Hello, just ordered F Sport AWD. Any idea why this exhaust and suspension can't go on the AWD?

The exhaust may not be designed to go around the front diff and driveshaft. Suspension may be different also. I don't know for sure, I'm just guessing.

The black one in the pic looks the best. I think its because it hid alot of those extra lines which make those front lips too busy looking. The front fascia is already angular and busy, the front lips just make it a little more complex.

+1 I will add to this minority view.

All of those TRD parts looked tacked on, just like they did with the Camry. It doesn't look bad on the Camry, but I expect more flowing peices on the high-end GS.

Interesting enough, I like the rear peices the most....especially the lower valence, the quad exhaust tips and the spoiler. It reshapes the rear. However, I'd prefer large, round single openings on each side (aftermarket exhaust probably solves that though).

Oh, and no on the rims (but aftermarket wheels always solves that).

Overall, I want smoother, more-integrated parts on the GS. And I know they're coming.

Here we have a 2013 Lexus GS350 F-Sport in Liquid Platinum. Upgraded with the exterior JDM body kit from TRD Japan..

The pictures were taken at Lexus HQ in Torrance, CA...

Lexus USA is currently reviewing/deciding whether or not to offer this F-Sport Body Kit upgrade via your local Lexus Parts Dept.

I say BRING IT..!!

  • Front Spoiler - Effective use of air flowing around the front, the shape and produce downforce. To ensure optimal downforce, contribute to the improvement of the initial response when steering.









  • Side Spoiler - Rectification optimum flow of air flowing around the rear tires. While casual, aerodynamic performance and handling stability is improved.






  • Sport Muffler & Rear Diffuser - Developing a set of four out of the exhaust and rear diffuser. Down force to extract stable air flowing through the lower surface flowed from the front. Was allowed to achieve stable performance and high straight down force more stable, by adopting a large fin.
    ※ Sports muffler and diffuser is installed as a set



  • Aero Rear Spoiler - Form without losing the elegant atmosphere of the whole. By mounting in combination with front aero spats, providing an effective aerodynamic balance.




Enjoy,

Joe Z

honestly i don't care much on the side and rear add on, but the front, those pieces are very nice. i don't like the fsport front bumper, doesn't look right to me at all. but with these add on, it looks way better

Not too sure about this kit. I think I need to see it in person to get a better point of view. Might look better on darker colors. Seems like it's too much of a "Lee press on nail" type of look to me.

i was thinking the same thing,,, like rominl said "the front is fine" it's the rest that seems off. however on an obsidian like you and i have, it might look alot better,,, minus the exhaust tips, i'm not feeling those at all, the spoiler looks huge,,, wonder how it would look molded and of course diff wheels.
