Ebay WD Style Lip Installed on my IS350
Painted and installed. I'll take some better pictures with a real camera someday soon.
Fitment was perfect before the body shop installed it - they put the tape everywhere except where I told them to, so I'll also be pulling it off and re-sticking it; hopefully tonight.

Well, I'm at it again... I just rolled 100k miles, so I'm getting bored with the car so I just ordered 20" concave wheels (AXE EX18), and the IKON Esprit bumper conversion to match my updated headlights... I'll be sure to post pics soon...

fitment is 8/10, finish 8/10 - I took some work to get it on, and there are some minor issues that I can deal with. I cracked a small corner around the headlight because it’s been hit in a parking lot and the headlight bracket is slightly off, making the first fit very tight - the bend on the bracket is so minor I forgot about it. There is also a small gap on the sides of the hood, but again - my hood was a little bent and had been repaired so I’m not sure if it would be better with a perfect hood. Once I get it all painted I’ll drill and install a new rubber gasket that should hide it all. After paint, I honestly don’t think anyone other than me will ever notice the flaws... overall it looks pretty amazing.
I most likely will I’ll have to roll and pull the rear fenders to fit the rear 20x10.5” +42 wheels, but it should look great. I only went with 20” because they were about $1000 cheaper with decent tires.

Wheels & Tires came in! Fit is perfectly flush, no rubbing (ran through the paces), no fender rolling needed after all. 245/30/20 +38 up front, 275/30/20 +42 in the rear. Paint next week on the front end!

yeah - the lip is very square and the reflection makes it look odd. They aren’t really stretched, but the tires do flex a little - braking hard into a corner doing 140 on the interstate was a little dicey (no other cars for miles, just pushing it a little). I honestly can’t tell if it’s the added weight that throws it off or the tires though.
