Hello everybody, has anyone installed the Magic Drift ING Front lip spoiler on their GS? If so, I need some advice on how to properly install this lip. I'm having some fitment issues, it seems like the fitment is off and the lip is not lining up with the front bumper. Sections of the lip is going against the foglights (do i need to remove both foglights?). The middle section of the lip is going against the lower black grill. What modifications need to be done to make this lip fit. Thanks!

What year is your GS? Lexus redesign the front bumpers for the 08-11 models.

Take off the fog lamps if they are easy and the grille and test fit. How does the lip attach on, with double sided 3m tape?

Most likely you can do some trimming or even sand down the edges that you need to shrink up.

What ibidu said, you'll need to either trim it or have the paint shop trim it.

Ok, thanks for the responses everybody. My GS is a 2006. So, it turned out they sent me the wrong front lip. They sent me a front lip for an IS not a GS . I'm waiting on the shipment to arrive, I will keep you all posted.

I finally got the the Magic Drift ING front lip installed. It did need a little modification to make it fit. A heat gun and dremel were my best friend in getting the front lip to fit correctly. I did all the prep work and painted it myself in my backyard. Overall, I'm happy with the results. Here are some pics that I took while doing this project:


Used heat gun to adjust lip.
Had to use a dremel to even out this area.

I removed this part from under the car because it was in the way.
Test Fit Complete
Wet sand all areas really well with 220-320 Grit. *Important* *Preparation is key!!!

After Wet sanding and when dried this is how it should look
After applying Primer
Wet sand bumper with 400-600 Grit sandpaper so basecoat paint can stick. *Important* *Preparation is key!!!
Factory Black Toyota/Lexus Paint from SEM
4-5 Coats of base coat. Base coat is complete.

Had some PPG Shopline Euro clear coat left over from when I painted another one of my cars. The clear coat kit alone costs $400. This is some high quality clear coat!
I used my spray gun to shoot the clear coat
The final product! No wet sanding or buffing! Look at that finish! That clear coat laid flat! You barely see any orange peel!

Thanks I appreciate it! I was thinking about doing the side skirts and rear lip but, I can't find who sells the ING rear lip. I did find the side skirts on eBay here:https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ing-Side-Sk...xZ8Z~X&vxp=mtr

Do you know where I else I might be able to find them?

I would have to check, as I don't know if the companies I used to deal with are around anymore. But for sure keep looking, I'm sure you'll find it. Good luck!
