Default Carbon Fiber Lip?

Is there one for the 2nd gen GS? I am thinking about putting on a carbon fiber front lip with a carbon fiber hood! I would want something like the TTE! Small. Not to big because I want to keep the sides and rear that are OEM! I would also do the door sills in the CF!

Here is a pic of the GS!

damn, your gs is clean. nice color too.
am pretty sure a carbon fibre lip can be made but since its not readily available, you would have to find someone/company to custom-make it for you.
good luck

I am trying to get rid of all the chrome. I am about to paint all the chrome trim gunmetal. The grill mesh will also be GM. My trunkbar, headlights, center dash, and wheels are GM. I was thinking about doing my door sills GM if I cant get a lip for a reasonable price! I have a feeling a custom lip will be a little out of my price range. It would look sweet though!

Edit: I dont know if sills is the right term. I am talking about the pillars on the doors!

nah man the sill are the ones when you open the doors that say Lexus. The ones you are talking about are pillars. Nice clean looking car. I dont know I like the way your car looks a tte lip or the abflug would set it off nice. But I dont know about the carbon fiber hood. I guess I would have to see it on your car. Good luck and nice looking car.

I have never been a fan of the CF hood. But the more I see the CF color I think it will look good with my color. Maybe someone can photoshop one on there for me? I was never a fan of GM until I saw it on my color combo just fyi.
