible. Yes, even better than eBay pricing. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any questions or are looking for a quote. Thank you!
