Default Lexus GS300 Front Lip Spoiler

What do you guys think of this front lip spoiler on the Gen2 GS300? I've been seeing it on ebay for a few months now. This is probably the nicest front lip I've seen yet on the GS. The only problem is the price. Has anyone seen something similar for a lot less money??

Carbongs, which front lip kit would you recommend? Any other kit I've seen just doesn't look right. I'm trying to keep the front of the car looking somewhat classy.

driving with those corner pieces will make going up and down inclines REALLY difficult. i have a tte lip and the car is lowered. for the most part, the bottom of the lip gets scraped on the sides because i go in at angles so i don't crush the front lip when i go straight in. if you had those corner pieces on your car, it doesn't look like you'd be able to go in at angles OR go straight in because the front sticks out too much.



just looking at the mod from a daily driver perspective.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Maybe I'll go with the TTE. Mr car is lowered too so ground clearance is a concern as well. I hate the GReddy! I've seen the TTE before, but it never did much for me. I guess it's the best alternative short of replacing the whole front bumper. Definitely not looking to do that.

TTE is probably your best bet if you want a front lip. Subtle, yet gives the front a "completed" look.

Yeah those are kinda..ehhhhh, I'd either go with greddy or TTE. There's a bunch of VIP lips if you like those.

Looks like a rip off of the Veilside Executive bumper. That's not really a lip kit, that's more of... garbage lol

I knew who design it, and when he showed me the drawing, I went " are you sure this will sale?? "
So he did make them afterall.
