Default L-tuned side skirts

I want to buy these l-tuned skirts, I can get them local too, but i was wondering how you think it will look with a TTE front lip and stock rear bumper, Im not looking to change the rear bumper at all, I feel if i put the skirts the rear will look out of place, I want your opinions guys, thanks

here's some thread that have some pics of my car since I'm at work: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=292080

The TTE lip and L-Tuned sides flow very well together as does the stock bumper if you stay stock, here is a pic of my old GS, if you search the gallery you will find many more.

I have the l-tuned skirts and tte lip and stock rear bumper...hopefully this angle helps give you a visual with the stock rear bumper. These are old pics as my car sits much lower now..


and with the tte front lip..


I think the tte lip and l-tuned sides is one of the more common setups, though the l-tuned sides are hard to come by now.

Hope that helps...

The TTE lip and ltuned skirts look great together. It gives the gs a subtle face lift.

imo the l-tunes flow even with stock bumpers, especially on dark cars you can hardly tell they're there unless you know to look.

You won't find a better fitting combination than this!





Good luck!

If you don't want to change your rear bumper you can always try a lip like this. It completes the the look of the body kit yet it can be taken off any time...

I've always liked that for the rear bumper and I am considering it. It's the tte rear lip correct? I think this is the first time I have ever seen it on someone's car here on CL. Very nice

you don't need aftermarket bumpers with l-tunes. even in the old l-tune pictures they had stock bumpers........
