Default GSF fender and side skirt conversion 16+

Has anyone done the GSF fender and side skirt conversion to their 2016-2017 GS350? I purchased the GSF fenders/ side skirts and plan on installing in the next few weeks after i get them painted.

Hoping everything bolts right up and i don't run into any issues using the front F sport bumper. Got hooked up on the parts so don't ask why i didn't just buy the GSF LOL

My pics below

There is a member on here who has done this, I believe he has a build thread on here somewhere. Where did you get the fenders and skirts???

Have a buddy that works @ Lexus ! The conversion above was done to the 2013-2015 body style which is slightly different i believe.

Will attempt to do a test fit soon

Had a painter tell me today he would likely have to blend the doors since Silver is hard to match.

Not sure how i feel about this just yet..

Your painter is right. Good luck getting an exact match, silver is really tough to blend.

But if you do the test fit, still post some pics and details.

** UPDATE **

Finally installed the conversion over the weekend. Total time to remove and install was about 2.5 hours with a helper.

Will get more pictures once this weather clears up! Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks

Yep panels bolted right up! Ran into two minor issues which was expected

1. Could not use my fender liners. May possibly purchase GSF liners or customize my old ones.
2. F sport bumper does not line up 100% with the fender since the GSF fenders are a bit wider. I'll be looking for a fix for this

Overall I'm extremely happy that I pulled the trigger .. Makes it look so much more aggressive
