I see....well after pricing out accessories for a Lexus, I've come to the conclusion that its pretty darn expensive getting a GS to look hot! I really cant afford to spend 2000.00 on a body kit so this one seems right up my alley!

There is a benefit tobuying a $2000 bodykit as opposed to a knock-off.
Sure, $2000 is a lot (more than I can handle right now), but if you buy a knock off at $399, be prepared to pay maybe another $1000 for fitment purposes. A lot of times, knock-off kits really stink in terms of matching up on body panels and the such and will create much more of a headache whereas genuine kits fit like a glove and you have no worries.
However, $399 is a good price for the kit. Talk to the seller about fitment and ask if anyone else bought that kit and has had success with it. I've seen that same kit on eBay before for sale (maybe not THAT exact kit), so I'm sure he's sold more than one.
Let us know your results and good luck!

Well first I have to purchase a GS..lol.
I see what you mean about price vs. quality. I'd hate to have a beautiful peice of machinery only to have a body kit that looks like it was painted and slapped on. Sometime you do get what you pay for and you're better off spending the extra $$$.

haha..i know, i was reading in there already and I see the norm seems to be like $2000-$5000 for wheels and tires. I have a lot to learn once I end up getting my GS.
