Default New Body Kit from Carson Toyota/Lexus Parts

I was over at Carson and checked out the new body kit from Carson guys. It is going to be the best kit for the GS yet. Not too aggressive and has fantastic lines which flow from the stock lines. Steve and Luis really did their homework on this one.

As soon as it is done, I will personally get some good shots for you guys. I promise it won't disappoint , just give us a few more days. I think after it's finished there will be a whole lot more in here, with a little bit of

Hi. I am already on your email list when the kit is ready for sale but I haven't gotten my Neiman Marcus Edition GS 450h yet. Will you be able to match the special "crystalline ice" paint? If my car arrives in April or May, GOD WILLING, I'd like to immediately have the job done by you guys. Please let me know if you'll be able to get the matching paint. I'm prepared to put a deposit if you'd like. Thanks!

Yes we can color match it at our body shop, there doing the paint and install on our first kit and will end up doing many more I predict, they have one of the best painters in town! No need to leave a deposit, I'm hoping to have pictures up within the next 2 weeks and you can see it yourself

I'm glad that you'll be able to match the paint. I was afraid that the Neiman Marcus Edition paint might be hard to get ahold of at the beginning since they're only making 75 of them. How long will the whole process take? The moment the car is ready for me in Oakland, I'd like to drive it down to you and have it done immediately so in order for me to plan things right, I need to know how long I'll need to leave the car with you. Thanks and I look forward to having my car done by you!

By the way, I checked out your site and WOW!!!!!

Congrats on the purchase. You may consider getting a clear bra or some other form of protection before you make the drive to Carson. I-5 will not be kind to your front bumper.
