Default OEM Aero Kit - Front Lip and Rear Bumper

Best place to find these....for the OEM stuff, preferably painted.

The prices are all over the place on this stuff so I thought i'd ask here.

The GFX rear bumper is $160 and painted at Sewell, but I can't find the front lip there.

On L-Tuned parts, we're looking at $575 for the rear bumper and $575 for the front lip, but neither look like they are painted.

*edit* I just called L-Tuned and the parts guy there says that the front and rear bumpers are shipped as the whole assmbly, and not just a lip that you bolt on to the existing bumper. He also said that they *do not come painted.

What gives?

TIA.

I've got a 2011. Only option for a 2011 seems to be the F-Sport upgrade which is $1500. Yikes.

that's the lip offered for 2011. 2 inserts under the fog light. Lexus went downhill with the 2011 models

$211 at sewell

on another note, why is 09/10 GFX lips so expensive compared to 06-08 and 2011+

When I was looking for my replacement gfx front lip I called a few dealers within driving distance and no one had the front in stock. One of the guys told me to order off of Sewell's.

Ooooo that 1500 is the entire bumper and other stuff right??? I think lexus went uphill with the 2011 model lol. But I will agree that the 09 lip was reallly expensive compared to the 06.

Ok, so I need some clarity on the 2011 F sport front lip add ons as I was also looking at getting these. Will these fit the regular 2011 bumpers? Mines the IS 350 AWD, and secondly, what holes do you have to cut to make it fit? Will 3M not work keeping it in place?

I've ordered the front ones for my non-F-Sport 2011. I reckon you might be able to get them on with just 3M, but I plan on making the holes in my bumper.

Jeff, do u happen to have the part numbers for the 2 front bumper add ons? Secondly, Sewell's website says the add ons will only fit the Fsport bumpers, I assume they are wrong and they will fit the regular bumpers? If so im going to order them too. Thanks in advance.
