thanks anyways

Typically
add-ons are cheaper than full bumper replacements.
You know what olddog, a front lip greddy/tte/jdm will cost roughly $250-$300,
side skirts (if you can find them):l-tuned , rmm, l-sportlines... will cost roughly $300-$500, and add-on rears: jdm/tte...(any others out there?) will be in the $300 (I'm being conservative here), comes out to be around $1100.

So TLW's group buy was an awesome price

If you want to keep it at low as possible, get a front lip and some side skirts

thanks, i can accomodate that set-up.
i don't believe getting a body kit for a luxury car like lexus takes it out of its perfection.
like some have said, if done right , it in fact improves the perfection.

to me it doesn't matter if it's a whole kit or just a front lip, as long as everything flows right. Get it done right or not get it done at all.
just my .02

I first got a lip and sideskirts then I started seeing nicer GS's than mine and said hey I want the looks that they get or I like the way their cars look.

SO, what did I do, I spent more money in the long run and got a full replacement bodykit that set me back $4000.00 bucks when it was done and said.

So, my advice is to be patient and wait til you can get the one that you really want.

I'm sporting an RMM too but it's been so long I don't remember what I paid for it.
As others have mentioned save for what you REALLY want. In the interim your tastes could change a little or you could see different styles you like more than others so it's better to save and then splurge after you've taken adequate time to make your decision. Enjoy the GS.

I agree with the saving thing.. BUT I have had alot of different cars and ALOT of different kits and lips .. Real and fake.. Honestly, if you can find a good replica then it should be fine.. what you need is a good body shop. that is what makes a kit look good.. the actualy body shop.. and of course the kind of kit you put on.. but thats all personal opinion..
