What year is your car? Different lips are available for different years

Enjoy

Ngolimitz -- For a little more you could buy an authentic one on the classifieds and you won't be supporting a bad industry!

jbone -- Kind of depends on your budget what kind of lip you're looking for. Luckly since you have an 07, you have lots of lip choices to choose from Also depends on what kind of look you're going for... the thread bob4256 posted up is a wonderful resource to start with!

My faves are the vertex, fabulous, wald, and JP Visage. It all depends how aggressive you want your front end of the IS to look. Please take into account that once you purchase a front lip, you might want to get some side skirts as well so that the lines flow better. The link provided is a great start. Good luck.

There are tons of polyurethane front lips on ebay for $90-$130. Just search IS350 front lip and look at the options... there are tons!

I like the GFX, but you have to drill into your bumper for the install. Has anyone tried it with just 3M tape?

Are you referring to the gfx front lip or gfx rear lip. The front gfx you don't have to drill, the holes for screws are already present.

The gfx rear lip can be installed with just 3m tape. Mine has been installed for 3+ years and I have had no serious problems yet. It has withstood rain, sun, and many car washes without an issue. Only now has one side of the gfx rear lip has started to come undone and needs to be reprinted.

Thanks for the info! I didn't want to drill into my bumpers but now I can pick up some knock offs if I can't find any actual real ones.

Recently bought a vertex replica off of eBay 120$ shipped I thought why not check out the fitment since its so cheap anyways. Fitment was 95% got it painted and installed and looks awsome. GFX was my second choice just think its more of a conservative look
