Question OEM Sport Lip. Yes or No??

Sups Guy's! I was thinking of picking up the OEM Sport Bumper Lip for my G. But am torn with how it looks? What you guy's think? To me looks like the ends of the Lip stick out way too much? Never seen one in person, so that why I ask? I seen Pics, and some angles it looks good, from other angles just looks like the corners are way out? I dunno maybe just the angles? LOL.

Think I should get it? Or wait to see if 2010 comes out with a better one? And there's not too much choices for Sedan Lips. Only In Japan, but cost BIG $$$ to bring it in! Seen the 2010 G37 Sedan Lips, but looks like the Non Sport G37 Sedan, has a similar bumper to our Sports, but I see it has some diffrent shapes in the bumper, and don't think that Lip will fit our 07-09 Sport bumpers.

Maybe those who have the OEM Sport Lip, can post pics of like Straight top shots. of angles showing how much of the edge of the Lip really sticks out. If It's not too bad, I might pick one up this week! LMK guy's! Thnx

to be honest mike, if you are torn on how the lip looks, i wouldnt settle on it. i think if you wait long enough, there will be a lip out there that you will really like.

IMO, the lip looks good but not great so that's why when Auto-Kits develops their front lip for our sedans, im getting that one (based on their G37c lip) b/c it looks so much nicer than the OE lip.

the 2010 non-sport bumper looks pretty damn similar to our sport bumpers but idk if anyone knows the fitment quite yet. id probably wait for someone over @ riverside to do a test fitting for a 2010 non-sport lip on a 2007-2009 sport bumper.

I agree. It is not as ricey but to each his own. Those coupe rims look great on sedans.

I love my sport lip.
I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
IMO the journey lip sits too low. (especially with a drop)

I agree with you that the journey lip sits low..., but IMO looks damn good.
