when the suspension compresses it will camber in and most likely will tuck and with the stretched tire probrably doesn t rub either.

I believe any full bumper replacement isn t going to be cheap as for something made in the states its going to be a knockoff and we don t promote those here right Henry!!! lol Try looking at the Job design kits, Artisan Spirits V2, or Admiration they are pretty popular nice authentic kits.

Welcome to the ings+1 world. It's quite a bit of modifying and fitting for the 08+ GS, I assume?

there any threads on here that talk about any of these specifically or pics? Ive bought some really nice bumpers for the supra manufactured in the states that were really nice,some are sim to jap makes with slight changes.main diff was they were half the cost and no waiting or crazy shipping prices

i have the job design kit ..fitment is like a replica kit ..total garbage..other then that i love how it looks. if you can find a replica get it cause you'll need the same amount of work to get it to fit so why waste all your money on a real one when a replica is the same quality...if you dont tell people its fake no one will know...good look hope you find what you want

I think Job Design must be really bad quality, a friend of mine bought a Job Design kit here in Australia and said how bad the fitment was and how flimsy the side skirts were, at first I didnt believe him, but after seeing the above post it confirms just how crap there quality kits are. A brand like that you are paying for there quality, name and style

I like the car, except for how you butchered the guards, If you wanted to run that hellaflush setup you should of stretched the tyres more instead up lipping the guards.
