Default Lexus GFX Kit Price Increase
Just two days ago the GFX Kit was $795 at Sewell. Now its back up to $1295. What's up with that?

What I am thinking now is going with the front lip and side skirts. The rear ground effects is not a big deal. I can always buy the rear and get it painted for much cheaper than $1300 bux.

What's an approximate cost to have the rear ground effect painted Obsidian?

Sounds good. However, the largest expense looks like the installation. To have it installed by a local body shop what is the price for professional installation?

I got front and rear installed for about $120... but they were really nice about it. Three hours labor for $40/hr (normally $50-60/hr).

And I can confirm that the exhaust tips DO come with the rear GFX piece.
