Default Lexus of Japan - Lip Kit

EDIT: After seeing this GS450h (found here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=390238) I would like to know what all of your feedback is regarding the 2008 Lexus of Japan lip kit for the GS. I think it's nice, very tasteful, and has the right touch of sportiness. I also think it's a bit "borderline too subtle" but overall, still a winner.

the pics:

Agreed, of course it's nice but way too subtle and way too expensive for what it is.

word... at just under $3k, you would sort of want a little more. then again it's a factory JDM kit, and it just happens to be out of the lexus factory o_0

3 large! For that! Kinda gives an IS look in the front and a kinda Pep Boys stick on kit for the rear. Hold that thought while I offer some real nice stick on Hood Scoops for a mere 1,000 that'll go well with the window vents. NG on this kit!

Yeah, don't think it's worth it. A big drop with give you a better look for less price.

i'm not feeling it for the front lip. rear is just so-so. overall, it's just too subtle, no one knows you got a kit on. and the asking price of $3K? i would rather spend that kind of money on a good aftermarket kit like aimgain, job design, or (enter your favourite kit here).
