Default ::pic request:: rear lower lip kits

I got tired of not knowing what to do next to the vehicle and went ahead and treated myself to the tanabe touring from mvp. does anyone have a clear photo of their own vehicles with a lower rear lip on? since the canisters will hang a bit lower/bigger with the oem bumper it might look funny. all the photos ive searched for is either a copy of carsons/ltunedparts site photos which is very small and hard to even tell. I want something that will match the TTE front lip and oem sides, if you have any photos of your own or someones personal vehicles with a lower lip please post them up!

i am not looking for a replacement bumper and i am not replacing the sides since my driveway is steep. i already scrape the oem's with 1 passenger extra. so far ive seen the TTE rear lip, Toyota japan rear lip. any others out there? looking for polyurethane kits only. Thanks!

I had the same dilemma. Most of the rear lips I've seen for the GS just don't flow well. They are basically like half bumpers and definitely don't compliment the TTE very well in my opinion. That left me with two options. Get a full replacement rear bumper or get the Tom's rear lip/insert. I decided to get both. I like both of them but in the end I decided to go with a full RMM rear bumper. I like the RMM rear because it is slightly more aggressive than stock but does not have that effect of looking too aftermarket. That's the same reason I like the TTE Lip and the L-tuned sides. So probably next week I will put everything in for paint and install it.

If you are interested in the Tom's rear, I have it for sale in the classifieds. Good luck with whatever you choose...

i was actually looking at your link about your toms for sale before this post. since i have a black car it is really hard to even see that it is there. i think the seller whazzzup had this as well on a black vehicle before his accident & made me skeptical if i should just stay oem or not. i did not really get a good full clear look at how the toms look on a dark colored car though. do you have a pic of it mounted compared to our stock?
