Default eBay Lexon style side skirts fitment

Who has these side skirts installed on their car? How is the quality and fitment?

I've never heard of an eBay replica that fit well.

Most likely it would require some drilling.

Does it come in other colours, say matt black? Not sure our collective Lexi are in need of fake carbon fibre!

Looks really similar to the NIA body kit for the GS: https://www.niaautodesign.com/lexus-...018-body-kits/

Yeah, but these are actually replicas of Lexon (http://www.lexon.co.jp/exclusive/lexus_gs.htm) sides. The original sides cost close to a grand for an FRP and carbon ones are over 1K.

Bumpers or fenders I agree, I would never buy non OEM. But something like this, a few straight sticks, should fit one way or the other

Yes I did read on ebay one guy said that holes don't align properly, so some drilling will def. be required.

I have it. It fits perfectly. The holes line up with the clips that hold the underpart of the rocker panel

Wasn't expecting that. At $400 seems a good price then.

Bullets Garage on youtube did a video review on this they fit good, but not a fan of the fins.

I purchased this first and it did not fit. It was too short. It was not long enough. I was able to return it and purchased the carbon fiber unit in the top post.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fits-16-19-...72.m2749.l2649

I know the Ebay post does not list a 2013 model but I believe the length of the GS did not change from 2013-2019 so that is why I went ahead and pulled the trigger on it.

Glad I went with the carbon fiber instead. Looks much better

Here's a couple photos of my car with them. I ended up painting them black to go with the whole black and red look. I would buy them again and keep them carbon fiber if I were to also purchase the front lip and rear diffuser in carbon fiber

I dont think they come in other colors. Mine came in carbon fiber and i painted it with my front lip and then had paint protection film put on.

i agree. Mines were the same and fit great. but you have to remove that black plastic thing that hangs down in front of the back wheels.

What is the correct length for the side skirts? I see a bunch of 86.6 and 78.7 inch ones on ebay. This one and the NIA ones dont list the dimensions anywhere…

Grab a measuring tape and measure it.
