Smile $10 eBay Fake Carbon Fiber Front Lip Install

Hey guys! I recently installed a fake carbon fiber front lip I got off eBay for $10 on my Lexus RC and I thought I'd share the process & results with other RC owners.
**I AM NOT INSTALLING THIS FOR LOOKS** but rather I am planning to get a legit front splitter soon and I'm testing how much I scrape with a front lip.

I appreciate any feedback & support on my video and if you like it, I make car videos about my Lexus on my channel so check it out and subscribe!

Smile $10 eBay Carbon Fiber Front Lip Install

Hey guys! I recently installed a fake carbon fiber front lip I got off eBay for $10 on my Lexus RC and I thought I'd share the process & results with Lexus IS owners.

**I AM NOT INSTALLING THIS FOR LOOKS** but rather I am planning to get a legit front splitter soon and I'm testing how much I scrape with a front lip. The quality is similar to the All-Fit lip brand (stronger than the EZ lip brand in my opinion) and the finish is glossy and textured.

I appreciate any feedback & support on my video and if you like it, I make car videos about my Lexus on my channel so check it out and subscribe!

That looks great. $10 is pretty good too.

This is not IS related. Keep it in the RC portion of the forum

Sorry, I was hoping to promote my channel to fellow Lexus owners but Ive installed a similar lip like this one (the EZ lip) on my 2016 Lexus IS and it fits nicely (better and easier than the RC). I'll keep videos of my RC in the RC forum in the future

Thank you! Can't wait to get a real front splitter though.

It's wrapped with fake 3D carbon fibre and is an EZ lip / all-fit lip style front lip. I put this post here to share my results because I know many Lexus IS owners either have used this lip before or have looked into the lip.

Check out all-fit lips as well. I get a lot of compliments on mine and they really do hold up well. Their site advertises they can be wrapped in carbon fiber too but I dont know about that..

I've heard great things about the brand and i'll definitely check it out. If I end up testing one out I'll be sure to make a video on it as well!
