I like how it looks on dark cars. Agree with the consensus though, de-sticker and it will look cleaner.

You can put some double sided tape on the contact surfaces to prevent scratches. I wonder what can be done if you get rock chips on that front lip...

The new lip looks nice, however people complaining about those little gaps that you can barely see, its not that big of a deal. I mean what kinda idiot is gona go up to your car and be like OMFG !! THE FITMENT IS NOT 100%!!! OMFG!

i didn't notice it until people started pointing it out. now that i look at the provided pics, despite the fact that the lip spoiler looks good on a dark-colored 2is, the gaps really stand out.

you could get away with gap issues on a honda, but not a lexus. in this case, it's the little (or not-so-little) things that matter.
