Hey guys can you please tell me how can i get this lip in Dubai? i've been searching for this lip for a long time. Thanks!

And @Nuke, I agree with ramlawih. It will look a lot better without the foil. And I think you should consider Painting the caliper gloss black with either red Lexus/ F sport logo or grey.

You could do the GS-F orange as shown in this pic.

you surprised? companies have been copying og Japanese kits and a lot of ppl have been buying reps (ie veilside and feels back in the day) for the longest time . sure we have lexus', but ppl are going to get the best deal they can when I comes to anything. you get what you pay for in the end, but if they take care of their stuff, longevity shouldn't be an issue.

Yeah, those look good too. I was going to suggest the black with silver logo but since OP said he was considering Lime green I figured the black wouldn't be bold enough for him.

@Sphinx007

Haha! In all honesty, Real Aimgain kit is the way to go. But my driving involves areas with a lot of bumps and gravel patches and I wouldn't wanna scrape a kit worth $ 4-5k. So, for me the replica makes more sense.
