The thing is that It might not fit our cars
I think the new kit will be for the face lift 09+ ISX50 so the new car might have different bumpers nothing official has been said yet......

I see 2 possible issues with the '09 kit, it may not fit '06-'08 MY and it will definitely be a lot more expensive than the Sewell sale. Your best bet is to contact Sewell and see if they can offer you the same price for their leftovers if any.

exactly the new kit will be at the normal price. If I remember correctly the GFX kit was like at $1000 more less when it was introduced

Just curious.... what happens to the people who already have the GFX kit and they get into an accident that damages the GFX kit? Does that mean that they won't be able to get the GFX kit again?

I thought I heard that the parts may still be available from Lexus.. but they will not come painted. so If you have an accident and have a GFX kit.. They can still acquire the pieces and have them painted.

Starfire Pearl for the win! Although I must say, the rear lip on my GFX doesn't match the rest of the car exactly. Is it because Starfire Pearl is hard to match?

What makes the paint special when it has "pearl" as its name?

Thanks

We still have individual rear lips for 150.00. The problem is a lot of colors sold out already, so if you purchase from the remaining stock if it's not the corect color you would have to repaint it.

We have 3R1, 212 , 1G1, 1G0
