Would it look odd to just add the OEM Front Air Dam by itself ?

Would it look odd to just add the OEM Front Air Dam by itself (no side skirt or rear skirt)?

Is it difficult to install it yourself? I'm thinking of getting one since Sewell Lexus is having the sale.

it's easy, it took me about 1hr and I didn't even jack the car up, I did that before my car was lowered. If you jack the car up and remove the two front wheels, it shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes.

i think if you want to keep the stock height, just adding the front air dam is perfect. But if you're gonna drop it then slam it and keep it stock.

I don't think there is any need to remove the front two wheels...

The front air dam does is not really any lower than the stock air dam (maybe 1mm or 2)... So it doesn't matter if you lower the car or not...

DIY for the front spoiler (this should help you out):

Just the front air dam is fine. I think the kit's sideskirts look almost exactly like stocks anyway and wont be worth the cost, nobody would know you had them on almost, and the kit's rear bumper cover disturbs the smooth flow of stock bumper anyway and forces you to cut the rear bumper to install it. No thanks!

Alrighty, I just placed an order for the Front Air Dam at Sewell Lexus. That DIY was very helpful since I can just bolt it on without cutting or drilling. I agree, the sideskirts look like stock and the rear bumper skirts makes the back end look boxy and tall.

OFF TOPIC: what do you guys think about the stock front lip and the FAbulous rear two pieces add on?

Well, the stock front lip doesn't really look like anything, its just an extension of the bumper shape. It doesn't look bad or anything, its just....stock.

what is this fabulous rear two piece add on you speak of?
