Default JayDotP and I want this lip for our 08+? Where can we get it?

Spellted his name wrong. JaytDotP. Sorry man. Contacted Carson and have yet to hear from them about just ordering the front lip. They sell the entire kit, but for $3k? FML

Is this even the oem front lip? I know that's an 06-07 in the picture, but I want the one most similar to this for our 08+. Anyone can lend a hand?


TIA

I wouldn't mind that lip myself.

You're all right. Looking at it again, it is definitely an 08+. The 06-07 look more rounded, while the 08+ have an aggressive edge to the fog light area.

I looked at the mirrors and didn't see the chrome trim and assumed it was an 06. I want that lip bad. Is it an add on like the fabulous rear add-ons for the 2IS?

Anyone know what brand it is?

Just put a call into Carson (L-Tunedparts.com) about just the front lip. Coincidentally they are in the process of getting a quote from Lexus of Japan for the same thing. I should hear back in the next day or two with a price. Oh, and they come prepainted..

Wow, if that's an '08+ GS ( which looks like it from the front end ), then where are the blinkers on the side mirrors?

So at 3k for the complete kit, it's prepainted??

Will this front lip fit an 06-07 model?

He said a few days, I dunno. No hurry for me really. I asked about the entire kit and was quoted the online price of $2600, but never really followed up with the actual price. He said online retail is never the actual price. I asked him if online members get a discount. He said yes and assumed I found Carson Toyota from CL. Not super interested in the whole kit really, but if the front is a reasonable price, I'll be all over that.

And yes, oem kits come painted.
