I would love to have that bumper on my 2013. Looks like the GSF in a way.

@Charcos916 i think you'd be the first one on the forum with that bumper for the pre-refresh GS. Can't wait to see actual pics!

Some pics on an older thread: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/cl-...-in-stock.html

Im excited can't wait to get it all done.. So far I've needed a emblem for the 2016+ gs and possibly fog lights since hey aren't included in the kit. Although my stock ones might fit. The bottom where there is a opening for the fog lights isn't included. I was told I might need to get a black mesh and put that inside there. It kind of looks like others have done this as well but I'm not sure. If anyone knows or can help me let me know. I bought it from modinjapan and Steven has been great. He's really helpful and has been patient with me since I had alot of questions

The mesh part might be a full custom fabrication that i'm sure the shop can do for you as well. Check out this vid where they had a DIY custom grill completed on a Porsche:

I bought some black metal mesh to go down by the fog lights but I wonder if I could just leave it open. Has anyone else done that?

@Charcos916 looks great! What are your plans for the lower "vents" area? Plan to leave it open or put some kind of mesh?

Its filled with black diamond mesh. Can't really see it in the picture. I'll take more tomorrow in more detail and up closer so you can see

It was 2399 plus tax and I got it from modinjapan. Steven helped me figure out exactly what I needed. I took it to a place in nor cal called California Color Body & Paint they installed it for me in 7 business days. No complaints from me they did a great job. Painted the grill for me and offered to paint the area near the fog lights, I just need to figure out which parts to paint. Got the vinyl wrap done at Lrt graphics, they did the chrome delete for the rest of the car as well but that was last year. For both shops it was about 1200
