Default Ebay GS300 Aero Q

Hey Guys,

Just bought a GS300 in Australia, and i'm looking to make it a whole lot less stock.

I've been searching around for a TTE front lip, and Junction produce style boot and roof lips (without the genuine price tags)

the only thing i have yet to find is these two items below:


TTE Front Lip

Junction produce style boot and roof lip combo

Now the TTE lip looks legit, and i guess it isn't too bad of a price including shipping to aus, but the roof and boot lip combo seems a bit too good to be true... Does anyone have any experience with either of these mobs? anything to say? or if i'm looking int he complete wrong direction, could someone please send me the right way?

Thanks heaps guys and i will definately post up my car once it's got a few nice additions!

The front lip clearly is not legit meaning that it's not an genuine TTE lip. Even if you scroll down a bit, you will see in the item description that it says "replica".

And another e-bay seller (or probably the same one) is using PHILLYGS' picture of his genuine TTE lip to make the sale.

Ok i wasn't sure if the majority of you guys in the states were running genuine or not! It's near impossible to find one in Aus. How much should i be expecting to pay for a genuine item?

If you prefer to get a real one, you are better off buying one from a person who is putting their own up for sale.

Here is one of a few that have popped up in the classifieds section:

Since you are located in Australia, shipping it over there may be an issue.

The vast majority of GS builds that are half decent here in the states go with genuine parts... the fit is usually better and the material its made of is better.

Hey mate,

I'm on the Gold Coast in QLD.

And my GS is bone stock. Silver, black interior. I plan on having the Aero mentioned earlier, ordering BC coils this week, and chasing after a set of varrstoen 1.1.2's to slam it on.

If my other car is any testament to my car building then i may as well try to show it off too haha. After all it is my pride and joy, the aim of my GS is just to be a badass daily driver.



As for the imitation lips, has anyone seen one themselves? i am someone handy at fibreglass so if it needs modifications it could happen possibly....

from what i hear the fitment is pretty good for a replica. Just dont expect it to hold up when you smack your car into something since its fiberglass.

Ive heard stories of real TTE lips going under the car n still surviving. lol

The 3 piece spoiler fits good but the roof spoiler is about 1/2" short on each side
