itsZep - I just got them and they look awesome! It took me about 10 minutes to install. I will put the pictures up when I have a chance. I highly reccommend this add-on to really set your Lexus apart.

I ordered the one's for 2003-2006 and put them on my 2008 and they fit perfectly. I guess Putco never updated their database.

Oh yeah and I did not shop around and got ripped off - I paid over $100.00, but I just found them online for under $50.00 - happy hunting!

Jason.....do they just snap in?

JasonCANES

They actually have that Red/Gray 3M tape on the back. So here are the directions: clean the headlights with alcohol, remove the tape from the inside of the trim, line up and press into place. They were very much "plug 'n play".

Any other questions, let me know. They are really sharp with contrast nicely with the chrome "L"

JasonCANES

Well, here is the ever-so-sad response from the company.

Nooooooo!!!

Ok, anyone else seen any other good front lips?

JasonCANES

Here are some really "bad" front lips/body kits - I'm going to keep looking for something better.

Guys -

Thoughts on modifying this Prado version front spoiler to fit our GX?



Or this one...

JasonCANES

I love that you're doing the research - I am not sure if I like those lips as much as the original ones...I guess its sorta like once you lay your "eyes" on Angelina Jolie's lips...everything else just isn't the same - I'm not giving up on finding the lip from Sally! I just sent her another email. These things are sitting in a warehouse somewhere...we just need to track them down.

IMHO - way overpriced --- http://www.wooddashexperts.com/custo...at=8066&page=1

"These things are sitting in a warehouse somewhere...we just need to track them down"

My thoughts exactly!

We deal with LX-Mode guys, I will see if we can track some down from someone else that might still have them. I will post back with whatever info I can find.

JasonCANES

That would be awesome - Sally Tin (from LX-MODE) wrote me this morning and said they were unable to dig any up. Hopefully, you have some more luck.

Thank you!

Jason

I love the bottom bumper grills next to the fogs. I am not sure how I feel about the top grill, but the bottom ones are sweet.

Ahhh yes the Asanti Grill Set....

I Talked to a guy at Asanti and they Retail for over $2200... yep you heard it, over two thousand dollars. Daaaammm!

They remind me of the Strut Grills, which I also talked the Strut rep and said they have no plans to make one for the GX because demand is not there.

A local respected shop said they could make a grill just like the Strut Style with the same materials for around $800.

I guess we are just SOL on fixing up our GX's.

Please somebody find some guy who has a warehouse full of the LX Mode front spoilers. I don't like the others I posted, just trying to find options.

Strut is located about a mile from my house...I see the owner driving around in his pimped out Merc and Range Rover all the time.
