Modellista Lip Non F Sport

I wish I bought the F Sport as well. Since I didn't I'm currently having a body shop paint me my f sport bumper so I can do the conversion. Should have it back and mounted in a few days.

The bumpers are different in shape but I believe the overall fitment to the front-end of the GS is the same for both bumper types. Folks have done the swap on some Lux model GS's with the standard bumper, to get the F-Sport look bumper with their Base/Luxury package GS. Swapping the bumper will also mean getting new f-sport mesh top/bottom grille (https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...arts-list.html)

I remember another member had used an eBay lip that was specifically designed for the f-sport front bumper but made it work with his non-F sport bumper...https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...rt-bumper.html

you have to remember that an item like this is pretty large when you fit it into a rectangular box and since this item is also a japan only item... it doesn't help. Regular EMS air freight costs is about $350 for something of this size... I paid $300 to ship my Modellista side skirts from Japan but I also made the package worth the cost by adding in a set of visors in the box and this was with EMS air freight.

I hear what you are saying, but any vendor who deals in JDM parts probably buys in bulk , and gets everything sent at once a couple times a year... I guarantee it wouldn't cost more than 150$ tops to mail the lip from Cali... I'm sure even if I emailed Nigel for a better deal he would tell me to get lost as I'm sure he's read this post, so I probably put my foot in my mouth.

I agree and am also now doing the F Sport conversion (bumper being painted as we speak). The F Sport conversion is not that expensive and you could even get a knock-off lip afterwards and still pay less than a good non F Sport lip alone from what I've seen! Best of luck on the conversion!
