Default ings Rear Lip (pic)

I don't paint the whole Rear Lip in SGM but leave some portions unpainted (Black).
Can you tell the difference?

nice pics.. you left the rippled section black right? I think you need front and sides too because you can kinda tell the back hangs lower than the rest of the body now

Is it me, or the fit not quite flush? Maybe it's the paint, or maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me... Anyway, I love the way this rear kit looks on your car - I want one for mine!

I'm seeing the same thing. Doesn't appear to line up with the original bumper.

I knew this kit would look good on darker colors! it looks greats! I can't really spot the black either...can we get a close-up?

I think this kit looks weird on the lighter color cars...like the white ING uses as the demo car for the pics. But maybe that's because they painted the rippled section black...in any case on darker car the rear lip is very sexy!

Can't tell the difference with the unpainted parts. Are you getting any front or sides? Rear hangs lower now.

I think this kit looks REALLY NICE!

But for me its not intended for darker color cars... (No offense)

It definitely shows its lines better in lighter color cars..

That's why INGS used a WHITE car don't you think???

I would rather go with the OEM style GFX kit... subtle and stylish!

Anyways... PROPS to eddiec for being UNIQUE!

I agree, I won't do that to mine. Ground effect is nice though!

HaHa..You been here before? You're right. It's Taiwan.

To be frank, I won't add any other front lip or side skirt in the near future. According to this experience, this rear lip is just an add-on. Therefore, it is very hard to fit perfectly. You will need extra 3M tape or glue. And what is more important, it is not an original Lexus body kit. So you need to paint it

I will consider the body kit of IS500 if it is available
