So what lips are made for the 2010s??

Sorry for the threadJack.
There's a GFX front lip for the '09+ 2IS. Check Sewell, I saw it there just last night.

the 5 axis looks sweet. if you're worried about ground clearance, especially on stuff like speed bumps and dips, definitely go with 5 axis. the others, though sexy as well, would be scraped badly. and it'd be a shame to choose another CF lip and have it scrape as well.

Dealership will only install the GFX lip, so we're going to have them install it. Thanks all for all the replies! They'll be drilling holes too.
Oh well, I'll stick with it, more oem!

Really man, it's easy. This is coming from a guy who's only past mod was an intake filter, and even then I had a professional (friend) helping me out. All you have to do to install it yourself is rip off the metal brackets (they're only adhered and snap right off), loosen maybe 2 bolts with a socket wrench and pop it into place.

^^^ +1 Jeff. The GFX lip is very easy to install. You really can do this yourself and like others have said you don't need to drill holes into your car. Don't let them do that!! It bolts on easily and the sides have double sided tape & is very secure. I kept my GFX just in case my CF Fab ever gets damaged. Is yours destroyed or can it be repaired?
