Sorry to say this, but those two lips doesnt fit on the 2009, l-tuned should fix their website.

Check Links of Bodykits, the 2009 kits are in post #4.

There's a Lexon front lip made for the 2009+ only, it looks different than 06-08.

The l-tuned link you posted was the 06-08.

The 2009 model have a new refreshed front bumper. Slightly different though.

They look different. Also if you realize, the 2006-2008 has a lip that makes the car look normal, which you should remove when an aftermarket lip is installed. The 2009 looks normal without the lip.

I'm pretty sure you can rig a 06-08 lip on the 09 IF it doesn't wrap around the bumper/grille/fog area. If I wasn't waiting for the 09 vertex I'd try the pre 09 Lexon lip.

Personally, the OEM front lip is much much cheaper option and looks just as attractive.

Use Coupon Code and you are much cheaper than both front lips.

the 09 wont fit 06-08 lips because if you take out the 06-08 lip it leaves grooves for the aftermarket lip to fit into and bolt onto. without that groove what is the lip going to fit on? the 09 is now just 1 bumper and thats why
