Default GS350 non F sport lips

Whats up GS squad,

I currently just purchased a 2013 GS350 non f sport and Im currently shopping for lips. Just need some feedback on what members are running on the non f sports. I see alot of the lips online are mainly for F-Sports. Is there a big difference between the bumpers when installing F sport and Non F Sport? No sure what route to go. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, both bumpers are different. Some lips however, do fit both bumpers, but not ideally. There will be gaps and other imperfections. The biggest question is, are you looking to buy an authentic or replica lip? There are many lips available for non F-Sport. I personally had a Lexon lip, and was very happy with it.

I should have an AIMGAIN Front Lip (FRP) for Lexus GS350 (Non F Sport) that just came in. I also have side skirts and maybe a rear diffuser to complete the kit. Only ONE available for Non-Fsport. Takes ~6 months to get another

@Yaozers there is definitely a difference in the overall shape/design of the bumper. However, there are a few F-sport lips that fit the non F sport. There are also a bunch of manufacturers making lips specific for the non F sport bumper. Here are some helpful threads:

Ideally authentic, I know replicas will have fitment issues. Was your lexon authentic? What do most guys run, replica or authentic? I feel like if i can find a nice replica lip that has good fitment, that’d be cool to. I saw some authentic ones that go for $700+.

I have the Aimgain front lip and I love it. Best looking on the non f sport in my opinion.

I have the base GS and got the lip off of eBay... $100 for the lip shipped, which is good. Lips have a high chance of being damaged so my thought was why spend so much. The eBay lip does the job and looks good. Had the lip painted gloss black

My $60 BasonR eBay lip looks good and protects bottom of my bumper. One time I was not thinking and bumped the curb, no damage, front lip save, and the inevitable scrape every once in a while, all saved by the front lip. My car is not lowered, just has a bounce to it sometimes on a dip entering/existing a main road enough to scrape.
