And on top of that, modern enthusiasts like ourselves, still have a demand for these lips...That's why they're at a premium.

Well, there's my answer, thanks

I've been looking for a front lip for my 93 SC. It's ridiculous how expensive they are!

I remember when lips used to be $50 to $75. They are just getting to be ridiculously expensive.

I have noticed that they are getting expensive, but thats the price you pay when you drive a Lexus. I am seriously thinking of making me one, I have a slight curve in mine that I would like to see gone.
