I believe my ad is still up (need to take it down) but its fiberglass, I don't think "many" things come out of japan in urethane form.

yes, well worth it! it actually costs close to $1000 USD shipped... that is... if you can find someone to bring it in for you.

Agreed!! What people on this board don't seem to understand is it doesn't only go by weight it also goes by dimensions and the type of shipping services you use from Japan.

well, I know it's not a lip kit, but if the Auto Couture Kit if fiberglass, then it can go the way of the DoDO too...

is it fiberglass?

cause it's the only real kit I wanted....

that or MAYBE the Kaminari lip.... MAYBE

the erebuni front is not identical to the wise sports front. the erebuni is a copy of a different japanese kit.

Default wisesports front lip

I bought the wisesports front lip that was for sale on this website(unless there were two). It was installed today and really looks great. It is well worth the 500 I paid. However, spending 1000 to get one from Japan may be too much for most people. Here's another suggestion. Before I saw the thread advertizing the wisesports, I ordered a 97-2000 front facia conversion from my local dearlerhip. The total price for everything was 577. That's the wholsale price usually given to bodyshop owners. If you can't talk your dealership into that price, go to the lexuspros.com website, get the number and call them. Their price was almost identical.
While you're at it, you might want to put on the complete conversion kit. The total price for everything was 1300. That's front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper, quarter panel extensions, front grill, fog lights, and the foam that goes underneath the bumpers. My 97 side skirts match the wisesports lip but a part of me wishes I had stuck with my original plan.

Good luck.

Doubtful theres two forsale, lol But I'm glad you liked the lip. Got it on quicker than I probably would have. I still have a doluck rear wing to put on, lol. Get some pics of it if you can I'm eager to see it on.
