Default what lip is this?

Could someone tell me exactly what lip this is? At first I thought it was the Wald lip, but after careful inspection, you can see that they are not the same. This one is more flush w/ the front bumper and doesn't overlap like the Wald kit. I looked on memoryfab.com and several other sites but couldn't pinpoint the exact lip.

I don't think that is a lip kit but a full front bumper with the line on the bottom which is common in some of the designs.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing but I wasn't sure. My Auto Couture front bumper is like that. But, do you know what bumper it is then?

Well, if you look at the picture very closely, you can see that the line where the "lip" meets w/ the bumper looks more like a groove than a gap. When you put on a lip on, you will normally see a slight gap, but in the picture, it looks more like a groove, that's why it might be a whole front bumper and not just a lip kit. Anyways, I am not sure at all though, if anybody knows what lip or kit this is, please inform.

^Hey, I forgot you're on both forums too. So you're saying he took this lip:



And customized it to have a Wald-like groove on it?

Wald lip:

I'm no expert that looks very much like so. Looks like the molded the wald groove into that first lip. Even the "white" color paint is the same.

Did you guys go through the bodkit section in carson's website?

Yeah, I went through every single bodykit section I could find. Wald, Auto Couture, memoryfab, carson lexus, ect. I think it's custom, I just can't find the exact same kit. I do know that I'll probably be making one like this then.
