Me too!! Does Autoconture make a simple clean lip for the 08+? If anyone has link or model # that would be cool.

lip kits made for 2006-2007 model year do not fit 2008+. this is because the front bumper (among other things) was updated for the 2008+ model year. there's only a few lip kits that fit the 08+ GS. you'll have better choices if you went with a full bumper replacement (but cost way more money too).

afaik, autoculture does not make a lip kit for the 08+ GS.

BOTH front and rear bumpers are different between 06-07 and 08+, so lip kits will not fit
