Nice man. Please post some side shots. Would like to see if this lip can do without the TRD skirts.

Can't wait to see how it looks. I know the TRD spoilers made an improvement on the looks of my GS.

Make sure to clean the surface where the tape is going the sit is really clean and degreased.
If you have to stick on the rubber weatherstip on the lip youself cut up the spare one you're not gonna use and practise sticking them on before you place the one that's gonna be used in the end.
Once the insides of the weatherstripping touch they are stuck together so have some patience.

Default Paint color

Speaking of this lip, I am quite confused.

Clearly, there is no Graphite Black Glass Flakes for the 2016 GS but 223 is the Lexus color code for Caviar (which I have). So I am wondering if it just a classification error and what they really meant was Caviar.

I think Japan has different names. Even for my white it said something different. As long as the code matches, you are ok. Just make sure with them, you'll have to contact them for a shipping quote anyways.

According to the table on the official TRD site, yes.

Seems to me like big companies only cater to FSport models as far as cosmetic parts are concerned.

When it comes to TRD (F Sport Parts) that is the case.
