i don't think it would just based off of reading that the wheelbase has changed lengths in these models but you could look this up in wikipedia (ls430) to confirm. the rear bumper may fit, but i'm not sure... check out the kits on l-tuned to see what they say... or just call up l-tuned (carson toyota).

i guess i was backwards ^ ^ ^... front and rear fascia changed but wheelbase remained the same... good catch. so like dude said above only side skirts should fit. i must have been thinking about the whole L wheelbase on the new 460 instead of ucf30 II or ucf31...
