A new Japanese aero parts manufacturer just released their new carbon aero lip kit for the GSF and coincidentally they used an orange GSF for their demo car . It's not exactly Molten Pearl but you get the idea.

I'll be posting up a separate thread on the kit in the vendor section, but I had to share this photo here because it was just too fitting.

Check it out....


Gorgeous! Looks like a true ISF successor.....albeit $15,000 overpriced

Haha, agreed. However, that kit in the photo in my initial post is a third of that cost so not bad at all.

I went to your Photobucket page- pls tell me about the "other" GS F pictured... it looks like Liquid Platinum or is it Nebula Grey? Kinda hard to tell in the shadows ( I think it's LP)...thanks! I like the Novel Carbon Lip kit. It seems to tie the car in better. Thanks.

BTW, I'm not big on the orange calipers regarding the OP...YMMV...

Ahh!! That Nebula Grey GS-F is from a Lexus dealer in Canada. They were one of the first GS-F's to sport the new SUMERU aero kit. It's gorgeous. I'm not sure how I like the Orange calipers paired with the grey but the more I look at it, the more it works for me haha... funny how that works.

The NOVEL kit and the SUMERU kit definitely have their differences. I like both for different reason's. The NOVEL front lip is a lot more angular and has a more dynamic shape. The SUMERU front lip is straight, simple, but sits lower so it offers the front end a more aggressive profile.

Both are great. I LOVE the GS-F!! It just looks so good.

Here's another pic for your enjoyment!! Sorry for jacking the thread... this will be the only photo that is not Molten Pearl.

NO DERAIL INTENDED!!! heehee

I'm glad that's NebulaGrey, as it seems to have a deeper character than the LP car's I've seen, yet still had a bright sheen at certain angles. A more complex color (which is what I prefer). Thanks! (and thanks for that extra pic!! that just pushed me over the top!)

And yes, I would agree, the orange calipers have to go. Black would have been the correct choice, esp on this color. IMO, YMMV, etc. How is the fitment of the Sumeru fitment? Agreed, both kits have good and bad. Overall I like the Sumeru better (esp the side skirts) but the Novel front lip I like very much. If both were combined that might be a hit....now back to the original MOLTEN PEARL TOPIC!

Molten Pearl looks damn good in the sunlight. There's so much depth. Same with USB, Infra Red, and Liquid Platinum.

The color does grow on you after awhile. It definitely sticks out like a sore thumb
