Hi to all you fellow GS owners. I have been bitten by the mod bug! I got in on the L-Tuned GB and it has all been down hill from there!

I have a 98 imperial jade green mica GS400 with stock rear spoiler, L-Tuned side skirts, and L-Tuned grill and I am looking for front and rear bumpers to finish the body work. I plan on going with 19 or 20 inch rims (leaning towards the L-Sportline model 3) and the TEIN CS coilovers I am currently considering:

L-Sportline front and rear: I really like the more aggressive look of this bumper, but I am not sure how it will line up with the L-Tuned sides. Also not sure how the rear will look with a stock exhaust.

RMM front / stock rear: Another popular combo on Club Lexus. The only thing I don’t like is the slat across the lower opening, but it’s not a deal breaker.

Tom’s front / ? rear: I love the lines on this bumper, but I don’t know how well it will flow with the L-Tuned sides. What should I do with the rear?

TTE front lip / stock rear: This seems to be a pretty common combo. Subtle but classy.

Give me your opinions. And please don’t limit your suggestions to just the four choices I mentioned above.

Thanks,

James

just curious have you looked at www.l-tunedparts.com

CaptainBone has the TOMS front with Ltuned sides. Looks great.
PandaGS430 has the Greddy add on lip with the Ltuned sides. Looks great.
MANY others have the TTE lip with the Ltuned sides and that looks good as well... (Hameed's is sweet)

I do think CaptainBones combo and Pandas are a couple of the best here on CL though.

Which Tom's front are you talking about?

The L-Tuned sides are very subtle so almost any bumper can "work", with some beint more optimal than others. Of the ones on your list, the TTE lip is very popular because 1. It looks good, 2. It is readily available and 3. It is affordable.

I am not sure of the availability of the other parts. L-sportline does not have a visible presence but you may still be able to get parts. RMM is similar. Tom's will be coming from Japan so it can take awhile. If I had to choose, I like the L-Sportline since the way the lines is not that defined at the wheel well which makes it blendable with other subtle sides like L-Tuned. The RMM will blend OK too but it is too boxy to blend well with the curves of the L-Tuned. Anyway, just my .02 .

i think most all of the options u mentioned would flow nicely. i would do the l-sport front with the l-tuned sides u have and l-sport rear. the rmm imo would flow just right aswell but i think it would flow better with the l-sport front and rear. the tte lip is the norm here with the l-tuned sides so its up to u if u want to do the same. the tomes is very nice but it needs fog lights imo...good luck in u'r search...

I would go with the L-sportline Front and Rear...the lines flow really nicely and it would give a nice sporty look that i'm pretty sure you want to achive

Captain Bone

TOM's is nice.

It is a little pricey unless you find a good deal though.

Also remember there are two versions... V300 and the other.

Other = s630.

VA300 = Captain Bone's car..
S630 = redgs4's car.

Hameed

My vote is for the Toms's S630 front bumper and L-sportline rear.

At least that is what I plan to do some day.............. don't know when.

Does anyone make driving lights that fit the VA300 that don't require alot of custom fabrication?
