There is a lip from the factory that you can probably find on Ebay for the 09 non-sport bumper but it wont make it look like the sport bumper...the sport bumper from 09 has a different shape altogether...from your post you may have the sport bumper already if you say you have the "sport wheel pkg",

You can convert your bumper to a 2010+ MY bumper (sport or non sport) but you will need all the inserts and new headlights...it all bolts up without modifications...there a so many threads on here on doing it/how to do it/DIYs/ everything with pictures and part numbers...dig around it shouldn't take too long there are just that many threads on the site on his exact topic..

...you should post a picture of what you have it will help others chime in as your post is a little unclear on what you're starting with

Well theres this old thread: https://www.myg37.com/forums/interio...nterest-3.html

I think most people don't bother with lips on the base because the price is about the same for a new sport bumper and it just bolts up the way a lip does

its way more expensive. lip is small enough that you can paint at home.
