Ground Effects Kit - Availability


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I am sorry if this has already been discussed but:

When shopping for an IS250 I decided to get the SE-L model and add the Ground Effects kit to it, rather than get an SR just for it's looks.

Lexus have now discontinued the kit as an OEM accessory. I had been watching a couple of eBay sellers in the US who offered PU copies of the front and rear lips at around $150 each.

These very items have recently jumped up to $400 for some reason!?

Now I am stuck, struggling to find the parts anywhere. Can anyone help at all?

Really only want the OEM looking parts, nothing more garish etc.

Thanks

So, I contacted the official Lexus eBay shop and after some email tennis I have good news, and I have bad news.

GOOD: They can send me an OEM GFX front spoiler from the UK warehouse to my local dealership within 3 days.

BAD 1: Its not pre painted

BAD 2: They want £293!!

Robbery IMO. About to play the LOC Gold Membership......see how that goes down.

Yes. You need to consider two factors. 1. Here in the UK Lexus is a relatively rare brand compared to its status in the USA. So prices reflect the market. 2. Lexus is a Premium brand which again is reflected in the price of servicing and parts. I never understand why people buy a premium car then complain about the cost of the aftercare.

Yes I've started this thread complaining about the price of this item, but that's only because I was benchmarking it against suppliers in the US.

Please don't mistake me for someone that you have just described. I've owned a Lexus for 8-9 yrs and always fitted genuine parts and serviced with a Toyota specialist.

I was surprised given the items size that's all.

Next time I'm on holiday in the US I think I'll courier a painted one back to myself.
