Question L-tuned Aero Kit

I'm thinking of purchasing the L tuned aero kit through Lexus-parts.com for 1274.00. Seems like a decent deal considering your getting the skirts and the laser cut grill already painted. I like the RMM grill and L sportline grill which are a bit cheaper but have heard they don't fit as well. . Any opinions? Also, does anyone one have any recomendations for a good body shop in L.A. (prefer S.F. valley) that could do the install for me?

thanks,

Lev

Why don't you spend your money on something that will look noticable different....even get the JDM full kit for that price...

Does anyone have any pictures of the L-Tuned aero kit on a Spectra Blue car? I have seen them on black, silver, white but never on the Spectra.

Default JDM Kit

If I'm not mistaken doesn't the JDM Kit still use the OEM bumpers with the JDM kit bolted on over the bottom portion of the OEM bumpers? I plan on keeping my OEM 17"s for a while until I upgrade to L sportline IV 19" and was told the l tune skirts look best with 17" wheels and other skirts make the wheels look to small. Any ideas roughly how much a complete L sportline of RMM body kit runs?

Thanks

Lev

jac....that is becasue l-tuned kits are not being offered in spec blue..only white, silver and blk

lev, l-tuned only has side skirts(plus the grill);
jdm kit(aka netz sports) is complete add-ons on front, sides and rear...
imo, any kit will make the factory 17s looked small as the kit will make the car look bigger and taller....i would put everything together at the same time....new kits need new larger shoes/wheels i mean

l-sport, ~$1800-2000, rmm, ~$1400-1500...not include paint and install...both l-tuned and jdm ones you can insytall them yourself as they come pre-painted in selected colors..

Here is a picture of my car in blue and with the L-tuned side skirts. This rear view really gives a good perspective on the the L-tuned side skirts. I also have the TTE front lip spoiler.
