Default Five:AD Lip Rep , finally

Just found this by accident. Finally a Five:AD rep. Anyone tried this yet? Fitment?

That's a little pricey for a rep..just get the real one for not much more..and guaranteed fitment..

Are there places that still sell them? Last I recall, Five Axis stopped making them a few years ago and most of the vendors ran out of whatever remaining stock they had (even if it's still listed on their websites). I would be enamored if Five Axis was making them again.

I bought the replica before i bought the authentic, and it did not fit. contacted the seller, and after major fitment problems on ALL THREE lips, i got a refund and put up the extra money for the real thing, which had perfect fitment.

Lextuner managed to communicate with them to start manufacturing it again due to large demands for it from clublexus. However when lextuner got them to start it up again, many members backed out even though they said they're 100% down for one. I remember seeing lextuner gave an awesome deal on it possibly due to large inventory that's going nowhere. This all happened end of last year. However lextuner's website is "under construction" for the past couple months. Have a feeling they're not coming back

Why not spend a little extra money to get the real thing, with perfect fitment, instead of supporting the thieves that stole this design from a company that has been very supportive of the Lexus community?

I would have to agree with everyone. Buy the authentic lip and skip the knock off. Fitment seems to be an issue with the rep. Not worth the $$$.

Yeah that's definitely too much for a replica lip. Might as well get the real thing. You'll likely be throwing more money to the body shop to make it fit then if you had just bought the real thing in the first place anyways!
