Nope. You install the Wald front lip over your OEM one. The only front lips I know of that are direct OEM replacements are GFX, Fabulous, Vertex and TOM'S.

Here's a thread on "Which 2IS front lips use the OEM tabs/screws?:" https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...bs-screws.html

^^^What brociouz said! I have a Wald front rep, my stock lip was slightly bent from being rubbed, not as bad as OP's. But the body shop fitted it up and you can't even see the stock front lip with the Wald over it. Good luck!

Told my wife the same thing, she didn't think it was funny when I told her I was looking for a 32 year old blond with bigger bolt-ons than she has to replace her

Not a sad day at all because I have for you my friend a Matador Red OEM front lip for 06-08 ISx50's. Just sitting in my garage that you can have for free if you want. Or use your broken lip as an excuse to upgrade

Nothin wrong with reps as long as it fits right, looks good, and you're satisfied. I bought a rep wald spoiler molded it and it looks just as good as the real!

Rep > authentic when it comes to lip kits so long as they fit well. This isn't my opinion it's fact. Makes no sense to spend the extra money for something that will get scratched up next month.

Some people have a moral problem with the theft of intellectual property so I don't know about fake > real being a "fact."

I'm in Rowland Heights. This leftover lip is from my cousin's IS350 lease return that he retuned with the GFX front lip due to holes in the bumper. Pm me.
