Being as thick as they are, they are going to be version 2 spacers with studs already installed. Longer bolts are not needed.

Nice Mods!
How (or who) did you black out the exhaust tips? Thanks

Default Black out front bumper

How did you black out the front bumper as well as the chrome trim? It looks great!

There are bumper garnishes that are made by manufacturers like Skipper and LX Mode that tend to be a little pricey for the front bumper. Others have had a body shop paint the section black, or vinyl wrapped it along with vinyl wrapping the chrome trim. If you are inclined, you can do it yourself or have a shop take care of it for you for a few hundred bucks.

PlastiDip is another option: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...me-trim-2.html

Here's a vid of vinyl wrap on a 2014 GS F sport:

Thanks for all of the info. It's helpful.

Which option do you think would best match the color and sheen of the grill? I'd like it to just blend right in with the grill. So, for example, if the grill is more of a matte sheen, then I wouldn't want a glossy black bumper.

Thanks.
