I just installed mine, the screws and hardware was half missing- bag was open so I guess they slid out of box but the CF qualitylooks good. I used 2 screws for the rears + 3m tape thats all I had.

Received and installed mine Saturday. Front takes 3 minutes to install, but removed rear wheels for best installation and alignment of the guards. Like UZ214 said, my bag was ripped open as well, 6 screws and washers all over the place, greasy fingerprints all over carbon, and 3M tape installed by 3 year old (all over the back side of carbon). After necessary corrections, fitment is spot on. Comes with 2 extra body panel push clips, i reused the front fender liner 10mm screws. Good product overall, im happy.

Just ordered a set, excited to add a little bit of Carbon Fiber to balance out the car. I ordered the high gloss ones, but wondering if everyone else ordered the Satin finish? Not sure it will make a huge difference, but excited to change the look of the car soon (also ordered Toms CF mirrors and Vinyl vents).

Installed mine as well. Took off rear tires so I could use the self tapping screws. I noticed that even on my 10K mile GSF, the front fender area behind the tires has taken a beating. Lexus should have installed these from the factory. They look really nice on the Smokey Mica Granite.

I had to get that area painted on my black ls460 about 80k miles in. These are so worth it and look pretty good too.

If it's John Perez behind the sale you won't get anything but excuses, just message the seller.

They took a while, but they are coming out of NYC, which is Covid haven. I think that is what caused the delay. I got tracking the same day and the box stayed in NYC for at least a week, maybe 10 days. Once it got out of NYC, I got them in 2 days.

Not worried about the vendor, just seeing if anyone's got hung up in NYC as well. Thanks for the responses.

I had the screws that hold the rear guards lost 2 times in shipping, the vendor mailed it 3rd time and I got it. Seems to be a stand up guy. I highly recommend them. One of my friends who has a GS- F sport was amazed the GSF comes with carbon fiber rear wing and lip and also CF mirrors and mud guards stock I let him believe it does.

Installed mine yesterday. I did remove the rear tire for the first rear install, but quickly realized that wasn't needed and installed the other rear without removing the tire. I took some before photos of the drivers side front and rear with about 2-3 weeks of not washing. I'll update with some photos in a couple weeks to hopefully show functionality.

Yea, same here. They help....a little, but don't go low enough. You should send that picture to them and see if they can adjust it.
