Thanks for all the positive comments

Just be sure that you WANT to keep the the GFX because once you cut, no turning back

Nice write up, I actually did this two days ago by myself. It took awhile cause my dremel keeps running out of battery and I had to keep charging it.

I would have had this done like 2 weeks ago but teach was so busy with other students he just kept postponing to help me paint mine. All worth the wait though.

awesome job. i thought you could tape it on, but the body shop told me it wasn't going to work with just tape. Was gonna do it myself per these instructions and the ones supplied, but it was already at the shop so I had them do it. Looks fairly easy enough since everything is already marked on where to drill and cut on the stock bumper

Excellent write up! I really want to get this rear lip, but everytime I see pics, the tailpipe tips look too small in reference to the cutouts. Oddly, the stock ones seem to fill in the stock bumper holes a little better. I know aftermarket tips would fix this, but I want to keep everything stock Lexus.
Back to the drawing board for now...
