Unhappy GS 03 Sportdesign Lip Spoiler ** pricing **

Hi CL,

Many people have been inquiring about the new Sport Design Rear lip spoiler Lexus has as a factory option..................ARE YOU SITTING DOWN FOR THIS..



LIST PRICE, PAINTED-$1041.31

This is not a joke, though it should be............

Sure, I can get you one, but why??

I'm checking "other" sourcing for this, If I can bring you a reasonable price you know I will

TTE lip at $199.00 unpainted is a close design, is the SD lip worth anotheR $600.00??

Default WHOA!

I guess it's no different than them deciding to sell the entire center console to get a chrome shift bezel.

"LIST PRICE, PAINTED-$1041.31". That's one expensive rear lip. I will use my thousand toward new
rims/tires first.

wow
i got my whole sport design package for less than that price.
i purchased the 03' sport design for $900.00 over on a regular gs300. you do the math
this included the hid lights, perforated leather seats, and the rear lip spoiler, painted too
i think the pricing is unreasonable, i would spent the money doing something else.

That's the beauty when buying a package port installed, but when it comes to adding it after the sale or crash replacement pieces, somethings are just not worth it

Of course they're quite a markup there..but there is one thing i'm sure about...there are NO fitment issues.
