Default LS460 Front lip only

All,

Ive just won a 2009 LS460L with 60k, at an auction, with very minimal damage to the front. Ill need to replace bumper cover, grill, hood and lights. Im pretty stoked about it.

The LS460 looks sort of unbalanced with the sides and the rear, and a higher front end. I've searched and search but Im looking for a picture with someone thats only added a front lip to sort of balance it out. I dont want a full kit, just not my thing. Just the front. Any tips, or pictures?

As for grill. While getting front end painted, I plan on doing similar style, a user here did. This is plastidip but of course ill be painting it. I also noticed on here, someone else had their bumper painted but had them paint his grill as well, but he painted the chrome grill housing. I like that chrome accent and plan on keeping it.

I have a brand new untouched 10' Wald Ls600h 1/2 bumper.. all you'd need is a front bumper ($300) & foglights.. there will be a 1/4" gap under the headlights... but any good bodyshop can fill it in...

Prob going to get flamed for such blasphemy, why not add side skirts to complete the front and rear?

Because the oem side skirts already appear to be lower than the front and rear without the lip kit when looking from the side.. The lip kit in my opinion finishes and evens out the look. And the vertex kit does not come with side skirts by design. Have you seen the side profile pic with the lip kit installed? It may make more sense when you see it in my pics.
