Default GFX Lip Vendor?

Anyone know where I can buy a GFX front lip for a reasonable price? Been searching for the longest time.

You can check with your local Lexus dealership for part number 08154-53831, or alternatively buy it from an online Lexus parts department.

My local Lexus dealer says the part is discontinued.

This place may have it. There isn't any out of stock message in the part info section, which is where it would appear.

Don't bother, I tried ordering a GFX rear lip through them and it said in stock. After waiting for 1 week without any updates from them I decided to give them a call and see what's up with my order, apparently they DON'T HAVE ANY IN STOCK, but claim they do.

Thanks for letting me know! Did you get around to ordering one elsewhere?

Not yet but I always have an eye out on the classifieds and my local craigslist, also check eBay from time to time.

Part is still available in Canada, though it's more expensive up here.

Doesn't show discontinued though, maybe try another Lexus dealership, or email a few online?

Would have bought that from you in a heartbeat! Where did you buy it originally?

Off a member here in classifieds he had it for sale for over a year and no one moved on it. It's one of those parts that not many people go for because there are other options that change the appearance more... but then when you want one you can't find it. I know I saw one for sale in classifieds not long ago but the price is different. You might get lucky at scrap yards since it is an oem piece. Also pay attention to the "look what I got" thread because I've also seen newer members get a new front lip not realizing that they had a gfx that is harder to source... they usually go for the more aggressive lip change at first. When you see it don't post it as a reply send that member a private message or else you could bring unwanted attention to it lol. Good luck! One of my friends knows the guy that bought my car from who I sold it too so it may show up here soon as a new member post. You might get lucky

check your local craigslist ads. seen someone selling OEM front and rear but not sure you want to pay those prices considering you have to paint too. i've seen some reps on ebay too but not sure how good fitment is.

The GFX pre painted kits / parts were cleared out of Lexus USA parts inventory a few years back...

I'm not even sure if they sell the unpainted parts for collision repairs..
