Ground Effects Kit Finally Installed.
#16
Red,
Where did you order the kit? I was told It is not available yet.
Was it required to remove the rear bumper or was this the "Male ****" approch to doing it right?
Did you have to change the tips and did you have to lower the mufflers to fit the new rear?

grats!! glad you enjoy your bodykit. when i first saw the kit on lexus.com i was a bit disappointed. i thought the entire kit is barely noticeable and doesn't improve lines at all.
i'm waiting for an aftermarket kit that will blend more with the edges without sticking out too much, while making the car appear closer to the ground without lowering. that, and 19" HREs and i'm set

Rear bumper removal was required, since some drilling is needed to secure the piece. Wasn't "male ****" this time
Not sure about the tips, but they came with the kit. Didn't have to do anything with the mufflers either. Hope this helps!

Do us all a favor and take a pic with your car next to a stock one. I wanna see the difference between stock and the one with body kit. Maybe it's just me but i don't really notice a big difference in look on the side skirt maybe i just buy a front kit only, still debating...

I'm not trying to be rude at all, I just cannot notice much of a difference in your upgrades versus the stockers (other then the lip).

LDYNRED, how are those new exhaust tips different from the stock ones? While examining my exhaust pipe (I mean the car's), I saw an inner black pipe surrounded by the outer chrome tip; but I couldn't tell how the outer one was secured or how it could be removed. I would like to put on larger tips (like the ones on SC430 or G35C) without messing with the muffler/exhaust system.
