You guys will like the look...I am disappointed as I will not "look" as exclusive, but I am glad you will be getting one. Of course, I went further, and cut and molded mine to the factory lip, and it looks like it is OEM.

I am glad you posted on here Ryan and are at least somewhat fine with this decision. I do understand that this lip will no longer be as "exclusive" as it once was in the past, but I also think that for the most part we will not on a regular basis be seeing every SC we bump into on the road with a Big Win replica either.

IMO it is about time the SC community got what everyone on here truly wants at a more affordable rate and made from a better material as far as polyurethane vs fiberglass is concerned. It is truly hands down the best compliment to the 97+ SC/Soarer body.

Plus at least everyone on here will know and even everyone else on the planet that at the end of the day your SC will be the ultimate example of what this car was truly mean to look like from Lexus

It's definitely my favorite lip on the 97+ SC. As soon as I saw it back in 07 I knew I had to get it. Back then the price was $300 plus $100 shipping and I got it in 2 weeks. I don't really like to run replica parts on my car but it's just a lip so it's all good.

I agree with SC400TT about not being as exclusive but it was bound to happen sometime.

Shameed good to see you and glad you are on board with this

Honestly if it was still 400 shipped today I would have already bought it and this would most likely have not had to happen. I think this will only benefit the SC community in the long run and give those who truly want to make their SC look good that piece it is missing. Plus like you said it is just a lip, and to me, lips should not be close to 700 shipped.

They made a rep of the AC body kit so it was only a matter of time before they made a Big Win rep. Like all the rest of you I hope it turns out just as good as the original but in polyurethane form which will be the most beneficial for all of us.

I hope we get the same thing too horent135. I only hear good stories about the fitment of this lip and IMO there should not be any problem with achieving the same fitment with this replica as long as things are done properly, which I have been assured will get done

Will the lips come with pre-drilled holes? I'm just asking for convenience sake

What the timeframe on this? A buddy and I were actually about to put in an order for authentic lips, but we might be able to hold off for this.

I was hoping this was for the real Big Win. Isn't the title kinda misleading? Nobody actually knows how this replica will turn out yet.

I am also surprised at how many people would sign up for this not knowing fitment or quality of the lip....

Especially that it's been said these guys have a reputation for creating crap.

I hope none of these guys are disappointed.
