Quick note that those "OEM" front lips that Sewell sells are NOT OEM but aftermarket produced.. and in breakable ABS.

$100 PU rep > $200+ ABS Sewell

Really? I didn't know that because I went to the local Lexus dealer and saw a complete 2012 F-sport IS 350 on display, those lips are already on it. So they buy aftermarket stuff and put them on the brand new 2012 IS350? Wow that's something!

That's an F-Sport with a factory F-Sport bumper. I'm talking specifically about the add-on front lips that Sewell sells for the ISX50.

So since mine is a complete F-sport front bumper upgrade, they are genuine but if I order them separately, it's an aftermarket stuff even though it's from the same Lexus dealer i.e. Sewell?
Are we talking about the same thing here? I don't believe these are the GFX, they are specially for the F-sport front bumper only.

Oh, that's what I thought because I was replying to Snow:
The upgrade looks really nice. However, I always had a question lingering around my head a few months back and now. But I remember Sewell sold a F-Sport bumper part that you can attach to your current ISX50 and it will make it look like an F-Sport bumper minus the grille, etc. But it was only going for like $350, of course now it's gone on the website but I always thought that was a better deal than a complete F-Sport bumper? Correct me someone if I'm lost or clueless.

Here, I photoshopped the pictures to clarify things up.
Lol, I was referring to these things. I'm not sure which you guys are referring to. (Maybe the GFX lip kit from Sewell?) But yeah, Sewell used to sell these for like $350 painted I believe. So my original question was.. why buy the whole $1,800 F-Sport bumper when you could have bought these side lips? And bought top & bottom F-Sport grilles to complete your F-Sport look for a fraction of the cost?

Well, yes that's what I meant, those are the front lip spoilers, $230.54+ shipping from Sewell. They only show them in the exterior of 2011, 12 accessories on their website. If you order the 2011, 12 F-sport front bumper upgrade, they are included. They are still selling those separately. Yes, if you already have the bumper and grilles, that's all you need to bring it up to the look of the F-Sport no need for the whole thing.

A lot of us buying the full bumper are coming from earlier models (06-09?)

Hmmm... So another question pops into mind. Do you need a specific year bumper before being able to use the F-Sport lip spoilers? (i.e. Can I use a 2007 original bumper and adding the lip spoilers to make it turn into an F-Sport 2012 bumper, minus the grilles?)

Actually yes, I directed a guy to order those a short while back, can't remember the thread now. Did you look it up in Sewell website?

Just to clarify, 2006-08 have to go with the whole 2011-12 F-sport front bumper upgrade, can't just use the front lip spoilers, the bumper is of different configuration. Not sure about 09-10.

The gfx lip i bought from sewell a couple years ago was the real deal. A tire smashed into my old bumper w/lip and the lip didnt break. Also has the toyota/lexus stamping.
