Default SXE10 or GXE10??

Which one is the US Version IS300...SXE10, GXE10, or neither?? I have been seeing these on japanese websites for bodykits. I also got a quote for a HippoSleek kit, but next to it, they wrote SXE10. Does that mean I would need to have modifications done in order for it to fit? Or is the SXE10 the same as the US version IS300?? I have asked the company, but they take forever to get back to me, so Im hoping you guys can help me out!! THANKS!!!

neither.

SXE are the 2.0 liter 3S-GE RS200 models, and GXE are the 2.0 1G-FE AS200 models. So really the IS300 isn't GXE or SXE.

I'm not sure about the exterior but they should be the same. Some companies name carparts differently in order to confuse people (like QUEST has a kit for JZS160 and JZS161...... but actually they're the same Aristo.)

well if you are lookin to get a full bodykit(ie replacement bumpers) then either kit will werk... sxe or gxe as long as you take out the 5mph bumper bars... but if it is a lip spoiler kit it has to be modded to fit the IS ... lengthened.. that is....

If you go by the standard Toyota format..the US IS300 probably would be a JXE-10

2JZ-GE = J XE-10 = chassis related

Just my $.02

good stuff guys.

Why the C? What's the difference between C and X? bumper reinforcement?
