Everything fit like a glove, the bodyshop thought these were OEM Lexus parts, that was a great compliment. Aero parts were easy to prep and paint, used factory attachments. this consisted of the Front lip, side skirts, rear lip, roof spoiler,Rear spoiler and grille.
One item we did find out is the factory rear lip is held on by clips so there's (5) holes left in the trunk, becasue of this we did not put on our CarsonTuned rear spoiler. We also noticed we have to remold the grille 5mm so the lines are perfect. Our Japan manufacturer's President and General Mananger were on hand as we fitted all the parts on and took some final measurements. They want this perfect as we do, nothing less will do from CarsonTuned.!
I'll have pics up this week for all to see

Grille
I really need to see some pictures of the grille so I can decide if I'm gonna order it or not so I can have it painted at the same time as when I get my new front bumper (compliements of my dumb girlfriend backing up into it). Thanks!
