Lightbulb TRD Japan Releases New Body Kit & Suspension Upgrade for 2013 GS350/GS450h (JDM Spec)

Story Link Released via Lexus Enthusiast

"TRD Japan Releases New Lexus GS Body Kit"
  • The 2013 Lexus GS went on sale in Japan earlier today, and newly developed TRD parts were revealed as part of their launch — here’s a look at the aero kit, which is made up of a front under-spoiler, side skirts, a trunk spoiler and a rear diffuser, along with a quad-exhaust sports muffler.
  • Also released were 19″ forged aluminum wheels and a complete sports suspension.
  • As to be expected, TRD Japan parts are not cheap (set of four wheels: $6,574 USD), but I can’t help but be impressed with how well the parts integrate with the overall look of the GS. At this time, North American availability is unknown.

Here is the Official site for the JDM Spec. Market:

Arrow FYI for All...

FYI...

TRD Japan operates completley differently compared to TRD USA..
Although both are owned by parent company Toyota Motor

TRD USA, might very well already be working on possible new "F-Sport Accessory Parts" here in the states..

Personally, I would pick everything EXCEPT the wheels.

Reason: I prefer the twin 5 spoke design of the F-sport. And both are 19 inchers anyway so not much difference in that aspect. Just the wheel design afaik.

I read an article about this yesterday. Can't say I care for the body-kit or wheels, but I do like the spoiler.

I wonder if US F-sport parts will remain blue or they'll choose another color this time

Need bigger exhaust tips and the wheel is less attractive than the stock 19' F-sport.
