Default Just got my first Lexus

Hello everyone,

I need some advice please. I just bought a 2009 GS350 AWD. I'm interested in getting the Aimgain kit for it but, I've heard the 09's got a slight face lift therefore, the kit will not fit. Anyone have this kit on a 09? One more thing, is there anyone you guys recommend purchasing from?

Thanks in advance

Chris

Congrats on the GS and welcome to Club Lexus

As for your question, sorry I don't know the answer. I'm not too familiar with the 3rd gen GS. There are alot of knowledgeable folks here hopefully someone can chime in

There is no facelift in the 09 GS from the 08. The 08 had a facelift, you can see this where the daytime lights run. More chrome on the 08-09's.

I think Aimgain's body kit for 08+ should fit your 09 since like 1989Lexus said, the facelift was in 08. There's no 09 facelift.
