I've always loved that lip. Very reminiscent of the TTE front lip on the 2GS.

Seems like there is a little bit of gap/fitment issue on the left side from those photos taken standing up.

Yeah looks really good!

Question1: I can't find the price on auto-couture.com although I did find the part under the Auto Couture Sport section. What did you pay?

Question2: Color matching, did Autocouture do it or an independent or Lex dealer?

Modular Society is a retailer for Autocouture, so id L-Tuned. I believe the better price would be at L-Tuned for around 500 or so. He didn't pay that much because it was used and broken in a few areas... he ended up with a killer deal. Also, he got an independent painter to fix/paint it... paint color is pretty close, I didn't look too hard but it wasn't off from what I recall.

Default Like the Lip.

Best looking lip that i have seen. Its a shame that you had to paint it would have looked sick with the carbon fiber look. But than you would have to continue the carbon fiber accessories for the car, that is why I am not going to do it.

The only piece is the on for the bottom of the door, under the chrome:

or the carbon fiber emblem:

I hate CF on luxury cars, some cars can pull it off but the 3GS is not one of them. When I see cars with CF hoods, lips, trunk, etc... its a BIG over kill. Looks really nasty... makes the car look cheap because the parts don't match (especially people who don't know anything about cars.)

the lip really has no fitment issue i made sure of that but the reason for the look of a gap in the picture is because of shadows.
