Default Tte Lip

What do you guys think about the TTE front lip with WIN sides?also, is there a rear that hangs as low as the WIN rear but without such large exhaust ports? it seems that the WIN rear you need a really big pipe or dual tips to fill it up.
Thanks.

I have the TTE lip on my car and I have investigated which sideskirts will work and which ones wont.This is just my opinion but I think the WIN sides will hang down lower than the TTE lip and cause an uneven look.I have seen the Lsportline and the Ltuned and they both look great with the TTE lip.I also would imagine other options would be the Blitz, Classy Sport Design,Explosion, or maybe even the Rod Millen sides although they do appear to hang a little lower toward the front of the skirts.My vote is for the Blitz sides and rear and TTE front lip.
As far as which rear is piece is best w/o having huge exhaust openings look into the Lsportline, Explosion, RMM, and Blitz.There are alot of kits out there besides the ones I named and in the end its all about personal preferance of course but hopefully this will help you out a bit.

Thanks GStrance i apperciate your input. one other question, i went to a car show here in Seattle last September at the Tacoma dome and this guy had a black GS which was featured in a magazine shoot, he had a kit called "TT" i'm sure it's from Japan but what i like about it was the front apron was just like our stock front end, excpet it hung a little lower (not a bolt onto the existing) same lower gril and retianed his fogs. Any idea how to get a hold of that kit? that's if you've ever seen it.
Thanks.

I agree. I've seen the TTE with the LTuned up close and it is a very clean, sporty, and slightly more aggressive look. DaveGS4 has this setup.

I get to pick up my Blue GS Friday with my TTE lip installed weith OWM skirts. I'll post some pics Sun or Mon.

Do u remember if that GS had a trunk set up with plexi and had the Lexus logo etched into it?

If so, that car has the TT Answer Kit. It is a Japanese kit. Just for your info if thats the same car. That car was owned by a former CL member and a friend of mine. He sold the car to a buyer in Seattle. I didnt know that it wsa still going to hit the show circuit. Take care...

Not really. Ready for a simpler, cleaner look. My GReddy is just really scraped up on the very underside. Wth the OEM 17s, and LTuned Susp, its really too low and aggressive.

You back to OEM rims? What did you do with your other rims?
