Default Lexus GFX Kit Price Increase

Just two days ago the GFX Kit was $795 at Sewell. Now its back up to $1295. What's up with that?

What I am thinking now is going with the front lip and side skirts. The rear ground effects is not a big deal. I can always buy the rear and get it painted for much cheaper than $1300 bux.

front lip $188
sides $119
rear $119

what's up with that?

If you buy them seperate, I believe they are not painted as they are considered replacement parts.
