Default subtle front lip options?

I'm looking for a subtle lip to put on my 2006 IS350. My car is black and I'm not planning on putting on side skirts, or a rear lip, so I don't want something that is too big and chunky in the front. I don't care if its a replica lip as i'm only looking to spend around $150

I found the following ones on ebay, and by the looks of it they are the OEM GFX, Fabulous, and ISF? lip, but can someone correct me if I'm wrong.


OEM GFX replica?

Fabulous replica?

ISF replica?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-2007-20...06%26rk%3D1%26

Does anyone have pictures of these on a black car, or can know which would look best? And are there any other lip options that would be good for what I’m looking for?


Thanks

The "Fabulous replica" you linked to looks like an SE-Tuned front lip, while your IS-F replica is actually a Fabulous replica.

I think GFX is the most subtle lip out there, followed by Fabulous. Vertex isn't exactly subtle, but it's clean.

If you want subtle, go with GFX

I'd say GFX is the most subtle and it's still nice.

GFX is definitely the most subtle. maybe even a bit too subtle.

Thanks guys. I think I might go with the Fabulous replica or GFX. Even though i do want subtle, i don't want it to be too subtle. the fabulous seems a bit more aggressive than the GFX, but I think i read somewhere that they both sit about the same height, So i'm leaning towards GFX now.

does anyone know if i have to take of the oem lip that is on? or do these lips just go right over top the OEM?

I have another vote for the GFX. That's the front lip I have on my 350 and it looks clean and I get plenty of compliments on it.

For the GFX and Fab lip, you have to remove the OEM 2 piece front lip that came with your car when you purchased it. It should be around 7-9 screws, pretty simple to remove and switch.
