Yes, it is, but once you have it on, you'll be glad you did it and love it, at least I do.

Already got the pricing on all the parts they are all under $700 just need the front bumper and lip which I will get for less then $500 so the moral of the story is that it can be done for at least $500 less than sewells charges for the whole kit

Got a list of parts from sewells with the 20% off or whatever discount they give with the clublexus coupon. Ordered the lip, and fogs from ebay not OEM, but fits 100% and you cant tell the difference. Bumper I got from a local dealer with a bodyshop discount of 25% and paid $385 for that + 200 to paint the bumper and lip kit.

Sewells parts $506.78 Shipped
Ebay Fogs $49.99/pair Shipped
Ebay Lip kit $99.99 Shipped
OEM Bumper (non-painted) $325
OEM 2012 Bumper Absorber $50
Paint Labor $200 for the bumper and lip kit

Total Spent on the Upgrade: $1231.76

Sewells kit was gonna cost me $1856 Shipped

Total Savings $624.24

Its always good to research alot before you buy certain things because you can always save money. It took me a while to get the kit together, but the savings is well worth it.
