No, they're not OEM. I purchased them cheap from ebay just to try them out. I would safely say they are replicas. I am thinking of having them ceramic-coated black though to go with the all-black theme of the car.

I am actually looking at those LED tails in smoked. I've already switch to the smoked LED 3rd brake light (you can see that in the pics), so the taillights are next.

Front = 19x8.5, 49mm with 235/35-19
Rear = 19x10, 52mm with 275/30-19
no spacers front and rear.
Bilstein PSS9. Front lowered 1" from stock. Rear lowered by 0.75".

I would assume you are referring to the front lip. Yes, this is one of the better angles. You'll probably throw up if you see the other angles.

Thank you so much for this info. Can't wait to have this in my car. Time to break the piggy bank.

You're welcome! I've been breaking my piggy bank ever since I got my car!

jr1966, Your car looks really sweet, especially with the windows down (sorry, just being honest). Are you absolutely certain that you want to add the LED's? They look kinda cheap/Altezza-ish (unlike the 997 mk2).

Well, I like to play around a little bit. I don't intend to sell the OEMs, therefore, if I don't like the LEDs, I can always put the OEMs back on. Sometimes, pics don't do justice to a product, so, for me, there is nothing compared to actually seeing the product on the car before deciding if it looks good or not. This is sort of a gamble, a $500 gamble. If I don't like it, I do lose $500, but I can always sell the LEDs and the loss is less than that.
