I like the blitz, fabulous, Prussian Blue, and Wald kit on white cars. White is a very clean color so those lips should compliment it very well. Too bad theyre all from Japan and will most likely require a 1-2 month wait time.

a lot of negative comments for a member who is using a 255/35/20. The tire size you are running inspires ZERO confidence in what you are saying. If you knew whats up you wouldnt be running that SUV tire. PS you car look a little jacked up imo. It looks off road with the set up you are running.... kind of like a really old guy picked out the set up


have respect for other cars and thier set up .... or at least make sure you set up is flawless before you bash

Wow. A little overboard for my taste, especially the interior. Why in the world do you need a Cobra 40-channel CB radio in a Lexus?

I think the chrome strips on the back are a little to much imo, but the kit is amazing and better than any other on this forum because you actually have full bumper replacements front and rear.

I decided not to get a full bumper kit, because I didnt want to have to refit my parking sensors. the kits out ther do not come with provisions for them. I also have learned from my years in this foolish hobby, that OEM urethane bumpers are far superior to FRP or whatever aftermarket material.

I wanted to get the AIMGAIN kit but opted not to. I think there is way too much chrome on that black GS for my taste, but not my car. Im sure the owner likes it.
