Default What are some nice body kits for 08+ ?

I had a 06 GS430 and bought the Prussian Blue lip kit for it, during the 5 months of waiting time for the kit to arrive my car was smashed by a drunk driver and was totaled. So I've bought a 08 GS460 and the kit doesn't fit due to the difference in bumpers, I haven't seen many kits for the 08+ models that are clean to me, does anyone know of any ? Now I got a brand new kit just sitting in the garage.

Sorry to hear about the accident, but at least you're OK. For 08+, i like the JDM OEM lip kit.

Are you planning to sell the PB kit?

Could you post a pic of the front lip against the 08 bumper? I was actually considering custom fitting an 07 lip kit to my 08. I just wanted to see how much different they are.

I've boxed the kit back up, but when I did test fitted it, it was short about 3" and the shape was way off from the 06. I don't think it's even worth trying to form it to fit, you might as well make your own lip kit if you're gonna go through all that trouble fiber glassing it.

Check Sewell Lexus, they have the 08+ jspec front lip or full kit. Can order color matched from Japan for you.

probably you know, but PB kit is available for 08+also. imo, i think it's the best looking kit unless you are looking for a full bumper replacement.

I seen the PB kit for the 08-12, it does look clean minus the vents on the rear. I'm just trying to see what my other options where. Really want a lip kit and not full bumper. But if I was to go for a full bumper I was thinking of the G-Answer or Job Design.
