- The front lip was a little hard to get on but it was worth the hassle. Looks very good.

That front lip def makes the car look perfect! To bad the install was a pain in the but , yet you still made it work!
Yea it looks perfect now !!! Gonna make it even better
I have to comment because I'm nervous, and would feel responsible if something happened. NEVER use Jack Frame Rail Blocks with Jack Stands. They are designed for flat-bottom jacks like a hydraulic jack or shop lift. Also, jack stands should only be used on the 4 factory jacking points, not sure what the front ones are doing. Great videos! Tune Safely!
That front lip is for the RC350. Cos I have the very same kit. But you still made it work so props to you. 👍👍
Thanks man. Yea it was hard making it work but better then nothing
every tuning and styling is a piece by piece challenge. It's fun and the end result is unique. 👍😎
True. Love the finished look
That’s why you go with TOMs and not some off brand, I work at Lexus and have seen some nice quality TOMs upgrades to GSF lc500 RCF and other cars for that matter, yes they are pricey but they fit perfectly
The price is why. It’s way to expensive. I’m not well off. I bust my ass everyday n work hard for everything I have. And I cannot justify spending that much money on s lip kit that can be so easily damaged with one steep driveway.
Great video. The side skirts look great. I have spoken to the seller on ebay before and the front lip is designed for the 2016+ GS F-Sport front bumper. The seller said he had customer with the GS-F make it work like you did and that is why he sells it as a GS-F lip. I really wish it fit a little better and I would get that for my GS-F also.
Nice glad u got in contact with them and cleared that up. Yea I got it to work and it looks good man for what it is.
Good info
Thanks. It was a challenging install
Bullets Garage I was talking to joe!
The front lip is not for GSF. It is quite obvious to me since the contour of the lip (especially the humps) does not match the area where it should fit on the bumper. Check pictures of this lip installed on other GSF to make sure
I hear what ur saying. But you have to understand this is a eBay lip it’s not gonna be perfect fit. The link of the product is below the video check it out it says for gsf. It’s pro a universal gs kit
looking much better than before!
👌🏼 💯 percent agree with y
Looks sick man!
Always making things work out. Think of the gaps as down force to compliment your speed.
Yes sir. Airflow lol.
All you need is the rear splitters!!🙏🏽🙌🏽 ... that next?! 🌿👀🌿
Right. Yup
Well you made it work! I wonder if the TOM’S lip kit fit better for the GS-F? But I agree it does look fantastic from the above angle. And just another suggestion did you use lock nuts and or lock washers so then after time the nuts and bolts won’t unscrew from vibration and driving?...
Can’t wait to see another walk around of your car! Spring time is here woohoo!
Yes I used lock nuts. I did the install right to avoid exactly what u describe
I m about to attempt this on my 15 es 350 . Yours looks gd to man def looks better then stock .
That looks great man 👍
Was talking the side skirts. Sorry about the front lip
Front was hard to install. But looks good tho
Bullets Garage it does look good. Definitely changed the look of the car 👍
Yea buddy !! Looks so much meaner !!
Looks awesome bro. Where did you order them? I have a 2015 lexus is 250
eBay the link is below in my video
Ok thanks much
You might want to think about this rear spoiler for your GSF. I think the rear spoiler is OK, but it needs a bit more elevation, height, to give it some pizazz. This part is not terribly expensive and can be delivered painted. It is effective enough at providing additional downforce to require a diffuser under the front to maintain proper aerodynamic balance.

Good info but I hate the design of the wing. If it didn’t have that lip that comes down over the emblem then it would look a lot better.
hmm i wonder what's better, this or self tapping screws. this looks more secure actually
Where can I get the same hardware you used for this project ? What was the Length of bolts ? Lmk please
The lip shape looks like its for a GS350, maybe thats why it doesnt fit. Certainly not made for GSF front end.
Unfortunately it says it’s for gsf. But it’s just poorly designed.
Lots of people call the GS350 F Sport, GS-F Sport
Well that’s wrong lol
The problem is prevalent especially with eBay parts because a lot of the Chinese manufacturers that are doing the replica kits look at GS F sport and just do it as GSF. If you look at at a 350 F sport you will see how this lip would fit .
Yea ur right. It’s sad 😞 what can you do. Lesson learned. But I made it work and it does not look bad at all. Still looks like it belongs to the car
I installed the same lip on my gs350 fsport, every holes lined up. Unfortunately it not designed for GSF
Ic good to know this.
Hi bro, how's the lips and skirt fit on the GS350 F? I have the same car and considering DIY it.
They r made for the 350 n fit fine. For the Gsf it’s not the best fit
@@BulletsGarage Do I need to screw a hole on my car to install the lip and skirt? Thanks
Well done
When you installed the side skirts, how did you remove the clips? What tools did you use to remove?
Which clips
@@BulletsGarage The big clips at 3:00
Flat head screw driver
This kits isn’t on eBay no longer and wonder where can I get the same one
They are. I just bought one for $600 shipped. Search lexon carbon fiber replica
What kind of screws did u use. I just took mines off cause I'm looking for a less aggressive one
Stainless bolts with nuts.
Raja. Your skirts dont look as aggresive as mines. I like yours. But nothing but wishes for you on your car
The carbon fiber doesn’t crack when you made the holes .,.?
No why would it. You use a drill
Bullets Garage ohhh alright yea I was just asking cuz I was going to buy one for my IsF from eBay as well but it had said that I had to make the holes and I was just thinking it will crack the fiberglass.,. But your saying it won’t so I learned that today lolz 👍🏽 .,.
Nope use a good drill bit and u will be fine.
Bullets Garage.,. Ight thanks G .,.
U got it man. Np
How are those side skirts holding up, any issues?
Side skirts r perfect!! No issues
How did you mount the nut and bolt on the lip, from the inside, did you have to take the panel off under near? Or just tap in screws?
i stuck my hand in between the panels and used the nut and bolt to secure it
I had a ebay seller give me some stray lip like this. But the lip I ordered was just plastic no cf, so I'm going to throw it on the right project, maybe a truck bc the damn skirts are so wide that they'd make good running boards. #herpelip
Where did u buy your side skirts and front lip
eBay
Link in the description bro
how is this holding up?
It’s good. It did crack cuz I hit a dam brick in the road. Couldn’t avoid it
Hey I was wondering I think u can help me put my spoilers I’m scared that I might mess it up!! U think u can help me ! I live in Chicago as well
What car u have?
Bullets Garage I have a 2015 Lexus IS 350 f sport
Message me on ig Bullets_garage_gsf
I would have used some nutserts...They are very secure, spread out on the back of the piece and they have a nut built in so all you have to do is screw them in from the bottom.

That’s what you get for buying an eBay lip, never cheap out on a car like this
Once again. I cannot afford to spend close to 2k on just a front lip. That’s insane. And it’s can get damaged so Easily on one steel driveway. I’m sorry. Just can’t do it
