Default Front bumper lip spoiler

Ted,

mine is the Toyota Team Europe front lip spoiler. My dealer got it for me. If I remember correctly you are in the NY metro area (CT?). Call Tommy Acciarello at Lexus of Manhattan (212)977-4400 he should be able to get it for you, and they should also be able to arrange for installation if needed. Tell him you want the same one he got for me - I can give him a call to refresh his memory if necessary. I have an L-Tuned suspension on my GS and I have no problems - you just need to be more aware when pulling up to parking spaces that have a curb in front, and steep hills/driveways - approach them at an angle when possible - slowly if not possible. Keep me posted.

I think it would work Ted...that only looks to be about 2 inches or so as opposed to mine which is like 4-5 inches of overhang.

I would say from a guess..it would cost something like $250-300 and don't worry about painting it....LEXAN on ME!!!!!

SUPERJOE:

thanks a lot. I very well might get the TTE Front Lip.

I bet the LEXAN paint will work well.

Can't wait to get the INFINITY SPEAKERS installed and the really blue bulbs put in (just like your yellow ones - can we go to the shop eastcoast or motorsport 46 and get blue bulbs there?) and also hopefully the roof spoiler.

post something about the proposed meet on Nov 24.

peace

ted

THANKS A LOT JOHNNY MO!!!

It's way to low for Ted...I have the Greddy Lip and I have a 1.4" drop...I still have a hard time getting in and out of driveways

Ted has a 2" drop forget it....if he got the Greddy Lip and someone threw a quarter under his car he would get stuck...(Like Dan right Ted!! LOL)

It looks like the TTE lip doesn't hang as low as the Greddy that's why he wants it.
