Found this car for sale and thinking about purchasing it. Does anyone know what front lip this is? After looking at some threads here on clublexus all I was able to compare it to was the skipper design front lip... Any feedback? Also of anyone knows the previous owner of this car please chime in. Thank you

It's an aftermarket skipper lip or as they call it sk style.

Peasodos... thanks for the input, I appreciate it. Now looking for the possible (previous/builder) owner of this car as I would like to ask them some questions/see if they would give me some info about the car. I e.. mods, maintainance, any issues etc. The car is selling in the Orlando fl area. If anyone knows this previous owner or you are them please chime in. Thanks to all!!

Definitely aftermarket wheels (look like 20" wheels). Also has that concave rear wheel so I'd be mindful of suspension components that may have been modified (wheels/tires/springs/spacers) to accommodate the wheels. Good luck - its a beautiful silver bullet!

Looks like a painted eBay lip.

After browsing on eBay this does seem to be an aftermarket sk style lip. Does anyone seem to know which are the better fit, stronger etc? What are people's preferences? There seems to be different prices on eBay for the sk style lip, just wanted to know which seem better.
And still nobody recognizes this car or knows the owner? Thanks all who chimed in for the help and info

I have the eBay seller Bayson R's Lexon-style lip. I like how subtle the L-style lip is but other folks prefer the Skipper style - just depends on your personal tastes. I'd say its 50/50 on the forum between these two styles. The polyurethane material is flexible and has held up very well over the last few years.

Go with either one of these:

+1 for the L-style lip, it looks better than the snow plow looking sk-lip.
