Seing them side by side I have to say that the TTE looks more sleek compared to the Greddy.. Looks really good...

Looking good Dex. How do you like the look over the Greddy? Your car looks very clean. Now you just need to get the L-tuned side skirts. Do you have a picture of your car with the TTE front lip and stock side skirts?

Oh no he doesn't! Not two in the same city, please

Dex's install really is the best I've seen. The same shop did it that put mine on (twice) and I'm guessing he really has learned how to make it perfect with the practice . I'm thinking about getting mine pulled off and re-installed like Dex's. It's totally clean, looks OEM. Almost molded in.

LOL, the TTE looks much better than the Greddy...looks almost like the car could come stock like that .

Thumbs up <<<<SLEEK>>>>

VERY NICE!!! I have the TTE front lip...but didn't like the TTE logo on the front so I had the shop just fill it in. Now I just gotta get the L-Tuned side skirts and I'll be straight

I think TTE lip looks sleek and I guess complete with the stock bumper. The Greddy lip looks aggressive but IMO it's too, too aggressive. No offense with for those with it Also with the greddy lip...you're just beggin for trouble with speed bumps and parking spaces with those mile high concrete blocks!

I like it much better than the GReddy. Not too many more pics just yet.

The past couple weekends, including the pics I have so far, were taken at our meet, and it was sooo cold. The GS is pretty dirty right now, but once I get it all shiny again, I'll add some more pics to my page.

The LTuned skirts definitely look clean with the TTE, but I have to tell you, the simple lines of the TTE blend pretty well with the OEMs, so the skirts will be put off until some otehr goodies are done.

Dex:

Looks great. One question though...on your website you stated that the body shop "molded it (the lip) in such a manner that it appears damn near Factory." Did the body shop just use the screws and adhesive, or did they do something more? I'm interested in the lip, but have read older posts complaining about fitment problems. However, your TTE lip looks perfect. Congrats!

Yeah the TTE lip looks good with or without the L-Tuned side-skirts.

Are the L-tuned skirts even available from Lexus, since there is no more L-Tuned? I don't think so...second-hand(which there is nothing wrong with) is probably the only way to go.
