Lightbulb *ASKING FOR HELP!!* Lip Kits.... :-)

gonna make the plunge either this week or next week on a full lip kit.

Asking ALL the OGs and veterans in this forum, what should I purchase?

Material: ABS, PU, FIBERGLASS...others?


Looking for SIMPLE STYLE, nothing that takes away from the lines of our IS.

Links if possible.

Thanks!

I would say pu bro ... Fiber glass breaks and you are pretty low. But most authentic kits are fiberglass. But if you don't mind a rep pu for the win . Bad enough it's gonna get scratched up. No need to have a busted lip.

I have authentic sides and a rep front, if you dont drive your car too low or too often then I would get an authentic front lip as well (most are fiberglass)

Not intend to threadjack but my question is also related to body kits

Will a 2008-2010 body kit (rear lip and side skirts) fit a 2011-2012?

I know the body line on the rear bumper is more emphasized on the 2011-2012 model years. Will that be a problem with fitment?
