Nope. The eyelids don't match perfectly, but it's very close. Take a closer look at the one on the RH side in this pic. It's definitely not color matched perfectly, and it shows it more prevalently than the LH side.

It looks to me to be a type of additional seal between the fender and bumper, not necessarily just to cover a gap. If you look closely, they did something similar to the front lip and bumper cover.

Overall, I'm not feeling the fenders, wheels, or the overall look, but I can appreciate the amount of work that went into it.

that's correct, it's actually a T shape seal that you put in between the lip and the bumper. i don't know exactly about the fabulous kit but i know quite a few jdm companies, for example wald, start to include this with their kits to customers. if done right it forms a better transition between the lip and the bumper. i guess on the white it's much harder. my ls460l had the same seal too in black (my car was black) and it made the kits look a lot cleaner

Man that thing is soooo over done. The fenders and wheels look awful and whats the deal with the carbon fiber b pillars on a lexus GS. Some guys just do mods to do mods. This is one of those cases. I am surorised that another member even described this thing as " clean".... NO that is NOT clean. RominLs car is an example of clean if its going to have a body kit.

i like the kit. just not sure of all the black accents. think it'd look a lot more slick without them.
