what do you guys think about this body kit? i want to make my gs stand out and i think this body kit would do the job. almost all my friends think it looks good, but i'd like to hear from lexus owners. thanks.

It's the Crux kit. Way too wild for GS. The sides and rears are actually uglier from different angles.

Again that's personal taste. Maybe you like something very aggressive and wild.

There are imitations for this kit.

IMHO, the kit is waaaaayyyyyyy too much for a $40k+ automobile. just my 2cents.

thanks for your opinions, what other body kits you guys think would look good? and do you think i should drop the car first or put the body kit on and then drop it/ or does it matter?

GS4Will

Blitz, Veilside, RMM, auto couture, and wise sport. i like subtle, aggressive look. nothing flashy. the car's presence is felt, instead of showed.

i suggest you take a look at www.gtautosport.com

it all depends pn your budget. i would lower the car first, then decide whcih kit i want.

thanks, nice site. they have some really nice kits. they seem expensive but probably worth it. i guess i'll do some research first and see what kind of a deal i can get. i'm more confused now though, they all look good...

MikeGS4PE

I think that kit looks sweet! I plan on going with that one on my car, but again its perference. Though if I can save up for the Blitz, then maybe.

MikeGS4PE

I don't like the wing though...

zz231

looks nice. i think that's the same kit i included in my post. the crux kit. it's alot less expensive than the kits in gt autosports.

PUTTING a kit on without lowering is really funny looking IMO. lower is probably the most important thing to do first. Then think about rims before a kit. That should be last. But hey, if you like it, then we all like it





My guess is that you saw the imitation Crux kit. Yeah the imitation should cost around 1000 for 4 pieces. The quality is not the best though.

www.spoilers.com Erebuni has Crux and Falcon imitations. Very cheap. Carisma Autotec also carries the imitated Win.Racing and Crux kit also. Very questionable quality.

i'm dropping the car 1" in the next few days. don't you think that saving almost $2000 on the body kit is worth it by going with the imitation kit? how bad is the quality? i'v heard alot about erebuni and haven't heard anybody say a bad thing about the body kits they sell. actually there's a body shop in the area where i live that does the body work for a lexus dealership that installed a lot of erebuni and visracing body kits on lexus'. he swears by them, and thats all he uses.

Have any of you all owner a vette, C5? Its all fiberglass, if that is the issue. Most knock offs are fiberglass, but it isn't the end of the world. Either way you look at it, if you don't crack the kit in the first place, you will not have a problem. If you take the kit to a reputable place, they should be able to make it work.

MikeGS4PE

I would go with wheels and lowering first, then bodykit. Can you imagine pulling off a bodykit with 17" or 16"? It will not look right.

well said, mike

I've heard bad things about Erebuni. Nothing fits right. If you drive an Integra or Civic hatch then ok but no you're driving a Lexus which you should put reputable stuff on.

Most of their stuff is fiberglass. Fiberglass isn't bad, Blitz and many other bodykits are fiberglass. But if Blitz front bumper and fake Crux front bumper both cracked I guess the fake kit will be worse.

If money is not an issue, go with the real kits. If money is an issue, then save up until it is not.

Thanks GlobeCLK...I too think that you should just save up and buy the best for the car, but there is soo much stuff out there....Once you start, IT NEVER ENDS!!!!
