Hello, I’m returning back to the forums after purchasing a 2014 gs350 base. I didn’t know the front end aftermarket parts would be so hard to find. I’ve located these off eBay and haven’t seen anything from my search about this for our front end. Any one try this out? Already started the mod process so need some help. Thanks.
Fairly priced lips for the non F sport models are hard to come by. That one you posted was only recently available -- but nice find. Haven't seen anyone on the 4GS forum with that one.
You can get some F sport lips to work on a non F sport like the SK style L- Style. Fit is not perfect for the SK style but you can get it to work with a little dremmel work and extra screws/drilling, I did it with mine. The L Style is supposed to be a better/easier fit to non F sport then SK style.
@esonu For the L-Style lip (https://www.ebay.com/itm/L-Style-Fro...y/391167972034), there isn't much fabrication work to be done. It will have two mounting holes in the center that will perfectly align with the factory bolts that are already there. The rest will just be you aligning (and possibly bending) the lip as needed and drilling it into the bumper. In that previous thread I mentioned, you can see my car up on a lift giving you an idea as to how it aligns and where some of the screws will need to go.
I'm sure fellow member Udel can likely provide more insight into the Skipper replica and how it fits...
Do you guys have any detailed photos by chance of what it looks like? I don’t mind doing some fabrication work.
These are not great pics. I also put in a F Sport upper and lower grill.
On the unpainted pic I marked in blue where the big gap is when you put this on a non F sport. The smaller blue circle is the main area where you need to do a little dremmel work to get it to fit more flush. I left the gap and did not try to connect it to the body of the car, I did put another screw in that area for more stability and to push it up a little so the screw is fully visible in the gap.
Damn, does look good but idk if I can live with that gap lol. Got back into the Lexus game from the mustang community and they have parts for every model. Crazy how less the amount of products are available for the base 4gs

You can seal that gap with double sided tape but you can tell the lip was not really made to fit up into the body there for the non F sport, I was just worried the pressure of that area wanting to come back down would eventually cause the double sided tape to fail plus it may create issue in the snow so I did not attach it. The fitment is snugger because I put a longer screw in that area to push it up a little more and provide a little more bracing. I will see how it works out, seems okay for now. It sucks about the F Sport vs non but it is mainly just in the front clip area that lacks aftermarket support, the rest of the car is almost exactly the same.

Anyone ever use this lip?
