Thanks for the complements guys.
SC400_408, to answer your question. The ground effects kit replaces all the original parts for the side skirts and front lip. The rear lip is the only one that is placed on top of the original bumper cover.


Here's the car at HIN in San Mateo, California this past weekend.

That's a rip off. Just goto lexus-parts.com and request a quote for those longer OEM tips that comes with the Ground Effects package. I got a quote a couple weeks ago and it's $45/tip = $90

YOu can't find the tips in their regular catalogue so you must use the parts inquiry form.

or just ask if LDYNRED is willing to sell hers since she's got the LMS exhaust already!

Nice job and thanks for posting the pics. I've been wanting to get the same kit, but I've been quoted $1200 from my dealer. Anyone know how to get a better deal?

Do you mean the longer one like this.

The longer ones compared to the shorter OEM ones.


I actually have a brand new set of the longer ones that I'm thinking of selling. It's not the ones that came with the wifies kit. These are brand new.
PM me if anyone is interested.

Man that rear bumper lip REALLY makes those reflectors look out of place! I hate those things.

hm...so the rear bumper has to be cut in order to install the rear gfx kit? I thought you should just wedge it or force it into place?

Isn't there a way to install the rear without cutting anything?

judging by the install pictures, it looks like you would need to trim the lip isntead, and use 3m double face foam tape.

in particular you'd probably have to trim that area by the exahust cutouts on the lip, i'd guess.
