When I purchased my GS 450 H it was in great shape however it had a bunch of road rash and rock chips on the front end, I added up replacing the front and bumper cover and repainting it… It looks absolutely new.

Beautiful ride MSAGRO! Love the color of your car. It looks like it had some nice options/packages too.

By the way, add me your friends list on here I like to the round up all the 4GS hybrid owners on ClubLexus.

Nice GS... same color as my wife's! Just wondering, why you did not get Fsport bumper if you had to buy a new one anyway?

That's a great question shurik. I thought about replacing it with the F sport bumper, but I would be losing the fog lights. I know that there is a JDM set that I could buy but they're expensive, I just wanted to upgrade the front end so that it looked new.

It looks good either way. I'm a purist so I'm down with keeping it original. Now the Fsport bumper is a nice upgrade if you chose to do it but yeah, you'd lose the fogs.either way, it's a nice ride and you did right by replacing those panels.

Wrong... you wont lose fog lights at all, all what you need is to get fog lights inserts / bezels that you can find online. Fsport bumper already have ****/tabs ready for fog light install. I converted my wife's w/out any issues.

The only questions, if you want to keep base or Fsport grille (upper & bottom). Some people stay with base though, looks good as well...

Shurik, I was thought that your front end looks great. I actually talk to the guy that put on the new bumper about the F sport but with the bumper F sport grill(s) and the fog lights… It was twice what I budgeted.

I agree... If you buy complete grille it's way too much from a dealership...

Well pardon the ever loving **** out of me.

Thanks for clearing that up Richard.
