Default WTB: Front lip, grill or entire body kit for '08 GS350

I'm picking up an '08 GS350 and I'm looking for an aftermarket front lip, side skirts and grill.

Let me know what you guys have.....prefer local pick-up in SoCal.

I'm new to the 3rd generation, so have patience with me as I do not know what all of the aftermarket options look like yet.....I'll have to look them up or even better is if you could post a picture of the kit on the car.

Thanks CL.

Thanks for your input....

With the little research that I have done, I think I'm leaning towards the Auto Couture front lip add-on below but I'd still like to look at all options.

Any other inputs or parts for sale that fit an '08 from other CL members would be greatly appreciated.

That autocouture front lip only fits 06-07 bumpers.
For 08+ the only lip kit is the prussian blue kit and the jdm aero kit

Prussian blue is your best bet. I had an 08 myself and there isn't that many option as the 07.

thanks guys....I'll look into the Prussion Blue lip.

What is the main difference in the front bumper between '06/'07 to '08?

^^ The grill area and the shape at the bottom portion of the bumper. Look at the area around the fog lights.

Thank you!!

The '08 front bumper looks much more aggressive in my opinion. I actually like the '07 rear bumper better.

Anyone know of a shop or dealer in the U.S. that stocks '08 body parts? I'm going to give Carson Toyota a call tomorrow.
