Default 2008 GS Lexus Body kit

Some of you might already discover this latest body kit. For people screaming for the 2008 GS body kit, this is the first one I've seen, and it's from Lexus Japan. Regardless how it looks, it's available.

Toyota/Lexus factory body kit has the best quality (comes pre-painted), in my opinion, compares to the aftermarket variants. I've purchased a set of body kit directly from Toyota Japan 4 years ago and still enjoy it. You should be able to purchase this body kit via the import tuning companies (also check with the CL sponsors).

unfortunately Japaneses have always been a fan of SUPER USELESS SMALL PICTURES

I wish there are better pics of this kit, perhaps CL member would like to be the guinea pig and try it out

It looks promising, but... must... get... better... pictures...

i would want a little but more aggressive lip. prepainted is a big bonus!

The pics aren't so small on a 24" monitor

I'd try the Oem front lip as soon as one of our vendors puts out a GB. They'd better hurry, I sense Johnny will have a 24hr sale on a JDM front lip soon . . .

Kit is simple and nice. I got it on my 2006 but it is too much work to put it on.

I like, if there is a GB on that one, please count me in! Can't beat L-Tuned and factory painted.

lucky 08 guys, that front lip is much more agressive then the 06-07s. i wish the had something like that for the 06-07s. The OEM JDM one is sort of plain.

So this one doesn't fit 06-07?
There's another oem for our car? Can you or someone post a pic of it.

Indeed, I rather have the 08 front lip. The sides and rears look the same.

I am still thinking of getting the kit. The rear lip is really nice. Actually, all I would like is a nice front lip. I like the stock rear bumper on the 07s, unpainted portions of the buttom of the bumper w/ a tanabe exhaust.
