Thinking about putting a kit and some wheels on the wifes GS300. Anyone suggestions on a kit with good fitment that doesn't look rice? I am going to search some more right now, but if anyone has any suggestions on what to stay away from I would appreciate it.

nyARISTO

how much u wanna spend............ there not chump change and mostly likely imported from japan (not trying to sound like fast and the furious)

RIPS

personally I like the jdm admiration kit.

Very nice kit I agree! However I am trying to spend somewere at or below $1500. I have this and an SC300 I am going to mod both outside as well as under the hood, so I need to strech the funds a little better.

well there are about 600 copies of the admiration

the 2 best which are reasonably priced titan aerogear agressor and VIS cyber, both have decent fitment.

shoaf213

the cyber kit is on Ebay for around $600 shipped I think, I think that's what I'll go with

Eric-RPS13-

don't get an ebay kit they are not actually VIS

http://www.groundeffex.com/product.php?ProductID=491 talk to them, they might work on price a bit.

I like the version I have because it was made for the jdm fog lights. So no modification. The titan kit takes the u.s. fog lights. On top of that, I requested the middle portion of my front gear not to be made and left as a wide mouth bumper.

It's a lexus and not a honda, go for real body kits and not knockoffs. Thats just my opinion.
Did I mention wald kits are available and only take 2 months from Japan.

lexus4jess

Carson had Wald kits for $1000 and I think there was another link where a shop was selling them for $800 in New York. But all the other JDM kits are worth almost more than the car in most cases - once you pay for paint and everything. JP kit is $4000 on sale. Crazy.

JDM stuff is cool but as long as you don't cruise around with your kit UNPAINTED no one is going to think less of you on here for not going JDM. Here's that link before Carson sold all of their Wald kits.

Your stuff will be sent tomorrow.

As far as the car, I could of gotten a 2nd gen but, if I did, the funds for aftermarket modification would have been very minor. Hence that, I opted for the 1st gen just because no one has the car.


1k is not big baller money for a kit. That is the expected price of a quality product made by a first hand company. There are many jdm kits and they are cost an arm and a leg, could you really get those? I did tons of research over my 3 years as a owner and there are only a handful of kits that are available. The wald is pretty much the only kit I can afford with my budget.

Now back to the knockoff kits, do you really want a kit that resembles ones that people in the 1st gen forums already have. Off the top of my head, I can name 3 people with the admiration kit, be it the admiration style or genuine admiration.

Uniqueness is the main thing I think of when it comes to a body kit. Like how Nyaristo has his veilside front with winn sides and rear.

The veilside kit, there are already 2 people with that kit. EIther way, I am not acting like any elitist or anything because I am not... Yes, I am the second owner of this, but at least I am modding the car the "right" way. As Lexus4jess and I have always stated, don't low ball your car with parts that don't represent what the car is.

It's up to you. I know you have had your kit sitting in your house for over 1 yr, it's either you put it on now, or stop complaining about what you want to do.

Modding is modding, some people put 1k rims on a Lexus and some people like Atsou, Rominl, put 6k rims on their. There reasoning, it's a Lexus not a honda.!

Anyways, I will not beat around the dead dog, too bad the OG member "Manaray" isn't active in posting. I'm sure he would understand what I am talking about.

If your a type of person that likes copies, styles, and knockoff's, get the fake kit. Knockoffs on a Lexus will never even cross my mind. Everyone here most likely purchased their 1st gens under 14k, with lexus4jess spending more for his since he told me. You could of purchased a civic and then have done whatever you want to it via knockoffs and I will support you greatly.

In many other posts, even you agree with me, mod it like it's a Lexus.

I have this same kit, from VIS Racing. Like it alot, except the fact that there was no room to stick in the FMIC, so I had to leave 2JZ swap with side-mount IC.
