I noticed your update after install. Did you end up going the metal plate route?

I am planning on the Prussian Blue lip but it's gonna be a while between the wait time and then getting it painted. I ended up ordering the Autoteknics today since they are so inexpensive.
Figured I would try them for now and have them for a rainy day if they dont rip off!
Hey maybe I'll like them enough to hold off on a lip I really prefer the look of a lip.

Nope no metal plate. I think as of now with all the test drives already done around, you can kinda copy my way of screwing the lip onto the bumper but also add washers to it too since the other guys had success with it as well. Extra metal plate here and there would be nice to re-enforce the structural integrity if you don't mind the extra work.

If you still have them and want to sell them let me know, I'm interested.

^^^ I've had this set in its box for at least 2 years, but now that everyone is getting them I'm thinking about installing them. If I end up changing my mind I'll let you know.

Are there any other CF splitters out there besides the one from autotecknic?

I do like this set up....very clean, and understated. I'm wondering what the functionality aspect is in regards to how far they stick out? If you mount them too far in and flush with the front bumper, the splitters aren't really doing anything.

Auto Tecknic does a couple other things for Lexus as well (trunk spoiler etc.).

I bought these off of Ebay and they are finished on both sides and sturdy as they come.

I agree.....these splitters do look good.

Do you have a link for where you purchased these on ebay?

These look very similar to your setup. Are they the same ones? Hopefully this will help out for COOLIEBUOY if they are
