Curious to see if anyone from here have the lip from Ebay on their F Sport? If possible, I would like to meetup and see in person before purchasing...

I live in San Diego and contemplated eBay front bumper spoiler. One eBay seller is in LA and I called to see if they installed but they drill and not sure I want a bunch of holes. Also not sure wanted painted or not. Maybe we can pull the trigger together.

PM me, my brother has it on his. If you've seen a grey GS350 driving around with undefeated license plate frames.

Nice to hear from a local GS fellow! From my understanding, some people said it should be direct fit going into factory holes? I wouldn't want to drill holes either...

What color is your car? Mine is Ultra White. Thinking about either leaving it matte black or wrapping it in carbon fiber.

It is direct fitting i checked out my brothers GS350 when I was back home on leave. I have the non-f luxury I need to swap for an f sport bumper.

2015 Fsport Atomic Silver with Merlot interior. When I contacted the shop in LA reported not all holes line up and recommended drilling for tighter fit. However reading forum, there are lip spoilers that are a direct fit. Because front bumper is extended and lower, I've seen scratches on all used GS350s and don't to happen to mine even though I'm very carefull. But some curbs are a bit high enough for a scrape.
My last car, 2014 MBZ E350 Sport was white with black interior and loved the color combo and thought I would get same GS Fsport but did not like it. However, the 2016 FSport in white and black/red pulls it off. If I stay Lexus, I'm going white next.
Matt black would work on my car but also wrapping same color of defuser would look nice too.

Still deciding since the front side seems to cover a lot of the curve of the bumper making it look a bit weird.... Will definitely keep you updated.

I searched on the forums and noticed another member having success with a amazon link that they used. I just placed the order for mine and should receive in time for me to touch up and install for the weekend.

Confession: I ordered a ton of other stuff as well.....

Agreed!!!! Time to hang out and learn from one another.


To the San Diego family....




Upcoming upgrades:
  • Plasti Dip emblems/all chrome (purchased all goods will be delivered soon)
  • LED everything (purchased and installed soon)
  • Carbon Fiber interior accents (doing homework)
  • Front lip (doing homework)
  • Wheels (phat hook up will pull trigger soon)
  • Lowered (Done)
  • Exhaust (Done)
  • Tint (Done)
If you want to get together in San Diego. Count me in or shoot me a message.


To not go off track, I will report what rear window lip installed. My car is silver so I will probably have it painted. Have seen some people wrap lip to match the black/white cars that are easier to match. I will paint to color match. Front lip I will want to keep a black color.

Looking at your list, I definitely want to check out your car. What type of exhaust do you have? Also, I am in contact with a guy from New York regarding the Carbon Fiber trim for the interior. He sent me samples and I approve. I selected the pieces I want and waiting for him to reply with a price.


Quick Reply: Anyone from San Diego???
