Question Which one L-Sportline, JDM, or, L-Tuned

Ok guys im new and ive been reading your post for a few days now and I have to say some you guy are some of the most knowledgeable people around. You guys know more than the dealers and some of you don't know dittly about cars but thats ok. We are all here to help each other. Now I need your help. I want to change the side skirts to my 99 GS 300. Its silver with blk int. I don't know the difference between the skirts. My car is dropped an inch and is sit-in on chrome 18's and also sent of stock 17 "s. So which lip would you guys recommend for my car The L-sportline, JDM or L-tuned. Feel free to tell me the differences between the 3. Cause honestly I don't know

Prepboy, welcome to ClubLexus!

Your post is a bit confusing because you mention you want sideskirts and then later you mention you want a lip? Do you want both or just the skirts or just the font lip?

Regardless, let's start out with some education. The first trick you want to learn is to use the search feature. I found the thread below from just a couple of days ago that will pretty much answer your question about the difference.

Prepboy, JDM isn't a specific brand or style. It stands for 'Japanese Domestic Market'; just means it's a product built and sold in Japan (and not necessarily in the US). L-tuned does not make a lip, and L-sportline is a full-bumper replacment (not a lip that fits overtop your factory spoiler).

Good luck!

adding to what Dave said, if you were referring the 'Lip" as side skirts, here are some brief info:

L-tuned, slightly curved, great fit and finish, comes pre-painted..IMHO, matches the car very well

L-sports, more straight line; you need to paint this one

JDM- from japan, made/marketed by toyota dealers in japan, mainly Netz toyota, pre-painted also..kind of between L-tuned and L-sport
