Go with Vertex if you have the money, if not just get the front and rear GFX, sides are not a huge diff from stock.

What year is your car. What are your other plans as far as wheels and suspension. I like the gfx kit for a nice clean subtle look. Plus is also depends what size rims and setup you decide to go with. I don't think the vertex will look good unless you have 19s or 20's with some low offsets. The gfx kit can go with anything really. But if you decide to go with some baller VIP wheels the gfx won't cut it.

those springs are good, and the wheels are nice, if you can get a little lower offsets

Same here, I would say get the Vertex front/sides and GFX rear. It will cost you less and it looks good. I purchased mine from Steven @ VIP Auto Salon. They had the best price out of all the CL vendors and provided A++++ service.

Quick question.

Do you only want a mild drop? Don't expect much of a change with the F-Sport springs as far as drop.

From the same website (Carson Lexus l-tunedparts.com) you saw the vertex body kit... They also have the Tom's side skirt on sale for $325 unpainted. I believe they have 3 on hand last time I checked. It's subtle like the GFX.

i have no idea. i want my car looking like alex350's but im not sure if its possible to have it that low where i live, theres alot of bumpy roads + hill's, woudlnt wanna scratch. so yes i guess a mild drop to make my new wheels look flush

On sewell they have the gfx kit for $759.60. when i get the rates to ship to canada its + $800.00 (Incl. Duties/Taxes).
Which makes the total $1,559.68.

undernear theres another option for $200.00 Standard international shipping. i click it and the price of the gfx kit drops to $960.94 .

I have a question. if i buy the gfx with standard international shipping and i recieve the item will i be charged for duties + tax? or no?
