I like it - and if it's released I might buy it for just that reason... 
All this stuff will soon be available through Carson. For now you can view the entire wheel lineup at www.fiveaxis.net.

Thanks for your replies
I think the lip sucks! 
Thanks guys for you opinions. Pricing is not set it stone and we will adjust it to market, so don't worry about it too much.
As for design, well we wanted to keep it looking "factory" clean since we are not making a side skirt or rear valance, as of now. This way, anyone can run it w/o any other addtions to the car and still have it appear like it belongs on the car.
We also took into consideration that an owner could still purchase the factory (yawn) sides and rear and our lip would look good w/ it as well. **just remember, if you ALREADY have the factory kit, you cannot remove the front and put ours on it!!! There will be some big @$$ holes in your bumper from the original install and unfortunately there is nothing you can do short of replacing the bumper or patching and repainting. This is the reason we do not require cutting holes to mount our front lip**
Making it too much lower would sacrifice ramp angle and since it is extended forward by 50mils, making it too low would cause driveway damage. We wanted to cater to all types of drivers assuming Lexus owners have graduated from the bumpy, slammed look and want some driveability to their cars.
Besides, remember you rarely see a car from the ground level aka "drunks eye level" so we really design our stuff to look good from as high as a standing eye level and as low as a sitting eye level...you know when you are in your car sitting a drooling a the car next to ya?!
Okay, keep the comments coming and we'll decide soon.
Hey fishnfool, you owe me $500!
Thanks!
