Default Need advice on Replica GFX Front.
I've been looking around to find a used OEM GFX front lip for my 08 2IS but i havent had much luck. I came across this on ebay and it's very tempting. Wanted to see if anyone has tried this lip before and if its been a success for them. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

I can tell you not one picture is probably his. i even looked through pics i took back in 06 of the blue IS350 i took at the Detroit Auto Show to make sure he didn't steal mine.

It's cheap just grab it. PU can be heated and fitted. Worst comes to worst you save 300 bucks and the lip still looks nice. My REAL gfx lip doesn't sit perfect either, there is a really tiny gap on my driver side.

I bought my authentic gfx lip for $70 painted tungsten pearl and had it repainted along with some other body panels after an accident... Didnt know how much these things are worth now!!
