It took me over a year to get the right kit before I finally decided, so don't rush into it , take your time. I looked at everything from Blitz to Veilside. I think the Veilside wing is the best one out there, real classy, not ricey at all and there's nothing like it. Just go to www.Veilside.com and click on Veilside USA. There are 2kits for the GS, the 161 K1, and the Executive Sports(newer kit). The wing I'm talking about is the 161 K1 wing. The Executive Sports wing looks like the RMM wing. I'll post pics when the GS is done. Just waiting on the wing so everything can be painted at once. Can't wait!!!!!

Also I have been to the LEXTASY website and noticed that they are selling the WIN kit for like $650. Is that a good price or is this just a cheap immitation body kit? It sounds awfully cheap for a body kit compared to what im used to. Has anyone dealt with LEXTASY on big purchases? I have bought a few things from them but nothing big.

the lextasy site states win kit style, meaning its a copy/imitation. b careful.

When I had my first GS4 I tried and tried to find a supplier for the Win rear deck spoiler, but was not successful. The GS4 I have now came with the stock Lexus spoiler, which I like OK, but I think the Win spoiler is perfect for the GS. Good luck finding a source.

Man, I thought I was the only one getting the WIN kit . Just playing, the more hooked up GS's, the better!!!! The WIN kit is definitely a good choice, nice clean lines and also gives you the option of retaining the chrome strips which most other body kits don't let you do, and to me, those other kits take away from the nice lines of the GS. The price for the WIN kit is just too low, it's definitely a knock-off. I should know, because I ordered the "WIN" kit through a buddy of mine that was supposedly a close-out sale for around that price too, although they didn't advertise it as the WIN kit, just had a picture of it (I actually didn't know about the WIN kit until after I started seeing the posts on clublexus, I just saw how clean the kit looked back then). When I got the kit, I was like %$#@1, this must be some knock-off of a kit, because the quality just wasn't there! You get what you pay for! Some close out sale!! Oh well, live and learn. Fortunately for me, I have a really good body shop guy. He's done a bunch of my friends cars, including custom fabricating, so I know his work (he does some mad stuff!!), so he's really working with me on installing this kit, cuz he's having to build up some parts here and shave some parts there, and reinforce other parts, but he's not charging me alot to do all this extra work (plus I'm having the hood repainted due to freakin rock chips, putting a white pearl with 3 to 4 coats of clear and molding in the rear bumper and retaining the chrome strips on the bumpers and installing the Veilside wing too), so in my case, I still came out ahead despite my ignorance of knock off kits and pseudo false advertising. So unless you have a really good body shop guy that you know real well and will work with you and not try to rip you off, DON'T get a knock-off kit, cuz you might wind up spending almost as much money as the real kit after all the modifications just to install it and such (which I heard has happened before from friends and others). As far as the Veilside wing, I ordered it through Vision Performance (www.visionperformance.net) for $567.00 plus $100.00 shipping. I found him through the link off the Veilside website. He is an authorized dealer for Veilside and is located in Acworth,GA.
I called him and told him you might be interested in the wing, so give him a buzz (770-966-9182). Tell him Bing with the GS 300 sent ya. My wing should be arriving today, Yippee!!!

thanks for the info veritek. I have heard about the knock off kits and how cheap the can be but I just couldnt imagine lextasy selling some cheap knockoff. Whats up with that? I just noticed the Win-style under their description. I found the kit from Carismaautotec.com. They sell about 4 different kits for the gs and the Win kit that they have looks like it comes with the rear spoiler. Their kit sells for about $1299. A friend of mine ordered a kit from them and he loved it. The body shop had to do some modifications to the kit to make it perfect but that is usually the cas with fiberglass. If that kit doesnt come with the spoiler and I cant find it I just may go with the veilside wing. I like that one as well but I like the one from the Win kit better. DO you know if the veilside wing mounts in the factory spoiler holes? I will give the guy you recommended a call. Will he be willing to ship to florida? And im probably not going to be installing the body kit for a month and a half because right now im working on getting the system done. Thanks for the advice veritek
