Thank you for sharing. Do you think we’d have better luck using a F Sport bumper vs the F bumper that you selected? Or would it be possibly the same issue. How much was the shop?
I think it's all random tbh. I've read on Facebook some people have no problems installing it themselves in their own backyard. I just got unlucky I guess, because I fit the bumper on with a lot of work, but no matter what I did the grill would NOT fit. The shop was around 1.2k for install and paint. 😩
Thanks, ok. Hopefully I’m lucky whenever I decide to do that upgrade. I mean 1.2k with paint isn’t that bad. When expected anyway lol thanks for sharing.
no, mine was 649 + shipping, so just under 1000 total. you can just search for any gx or lx emblem (part number: 53141-60090) if you want to go my route, I dont recommend it though, it's not a perfect fit, but there hasn't been any problems yet.
it all depends, the shop/guy I took it to who had a gs350 himself said even he had trouble with the bumper. You might luck out and get a decent mold where it wouldn't take too much to fit right, but in my case no matter what I did on my own it wouldn't fit at all.
That’s the Hybrid plug in bro you plug it into your wall and your car will get an additional 50 miles lol
@@nofsgiven3855 😂😂 I wish
No but seriously what was that cable for?
@tony_maloney998 someone in the comments said it was a block heater, to prevent engine wear on cold starts in the winter.
You did a nice job on the front bumper and grill ! I have 2013 GS350 also.
Thanks! Unfortunately the only thing I did was buy the bumper and pay the shop that did it 😂
@@ph0bolushow much were you charged for labour and painting in total?
1.2k
Block heater was the plug you found. Use it to avoid cold start wear on the engine
interesting thanks, I'll do some research on it.
Where did you buy the bumper from ? eBay, Ali express or alibabba
@@alvinsingh4838 I got it off ebay

if you have parking sensors what happens to them with the new bumper????
@@samuelhilaire8576 I've read on ClubLexus of people just cutting out new holes in the new bumper and popping the sensors in.
I have a 2007 gs350. Can this still be done on mine?
@@ashtonvanmierlo6778 not that I know of, there are front end conversions for the 3gs though, I've seen a couple on ig.
Did this mess up or do anything with the parking sensors if you had them?
No, my GS didn't have parking sensors to begin with.
Where did you get the bumper from can you post a link
Popped the link in the description.
I am from BC Canada as well!! What shop did you go to?? I am thinking doing this to my nebula grey gs350
I went to otto auto on bridgeport rd, let me know if you plan on doing it, would love to check it out once it's done!
Hey man did you buy the eBay bumper that is like 1000+ and 300+ for shipping?also can you Link the emblem?
no, mine was 649 + shipping, so just under 1000 total. you can just search for any gx or lx emblem (part number: 53141-60090) if you want to go my route, I dont recommend it though, it's not a perfect fit, but there hasn't been any problems yet.
@@ph0bolus 649 Canadian? On eBay? I only see the ones for like $1600 cad shipped
Hey i bought the same bumper as well , looking for a shop to install it. So far i was quoted for 2k 😅
haha damn, about $1k+ more expensive than my install.
@ph0bolus wow! Yup, I need to start looking around then 😬
Install it yourself lol just have a shop paint it for you through the paint code it will be 3-400
it all depends, the shop/guy I took it to who had a gs350 himself said even he had trouble with the bumper. You might luck out and get a decent mold where it wouldn't take too much to fit right, but in my case no matter what I did on my own it wouldn't fit at all.
Link for the emblem?
popped it on the description, just a heads up, I had to modify it to fit. If you don't want to do that, just get a 2016+ emblem.
Please tell me where you ordered it
Hey, I got it off ebay.
where did you get the lower CF lip?
ebay special, the basic 3 piece front lip just looks like carbon fiber instead of black.
How much did that gs350 cost?
@@toneee4472 the car itself, or the front end conversion?
@@ph0bolus the car plus conversion. I’m thinking of getting one
@@toneee4472 car was 20k, conversion was 1.2k
🤙🏾
You totally messed up that cat only to try to make it look newer?
@@vinmarz there was a cat in the video?
