I got my replacement LX mode front lip today. I will post pics when I am done the install. I had to pay another $100 in cross border fees. I hope Carson will reinburse me for that since it was LX mode's fault.

Wow, $100 for cross border fees? Sorry to hear that. Pics would be great especially w/those phat Amistad Type R's! BTW, time to update your sig now!

Here you go guys.
Sorry about the crappy indoor photos. I tried enhancing them a bit. It's been raining here for a couple of days now. Will take better pics as soon as I can.

Looks good! Any additional advice besides the info given by GEE-BEE for install? I'm asking b/c hopefully I'll get his when the Tom's stuff comes in.

Holy smokes! Looks awesome! I am amazed at how much I like it!

The 2006's look nice when done up, and btw, LOVE your wheels. Excellent choice.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys.

As for tips its very easy as GEE BEE explained. the only addition is a blanket on the floor under the bumper so you can set the lip down without scratching the under side on the floor. Believe me when you see the finish on this thing you won't want any defects. The fit and finish looks like it is a factory installed part of the bumper and the paint quality is better than the car's paint (no orange peel)

Thx for the advice! So did Carson Toyota paint it or did Lx-Mode paint it in Japan? You've noticed orange peel on your car already?

LX mode painted it, and all Lexus' have orange peel. Actually all cars have orange peel. My black 06 ML has quite a bit. Some colors expose it more than others. You just have to look at them under the right lighting and at the right angle.

I can't upload to the gallery for some reason? When I hit the upload/submit button after several minutes it just goes to a blank screen and that's it. So I have had to just add them to my post from my pictures folder. It only allows 100kb and my camera is pretty high resolution.

You probably need to resize your pics.
Also, it will make your life a lot easier uploading your pics to http://photobucket.com/.
