Default Tom's lip finally came in!!!

The car's exterior is complete. The Tom's lip blended well with the OEM rear lower spoiler and trunk spoiler. Thanks for the pics Troy.

Can you take a picture like the second one but from farther away? I want to see how the front lip blends with the OEM side skirts. Thanks.

Carson's Toyota sells it for $450. Its installation is somewhat difficult so I'd get a quote from your dealer on installation. It involves a lot of cutting and drilling to get it done. I did my own but I wish I had taken pics of it. The good thing is that it comes with the longer angled tips to replace the OEM tips. It also comes with all the hardware and instructions to make the installation to make it 100% complete. The kit is color coded and comes painted to match the car too.

I did order the front lip unpainted since I didn't wan't to wait for it and Carson's Toyota had the front Tom's lip in stock. The rear can be ordered from any of your Lexus dealers.

Looks nice!

Your grill-that's not OEM is it? The Lexus logo looks solid.

Thanks. the Grille and emblem are OEM. The emblem is different on the Radar cruise and Pre-collision system equipped cars. It has to be since the radar unit is behind the emblem.

I don't know if i am impressed more by the lip, or by the freaking way your car looked with those duragloss products today. For not having some sort of orbital polisher (doing it by hand) your black looks crazy good. Look at my reflection in the front of your bumper. That's with even leaving it parked outside over night with some dust film on it. I truly was impressed with your shine today. looked good.

Now get back to work on hawk's supra so you can take me for a ride in it whe you get it tuned. What do you think the final numbers should be for it? 750hp+++???
