Default 2018 IS 350 F Sport Front Splitters

Hi guys, I recently purchased the front splitters for my IS 350 F Sport.
I was wondering if any of you guys bought it from Ebay and how does it look on the car?
I was looking to install it myself but can't find any thread about it.
Any recommendations?
Thank you

Dry fit them before installing. You can use blue tape to use as a guide of where a certain point of the splitter is suppose to be so what you do is tape some parts of the splitter with blue tape so you can make marks on it. Align the splitter and once you think it's "fitted" put a piece of tape at 2-3 points on the bumper and make marks on the tape. The reason for the tape is that sometimes people would like to use some 3M tape and want to make sure it's in place again so using that method will help quickly align it back into position and mount it with 3M tape before putting screws. At least it's not a full splitter piece.

Also buy a right angle drill adapter, that makes life so much easier without having to jack up the car. Have a buddy help you.

I got the same splitter, the TRD style CB, I like the looks personally.

Just a heads up, mine was not drilled when received(from amazon, not sure about yours), the drilling points don't match the mounting points on the 18 model anyways...so I 3M taped them on, still holding on tight lol

Here are some pics:
