Good rear lip match to OEM GFX front lip?
I just bought and installed the GFX front lip from Sewell and must say it was the best mod I made for under 100 bucks. Now I'm looking to mod the back as it seems naked with the new front installed. What is a good rear lip match to the oem gfx front lip? Should I just get the oem rear lip?

If you have pre-09...then I would complete the entire OEM kit...prices are crazy cheap now..another 200.00 and you can get the rear and sides then be complete.

hey how much did you end up paying for the GFX Front Lip off of Sewell? What discount code did you use?
1) I'm interested in purchasing one as well and was wondering also how long did it take to arrive after paying via online?
2) Did it come bent (others have said the fold it when shipped, hard to unfold?)?
3) How easy/hard to install (time, difficulty?)?
4) Drilling of holes necessary?
I REALLY REALLY appreciate your help guys as I have never ordered from Sewell.
Thanks again.

I used the "clublexus" discount code and it ended up 89.99 before shipping and tax. First time with a Sewell purchase was when I bought the F-Sport intake. It arrived 2 days from FedEx after I placed my order. My order was placed 7am in the morning and was sent out to FedEx on the same day. I was so pleased with the speed that I order more stuff immediately.
The lip however took about a week because they ran out of my color and had it paint by a certified Lexus paint shop. Believe me, I couldn't tell it was repainted. Besides, I considered myself lucky that they still have any left with GFX kit being discontinued.
When it arrived, it was in perfect condition. I don't know where you hear about it being bent, but mine was package quite nicely with even a lexus logo on the box. I can't even imagine how one can undo the damage if it came in "bent". That sounds pretty ridiculous to me.
Install time took about 10 minutes with the car on Rhino 8000 ramps, from Autozone. I highly suggest getting ramps, it will save you plenty of trouble when you have to make sure the new lip clips on correctly. Plus you can use them for other purposes, ie) oil change. Installation was a breeze. I did not drill any holes. Heck, the original lip that came with the car didn't held on fine. After taking off the old lip I just swap in the new one with the same old screws. I didn't even use 3M tape. The lip did come with some extra clips that were attached with tape that suppose to clip into the holes you drill. I just yank those off. Drilling and tape seem unnecessary.
Sewell is awesome. Customer services is caring and quick.
