That's pretty much the question. I am super nervous about putting something more obtrusive on the front, being the car is already lowered (F-springs). But I LOVE the rear GFX and am about to throw one on. Would it look totally retarded having it on only in back? Or, how much in the way would the front one be in regards to regular driveways?
Thanks.
Thanks.

OP: F-Sport springs provide a VERY modest drop, so unless it's a crazy steep driveway you won't scrape. As others said, the stock front lip and GFX front lip have similar clearance.
MothIS: Your signature says "F-Intake." I think you should change it to "F-Sport Intake" to be consistent. It's kinda bothering me.
Post pics of your mirror signal too!

Okay, I wasn't aware the front GFX was the same height as stock. But it does stick out more, right? So coming up to parking stumps, I'd have to get used to stopping sooner?
Back to the rear GFX. I like the GFX tailpipe tips, but never seen them for sale anywhere. Where are people getting them and is it a Lexus part?

^ Barely. If you can park on top of them with the stock front lip, you could probably do so with the GFX one. I think the exhaust tips are included with the rear GFX, double check with the vendor though. If all else fails, people sell them in the classifieds for like $20-$40.

Here's my take. I originally bought all the pieces, but they were coming in at different times. I installed rear only for a few days and it looked ok. After installing the sides too, it looked a little better. I didn't care for the front, but ordered it to complete the kit. I'm glad I did get the front because it's starting to grow on me. Plus it flows well with the rest of the sides and rear.
As for the tips, they should be included with your gfx rear. Tips should be in the center portion of the box. If you are looking for just the tips, I saw that sewell has just the tips for sale $107 and the stock ones for $55.

I am also dropped on F Sport springs and have the GFX front and rears. When I pull up to a parking bump stop, it still clears, however barely. It doesn't scrape, but I can't get a finger in between the lip and the bump stop. It's that close.

Thanks for the additional info on scraping. I checked out Sewell and the prices were lower than I thought. I think at this point, the styling of the front lip is what's holding me back. I have never been too fond of it, but I love the way the rear fills in the tailpipe area. I think I'll study more photos and see if I can get more used to it. That usually works!
Thanks.
Thanks.
