I've got details from Steve on this GB and can post them. I still need some clarification on how folks should place the order.

As I mentioned earlier, Steve's price has gone up on the TTE items at the beginning of the year so his margin is pretty slim. TTE has also been a slow to deliver, so he wants to make sure that everybody's expectations are set that it may take up to 90 days for these lips to come in to him. He ordered twelve of these lips almost three months ago (some already spoken for) and they have not yet arrived.

The GB Price on the TTE lips for the 2nd gen GS will be $289.00 shipped ( plus tax if you live in CA)

More info to follow on how to order.

On the Teins, Steve has some of the lowest prices on the net on these already and can't cut the margin any further. He said he'll include free shipping on these for our ClubLexus members.

OK guys, here's the math and lets stop recalculating the discount percentage, lol. Either the price is good and you buy it or you dont !

12.4242% is the discount over what Aristo*7 just payed. An effective $40 off sounds pretty good to me.

I suspect the normal list price is going to go up soon since Steve's price was just increased, so the discount will likely be higher in the near future.

More on how to order for those that want their 12.4242% discount over the current price as soon as I hear back from Steve.

That would be an incredible price for a good paint job.

Ordering Information from Steve

www.l-tunedparts.com

When ordering, use code CLTT for both the Tein and TTE online, please put this in the comment section Carson will manually change the pricing and shipping. To be safe, I'd recommend putting "Code CLTT - ClubLexus group buy price + free shipping"

Eric - according to Steve TTE doesn't list a lip for the 1st Gen GS...........and he doesn't think the Japanese ones will fit because of the bumper shapes. Full bumper replacement kit will work
