I was thinking you would go the black-out route and paint the lip gloss black! Its a good look in white though .... Did you have the lip paint matched or white plastidip?

Thanks! With this lip I think it looks better color matched. I've seen other white GS's with this lip black and didn't like it. I had it color matched.

I bought the bootleg polyurethane one from Amazon for $70. They look identical to yours but I'll wrap it gloss black and see how I like it.

I bought the L-Style lip off eBay and left it the matte finish it came in...before I put it on though, I bought white plasti dip, painted it but I didn't like how it looked (this lexon-style lip seemed to "wash-out" to me when matched). I think if you wrap the skipper-style lip you got in black it will look good...here's a pic of how mine turned out:

What grill and lip is that? That is not a F sport correct? I was looking for a decent mesh grill that is similar to the F sport for my GS

Nah, not an F-Sport (i have the premium pkg with the standard bumper/slat style original grills). The grille is the E&G Black Ice Mesh grille. The lip is the Lexon style (L-Style) replica lip from ebay seller BaysonR.

Thanks. The only L Style I saw on ebay says urethane and F Sport bumper only though.

There is A thread where several people fit this exact f sport lip to a non f sport bumper and the fit was good if I recall correctly

Here is the thread for you to read thru if interested. Honestly for 60 bux and some elbow grease I'd probably give it a try.

Thank you for the link, I'll check it out, $60 is a great price, since my car is black I won't have to paint it either.

Absolutely worth it! Quite a few members have pics up on that very thread showing how well this "F-Sport Only" lip actually fits the non F-sport bumper quite nicely. I actually paid a local shop a few bucks to have it installed (friends with the owner) when they did my inspection.

It took the dude a total of 8min to get the car on the lift, line up the lip, ask me if its good and then drill that sucker into the bumper. My inspection took longer lol

Just put a carbon copy of the stock spoiler on, wanted a GS F spoiler but can't talk myself into paying that much.
