I can almost guarantee anyone buying an LC will NOT be putting on any of these items. They really don't look that great, and they add no performance.

Hopefully TRD comes out with lowering springs, exhaust, etc.

IMO, the pieces displayed are understated and certainly not gaudy. Never forget that different people like different things. That being said, more performance parts would certainly be welcomed...

Default Need help putting them on the car.

I did purchase whole TRD body Kits for my LC500.
Since it is written in Japanese, I do have a problem installing the side skirts. I just don't know if I need to drill a wholes to install it. Please advise if anyone know how to install this. Thank you in advance.

I believe all of the TRD body kit items require drilling holes. I bought and installed the rear lip spoiler, but I removed the bolt and used the 2-sided tape only (link below). But the other parts probably need to be bolted to be secure. Have a Lexus dealer do the install, which they should be willing to do since these are TRD parts. That way you're covered if something goes wrong. I saw a video somewhere - of the side skirts being installed in Japan, and it certainly looked like something I wouldn't attempt on my own. If I can find that video, I'll post the link.

Here is the link-post of my trunk lip spoiler with and without the bolt...

Did you purchase TRD kit as well? How did you install the skirts? Did you drill the holes?

Friends of mine who have had that issue use google translate. If you open the app and view the Japanese instructions the English translation will appear on the screen. https://support.google.com/translate...DAndroid&hl=en

I do need some help those who installed the TRD side skirts on your car.
I do have a problem installing the skirts & Can't read Japanese. I've used the translation app to see if I can get some answer. But the translation was hard to understand due to the poor translation by Google.
Anyway, as you can see the bottom pictures, they supported me the solid plastic Templates kits that I thought it actually goes on the car...(I'm not sure,)
Please see the bottom picture and advise if you have any suggestion. I've installed the front Lip, Bumper & rear spoilers & it looks ok. I will up loaded for you guys to see.
Thx




Hi Edward San,

Don’t worry about it.

SIde Skirts TRD Box contained installation kit template for drilling the holes(#8, #9).



There are the installation kit template for both of the Left Skirt and Right Skirt in the box.


#8 and #9 in Installation instructions.




You can find match drilling position.

I wish you good luck.

Thanks,
