Its called a "front lip" or front lip spoiler. Cant find them to buy cuz most people arent parting with them or they are expensive. Try the classifieds section on here for SC400/300 some have been unloading them recently. Can be expensive if they are complete.

Default Front lip

I bought one on e-bay, paid about $ 75. If you're patient, they do show up.

I've heard people call them chin spoilers as well, so keep an eye out for that as well.

I still don't know why the STOCK lips command such a high price. It's right up there with the control valve on the PS pump ($460) in lunacy.

Simple equation my friend...

Low build durability + Common "In-stock" dealer part + (Therefore) High Demand = (So...) High $$$

On the part of the control valve that is...

I still don't understand why the SC400 lip is more expensive than a '97+ front bumper.
