If I had it to do all over again... I would still choose the Explosion kit.
I love the way the bottom sides of the bumpers flare out a little and
the side skirts naturally flow with the lines. I also like the round fog
lights and the way the front opening mimics the shape of the grille -
like Lexus would have designed it if they offered a GS Sport model.
The only thing with the Explosion kit ... the cross-brace in the center
opening needs to be removed for a clean look (as I have done).
I definitely prefer bumper replacements to add-on kits,
but I did consider the Wald Executive.
I also like the L-Sportline, but it might be too subtle.
The JP kit is cool, but the side panels with the big notches
(necessary to allow the doors to open) are distracting.
JP definitely makes the best GS spoiler.
Some of the Vertex and similar kits are quite aggressive
and can be pulled-off with a more "sportive" look on the GS
(including wheels, aftermarket hood, intercooler, big brakes, etc.)
Here's my Explosion full kit (with JP rear spoiler and L-Sportline
roof spoiler)
