Hi guys,
Recently I had put my eyes upon fabolous front lip kit not knowing that it was disconitued for 2009+. I was thinking about GFX kit since it is similiar to fabolous front lip kit. However, should I purchase the whole gfx kit or just the front lip? What is your take guys.

i was thinkin about gettin the whole kit for my 2010 but i might just buy the front now and get the sides & rear later. its ok to rock the front lip by itself, but are yu planning get a sides & rear from another kit?

Full kit is better, but it's up to you, front lip only is not bad either.

I'd go with the full kit. I finally got around to put my rear lip on. I did the 3m tape install w/o drilling. It came out pretty well.

I just went to home depot and got 3m tape. The gfx rear has some tape on there already, I just put extra to make it secure.

I am not sure =P. I might get the vertex sides with gfx front and rear. I think that will look nice.

Yea thanks for the reply. I might get the full kit to since the rear and side is very cheap in sewell, which also comes painted I think. Correct me if im wrong =)
Hey meangene. I never had experience with 3m tape? The possibility of the kit coming off the car high since its taped?

It could possibly come off over time, I searched the forum alot before I decided to go with the 3m tape solution. I just didn't want to do any drilling just incase I sell the car or get tired of the rear bumper.

If the area you're applying the 3m tape is cleaned properly I'm pretty sure it'll hold up. A lot of members apply 3m tape to their roof and trunk spoilers with no problems.

I guess it depends on how the surfaces are cleaned.

The OEM GFX kits come painted in most factory colors. A lot of people install the rear piece only using double sided tape and have no problems. I went the route of installing it drilling, cutting etc. A word of warning: If you decide to install the rear piece the way Lexus intended it to be installed, there's no going back as you have to drill a bunch of holes in your bumper and you'll have to cut out a part of the bumper around the exhausts. If you ever get bored and decide to go with a different kit, you'll more than likely have to replace your rear bumper cover.
