Default Tom's Racing or Junction Produce

me and my friend are in debate and I'm looking for more opinions. we like both of these bodykits for the 2004/05 LS430, Junction Produce and Tom's Racing. take a look at this link:
http://www.l-tunedparts.com./model/s...12&model_id=16

this has the Tom's Racing body kit. I like it alot, better than the Junction Produce because the kit, especially the side skirts and front bumper, has more lines (curvy appeal) which I think makes it look more aggressive than the Junction Produce kit. My only problem is the rear bumper, it looks like a portion is cut off. this link has the Junction Produce kits:
http://www.junction-produce.co.jp/en...gue/index.html

the Junction Produce is my friends favorite as it has a more subtle look than the Tom's Racing kit. I like the JP kit but I like body kits with the body lines(again curvy appeal) and I don't see it as much in the JP kit. with either kit I would add the Wald fenders, which would give an even more sex appeal along with the Fabulous trunk spoiler and a roof wing. hey, we men have 2 beautiful things on this planet to view and enjoy: women and a nice luxury car, especially the LS430!!

what is everybody's thoughts??

To pic out of the 2....I would say the JP kit....the TOM's kit makes the LS430 look like an MB S-Class....but my favorite would have to be the WALD Kit!!!!

The wald is a nice kit but the JUNCTION Produce KIT is simply an amazing full body kit and not just a lip kit..



Also, Junction recently came out with their own line of fenders..If you would like more info and prices for the Junction Produce kit, contact john at:

thanks for the e-mail, I left John a message. hey question for you or anyone, in the Galleries LS430 section on the 5 page there's a pic of a white LS430 with the TOMS Racing kit. it looks like he had custom work done to the rear bumper, from the TOMS website the bumper is cut out where it is not flush with the exhaust. is this the case??

This pic, correct?



From what I can see, there's definitely been some custom work done to the rear bumper...the add on rear lip has been molded in to give it a cleaner one piece look, so I wouldn't be surprised if they filled in the cut out area either. I'm sure a good body shop will be able to fill that empty space in for you if that's what you want. And FYI, the side skirts in that pic are not Tom's side skirts...it looks like they might be Junction Produce Sports.

yep BR1AN, thats the pic i was talking about. I figured that was molded, I like the TOMS Racing kit, I like the lines, i think it gives it a more sporty look. i wish in that pic he had the side skirts too to finish it off. i would get the Junction roof spoiler and rear decklid spoiler to finish it off with a set of 21" Lowenhart LD1 rims

that toms kit is sweet. there something to be said for integration as opposed to the cheezy add on look. thats why the amg kits look so great. integration.

I think the Wald is more Classy. Goes well with the whole Lexus look. Doesn't stray too far from the stock look.
