Default Need advice - New front bumper

Alright, for those who don't know why I'm looking for one, go here;

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/nel...ease-help.html


I have roughly $500 to blow on a new front bumper. Looking for something sports like, yet classy and elegant. Looking to also get new pair of fog lights, so something that will do that as well.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

PS - Clear bra too?

Is that $500 with or without paint? Do you plan on adding the rest of a kit in the near future or will it be just a front bumper/lip with stock sides and rear?
To me, the only thing that flows well with stock sides and rear is the TTE lip. Anything more aggressive-lower than that really needs to have the rest of the car's lines lowered as well.

Definitely liking it. Is that just a lip? Or is that a whole bumper?

that particular wald kit is just a lip....i'm 99% sure. u can see the body lines where the lips meet the front/rear bumpers. ask gs300rich to chime in for 100% accuracy

U can see where the lip and bumper meets but only on the sides and when you look closely on the bottom grille of the stock bumper.
