Can anyone name all the body kits available for the GS?

I saw a bunch at GTAutoSports, but I am sure there are more.

We should have like a complete list of all the body kits available for the GS, the prices of each, the best place to get each from, and pics of each (in dark & light colored cars). And maybe a measure of how good the quality of the kit is too....with opinionated Club Lexus member ratings on how each looks, how hard it is to install, etc?

Don't you guys agree?

Hmmm, there are a LOT of them...such a list would be nice but it would be one hell of an undertaking...

And I don't think we could really measure the quality w/o getting the kits...I think we'd have to up the donations from $30 to $3000...

I suppose we could make a user editable database where people who actually have the kits can rate them (and upload pictures), but it would be very subjective and unless other members had the kit also, you'd only get one color of the kit...

Maybe from now on, if someone here buys a kit, they can take pictures of the kit before installation (with detailed/close-up shots) and then take pictures after the install...and then rate it (with initial observations) and then over time, just add updates...

Manaray,

When I saw that you posted a response, I actually thought that when I opened up the thread, you would have listed them all because I know you are capable of it. LOL

Yeah I thought he posted them all too! Let's atleast try to name them all?

The ones I know of (from GTAutoSports):

Blitz
Wise
AB Flug
Veilside
Falcon
Time Machine
Attain
Explosion
Esprit
Arms Design
Approval
C-One
Zairez
Rod Millen
Win Racing
Egoist
IMC
Auto Couture
L-Sportline
TTE

From store.yahoo.lexusparts:

Original JDM
LECS

Others:

L-Tuned

That's a lot right there, when you say a lot, what do you mean Manaray? Even if there are 100, we sure could atleast name them all right? And we could easily post the pics of all the kits I have named because all the pics are available at GTAutoSports...ratings could come later.

Name more! And ClubLexus needs a bodykit chart or guide with atleast names, prices, and pics...that's easy enough to do for now!

I think we should divide the group into "true body kit" and "add-on".

Question Ground clearence

Since we are on this topic. I am finally considering getting a bodykit but I need some info.

1) Which bodykit has the most ground clearence? I know that the WIN bodykit has only 3" or so of space from the ground. That would definately not work for me. I need something that would not scrap everytime I go up my driveway or scrap when i go through a small dip.

Don't get anything from Rando...... full name AEROTECH JAPAN - "Rando". Quality is not that good and their shop rips people off. Trust me.

Diselman, I think the kits that give you most ground cleareance are as followed, L-sportline (hehe), TTE bodykit add-on, Rod millen, Explosion. I think these 4 kits give you plenty of ground clearance, I haven't got one single scrach on my Lsportline kit, or never bottom it out. pretty amazing hun? and my car is dropped 1.5 on front 1.3 on the back.

It seems to me that everyone is getting LSportline! Maybe I should consider another bodykit then. Maybe the LECS one or something.
