Default What full body lip kit will you recommend?

Im planning to go VIP with my 06 gs300 I've recently bought. Im trying to see what lip to get that will suite these body style. Something more in the lines of a clean, simple, vip style lip kit.

some of the ones I've seen so far are the carson, INGS, vertex, etc..

Where can I find a kit for a reasonable price that are in stock?

Anything authentic is in Japan and is going to take you around 10-12 weeks to get to you and most are not cheap check out this link

AGREED!!! I would never go with a replica kit. Fitment is for me one of the biggest differentiators between a kit looking good and looking tacky. The ING's replica kits, like many other replica kits, have fitment issues, end up costing more to install and looking worse when all said and done.

The ING's kit is very reasonable to begin with... I would say, if you like it, go original or keep the car stock.

So, to recap. You want to go VIP clean, yet replica? Thats a no-no. You will despise the fitment on the replicas. Go with authentic ING kit and they are priced reasonable.

My Autocouture lip is the first body kit I have ever purchased but I will say that the fitment was absolutely perfect as if it came off the assembly line with the car my bodyman was super impressed just my .02 treat my car like my wardrobe I rock Jordans, never Gordons !!!
