Exclamation Interest for front and rear lips for the ES

Hello fellow ES forum members,

Well, I've been a member for 2 years now and have a 1998 ES 300 and I've done a lot to it in modifications. This post is to see if I can generate or see if there is interest from you all in having available front and rear lower lips for the 2nd Gen, 3rd Gen and maybe 4th Gen ES'. I sent a message to a forum rep. from Extreme Dimensions in Southern Cal to see if they could design and manufacture lips, front and rear for the ES. If there is interest please post on this thread or email the Rep. and let him know your interest and how you heard about it.

Thank you,



The following is my message and response from the Rep:

I currently have a VIS Racing front lower lip that apparently is not being made anymore. I have cracked it in half at the right front corner by the fog light and had to repair and reinforce with fiberglass, reshape, primer and then have repaint. I also have Extreme Dimensions side skirts which I have had no problems with. My request would be for a rear lower lip for my 3rd Gen ES. I have been told that a TRD Camry rear 2 piece lip would work, but TRD no longer makes their body kits for the Camry. So, as you can see, front and rear lower lips are no longer available, but I feel the members on our ES forum would be interested in the add on lower lip kits. I know ED makes full bumper body kits, but that would involve removing the old bumper and replacing it with a fiberglass bumper, which all together would cost a lot to do versus painting and installing, for the most part, on your own lower lip kits. I feel their would be a market for lower front and rear lip kits for the ES.

Thank you,

Robert

Response from Rep:

Try to spark some interest in your forum and see who would be interested in similar items. Maybe we can take your front lip and replicate it into a carbon fiber version as well.

It would definitely be great if they can remake the insanely rare front lip for the 2ES but I was told by them that they would not make it unless they could source one to replicate. If they are willing to do it, then I'm sure many owners would snap one up

Oh Robert, nice of you to spark an idea. But group buys are horrible and never end up working. In the end it will probably be a couple of you. Best of luck regardless.

01LEXPL, this isnt really a group buy, but to generate interest or to see how much interest there is from the ES folks, if they would buy front or rear lower lips. As my first posted stated, the Extreme Dimensions Rep. was looking to see what items they could provide to the Lexus community and I decided to see if they could make lower lip kits for the ES. He then stated if there was enough interest they may manufacture bumper lip kits for our cars.

Well, I am hoping they would design a new lower front or rear lip, but it all depends on the interest of all us fellow ES owners. He did state that since I do have a rare front lip they could easily replicate one and make it out of carbon fiber. It would probably be easier for them to make a mold from existing lips and then make them out of carbon fiber, lighter and stronger than fiberglass. Btw, no offense taken. Everyone has different taste, thats what makes us all unique when it comes to customizing cars.

That is a nice simple lip. It seems that Extreme Dimensions would prefer to replicate, rather than redesign a new front or rear lip. If that is the case, I would be willing to give up my lip for replication and if there are others out there that have other front or rarer rear lip, such as a TRD lip, Extreme Dimensions would like those for replication. But, bottom line is we need to show E.D. that there is alot of interest out there. If there are other Lexus fourms with ES members, please repost or attach a link on the other ES forums. This is a group effort, so please spread the word. Thank you.

I'm in!

I am pushing for the few 4ES owners out there!

I would love to see a front/rear lip for my car, also a rear lip spoiler.

But I want it to be very settle and luxurious, nothing that stands out too much or looks ricey.
