That looks to be super expensive, with zero effect on performance lol

Or it could be rather inexpensive and add a bit of downforce!

I expect it to be 30x more than the Lexon lip for the IS

Yeah exactly, who would pay 700ish for a lip for a supercar?

nice looking lip. but it's a big slap to the face to toyota for all the millions of dollars in R&D on aerodynamics.

I always thought that to make an aftermarket part you'd need to have the car. So that you could measure things and then test fit the final product. I wonder where they got the LFA?

being a collector's car

While I tend to agree, (I would want to only buy an unmolested version of a collector car) tons of other aftermarket tuner's make lip kits for collector cars like the Veyron, they tend to make them "special edition" cars however to keep the value or exclusivity or whatever.
