Default What Do You Think of this Lip on Ebay???

I have a black IS350 and wondered about this lip on Ebay. I'm looking for a lip that does not stick out too much on all fronts, something real subtle when it comes to shape. I don't like the way the GFX lip protrudes out on the sides. I am not looking for anything aggressive looking, just something to add some fullness to the front but not stick out too much on any of the angles. I'm not sure about about the carbon fiber and how it would look.

I plan to drop 1", rear spoiler, and lip. That's it for exterior add-ons. What do you guys think? Is carbon fiber look corny??? Does anybody have something like this on a black car?

I had my eye on that lip also, but I am worry about the fitment, did you see the other seller selling the similar CF lip on white IS. When you look closely on the side, the lip don't fit nicely.

Yeah I saw that too. the fitment was horrible. looked a Civic with a cheap body kit. I'm concerned about that as well. I emailed the seller and asked him if had more pics of this lip on actual cars at different anlges. Hopefully he responds.

Yes, my car is black. What do you think? Does it look too loud and flashy to have a carbon fiber type lip? It's upfront and low, so it doesn't stand out much. I'm not looking for the racer aggressive look. I'm concerned carbon fiber will make the car look like a droning Honda, no offense.

Is that the same lip? If so, I'll pass. It sticks out on the sides way too much. I'm not feeling it. Thanks

It does look like the same lip....funny how many liked it in that thread and no longer like it in this thread because its from eBay??

I would pay to put the Fab front lip and my F front lip next to each other and have anyone on here tell me the difference and pick out the real deal!! This stuff cracks me up...My CF Fab rears fit and look the same as the rep front lip I have?!?!?! wonder how this can be

If you like the look then go for it. I have purchased many kits off ebay on previous car and the fits was just as it would be from OEM. My friend started to use these on new cars instead of the OEM at the car dealer.

Half of these parts you have NO clue where they "truly" come from...may be the same part that others are using. They just don't have the overhead and many other things to go along with the cost.

You will be happy with it. I like how it looks on the other members car!

The lip looks nice, but with that being said i can guarentee that the fitment is going to SUCK cuz its a cheap replica. If ur worried about the fitment you can always do what I did with my INGS kit and get it moulded to the car, it eliminates all fitment issues n makes it look like its part of the body
