Default We need more front lip designs

Between now and Christmas
The Lexon is nice seeing several ISF on the board with it. Need something different and aggressive. IMO the Wald is just too much.

Btw thanks Luis @ Carson for shipping my joez exhaust, it's coming in tomorrow woot woot!!

I do like the CF Lexon lip, which I may be getting. But they are so damn expensive. Even for the non CF ones. I'm already scraping here and there being so low on coils, paying a grand when all is said and done for a lip that will eventually just get beat to hell, is tough to fathom. But yes, bring on the front lips.

totally agree, $1000 for a front lip is ridiculous expensive, especially when it is not even made of polyurethane!!! Imagine cracking your front lip the first 2 hours of putting it on going up your own driveway.......

we need whole body kits in my opinion. I like most rear lips for the is250 is350, they need to start making sideskirts and rear lips for our cars. come on powerhouse amuse!!!

the wald kit is a bit much in the front, but something to that effect. the lexon front lip looks incredible, but if the F is already lowered it would just scrape it to a large degree. there needs to be more manufacturers who will make the F stand out even more so that it already does

Let's say priced in 500-600 range. Would you rather it be made of fiberglass or abs?

I got the Auto Couture from VIP and will install this week. First choice was the Lexon CF but I heard the lexon sits too low. The auto couture is closer to stock height. Hopefully I can make it up my driveway after the install.

The splitter on the Viper is $20k. My friend has one...I'm not dropping $20k for an IS-F splitter though.

I think I'd like either as long as it won't get easily chipped or shattered. Not too likely with FG though.
