Default GFX kit question NEED SOME HELP!

Hello fellow expert club lexus members,

I need some help with gfx kits. I've been thinking about getting these and would like to hear your opinions on following:

1. Do you guys think car looks ok with just gfx front lip installed (without side and rear?) fyi, my color is GFM and my car is NOT dropped.

2. I have installed Illuminated Door Sill Set - Blue (Fronts). Do i need to take those out and put it again? or does side kits have nothing to do with those?

3. What's the coupon code for sewell lexus for club lexus 10% discount?

Thank you so much for helping me out!!

Your advise is REALLY APPREICATED!

yup it looks fine even without the sides and rear. i dont have it but i know some members are running that kind of set up.
you won't need to uninstall them to the best of my knowledge
and just create an account with your CL username and the discount should automatically be applied.

Are the lips really discontinued or is that a mistake?

I don't know about the side, but the rear lips makes the car look lower and more aggressive with the extended exhaust. If you're not drop, I recommend the front/rear to make the car look lower without being lowered.

Also the rear is more noticeable, more than the front imo. You can usually tell someone has a the GFX kit when you see the rear.

unfortunately i personally can't tell a major difference in the side GFX kit. for completeness sake if you have the cash then go for it.

good choice for all 3.

same color as yours... GFM... but hard to see the rear.. but it'll give u an idea for the front and sides.

also, personal experience, make sure you have the rear installed correctly because it is the trickiest part of the whole kit.

I have the front only and I think it looks fine. As the others said, the sides are not really that different.
