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'm using pu right. Now it's pretty flexible. Just in Case you bottom out. Like mine.. What line of wheels are those and price?

definitely get pu especially since you're low unless you really want a legit fiberglass one

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?

Yes it'll fit.
