That is a perfect tire size for a lifted GX (or the 4th gen v8 4R). My son runs that size. They are a perfect for 99% of what most everyone would want to do.

Welcome. I think yours is one of the rare ones without a spoiler, like mine. I wish I had one, but I'll survive.
 
Very nice! I dig the no spoiler as well. Congrats and welcome!
 
Nice. Paint matches just fine?
Also I can’t see your picture very well but this one has the third brake light cutout correct?

Match is near perfect, just not OEM quality. But a good base/clear job anyway. The 3rd brake light is clear. And I used white 3M vinyl to cover the factory 3rd brake light behind it after disconnecting it.

How was install? Drilling? I cringe at drilling into body work. But if that's how it's done....

Drilling? Yes, of course. The dealer-option spoilers were drilled in, too. You'll drill five holes total. Spend the time to properly touch up the holes with paint or roofing tar or whatever you choose and don't lose sleep over it.

It's a two man job to set up the template, but after that you're golden.

So if you’re looking at the original part on this website,it actually says only fitting 2006-2009.
It won’t fit my 2005 according to them.
Bad website info or is there really a difference between the years? I find that hard to believe .

Bad website info. I see people selling stuff for a 2010 GX470 all the time, too.
