Exclamation Lexus GS by Job Design

What you see here is the proof that tuning can make a vehicle simply unuseful. After last week we saw the Mercedes-Benz CLS550 prepared by Job Design, today we see the new Lexus GS customized by the same tuning house.

As you can see the tuning kit of the Japanese tuner includes a new front bumper, new side sills, a new rear air diffuser with exhaust cutters and a new suspension system to bring the car closer to the ground. Also a new set of alloy wheels were added in order to complete this “stylish” kit.

That rear diffuser looks great!

I like!

Do you think the rear bumper will work with a Tanabe?

Dang this kit is nice........ mayb a little crazy and not dig the grey but dang..... it looks nice. This would fit a 06-07 GS right considering it is a full body kit? Also this kit looks similar to the IS job design kit but it works so much better on the GS :P

Yup, The five axis GS also looks sick getting debut at Sema in November!

I keep looking at the rear, seems like a real rear diffuser, not bad, could be better but good enough!

I'm lovin' the front bumper! I like the concept of a diffuser for the rear but I think they could've executed it better. The rear looks a bit like something out of Need for Speed video game.

^ Don't worry. Give it 2 months and they'll have a quad stacked exhaust out the back. The "Hybrid" kit for the LS used factory outlets with a job design diffuser. Then then introduced another diffuser that used their special tips IS-F style. Sooooo sweet.



I'm confident they will do the same thing to the GS. I mean look at the diffuser they left the space for it...

is this supposed to be a sarcastic put down or compliment? i don't know what their angle is... either way they sound like a bunch of dicks

EDIT: by "they" i'm referring to the people over at 4wheelsnews, not slick... just wanted to put that on the record :]

2) is this designed for 2008 GS?

^ Ya and who cares. I'm guessing that the diffuser in person is extremely impressive. I wish that would've added a set of LED reflectors over those exhaust tips.

That easily one of the baddest 3gs's I have ever seen. I love the dumped look. Looks really hardcore
