Question GS JDM body package

Hey guys I am thinking of getting these set of body package for my 07 GS and I am just wondering what you guys think. I know it is a minor change and I am the type of person that likes small change rather then some big change so please give me feed back thanks.

I personally love the factory JDM kit. I think its the best fitment kit you can ever get. Also the color match is 99.9999% perfect. I used to have the factory jdm kit for my 2nd Gen GS and i love it. If this factory kit for the 3rd GEN gs is a tad bit more agressive i would of jump on it already.

It is subtle, not as aggressive as I would prefer. but definitely a big improvement. Go for it!
The 08 JDM kit is a bit more aggressive than this one

They do come prepainted I checked with the person that I am getting them from. The only question that I have is that if it fits the tanabe exhaust that I have. Does anyone know?

If the stock bumper takes the tanabe then the lexus aero kit should take it as well. The opening isnt getting smaller, the bumper is only getting an extra layer in the rear. Thanks for the info. I am kind of excited that I found a kit that will give me the fit and color match I want and need. Even if the kit isnt as aggerssive, the quality is important to me. I heard from guys withthe rando and wald kit who had paint issues and fittment issues that the body shop had. I want an OEM quality part with OEM quality paint and paint color match

The one issue I have with the JDM Lexus kit is that it looks unbalanced. It's very thin in the front, medium for the sideskirts, and very large in the rear.

sides and rear i don't see why not. Front, you'll have to stick with your own model year.
