there are tons more lips but most of them hang lower and are MUCH more expensive and MUCH harder to find.

right manaray? (not for you obviously you'd get them CHEAP )

Default If you want to see it in person

mrsypher,

if you want to see the TTE lip in person let me know, I can meet you at Rye Ridge Plaza (Food Emporium) if you like. I can also get you in touch with Lexus of Mnahattan who ordered the lip and did the install for me.

Get the Greddy, the TTE is not aggresive enough.

Something else to consider is your modding schedule.

With my LTuned suspension, and OEM 17s, the GReddy was very low; a concern for any uneven pavement maneuvers. With my 18s up front now, there is much less worry.

From riding around with Dave with his Eibach and Bilsteins, and OEM 17s, I think the TTE does not sit as low.

Doesn't the Sport Design come with the LTuned suspension from the factory? If so, I would wait until you have taller wheels to install a lip.

Well, right now I'm rinning around with DUBS.... It sits like a Outback right now.:eek: .... But Stave Ganz will have my Tein Flex hopefully Monday or Tuesday, I think after I have them installed I will see how low it sits then I will make my decision.. But then also I have another factor..... Sides and a rear that will match it.... Or maybe just hold off and get a whole kit..... This MOD bug is killing me...... Modding is all I can think about, really no joke... I had my car for less than 2 months and I think before the summer is done so will be my GS.....

Default Merritt Pkwy

Rained most of the week last week...not likely me, although if I remeber right I had it Monday and Tuesday, but I took 95 home those nights, cuz it was too late to drive the Merritt...too many close calls with deer and they're doing road grinding/paving so probably not me...I hope my Borlas aren't offline/twisted. I usually take my truck to work, unless it's going to be a nice day. I don't get enough time on the weekends to spend washing and Zaino-ing the GS, so I try to keep it clean when possible. Let me know when you want to meet up after work is cool with me.
