Default Is it really impossible to find an OEM front lip?

I've looked absolutely everywhere.... junk yards, craigslist, ebay, websites.

No luck whatsoever.

Anyone have any suggestions?

How much does a brand new one from toyota or lexus cost anyways?

I pulled one off two different SC's at a salvage yard and talked them down to about $75 because some of the metal supports were bent. I think finding a yard with a few SC sitting there is key, as is pulling the stuff yourself to make sure you pocket the array of supporting screws and clips needed. Getting this shipped to you by someone who has done this is going to cost you a great deal more and that's what you're running into. There a many SC's on the road in Northern California and many donor cars here.

Hey LukeDog, what the hell is going on in that video clip and why is there no apparent body damage?
