Default Body differences of '06-'08 IS250

Aside from the Shark fin antennae missing from the '06, are there any body changes (specifically the front bumper) on the 06-08?

I'm trying to get a wald front lip, but are there differences between an '07 - '08 version of this kit ?

Thanks in advance -- any help would be appreciated.

06-08 all have the same front bumper. There is no difference at all.

hehe. I'm talking with Calvin from M1autosports - getting the lip from them, but he says that the lip won't fit the front, the distributor for the wald kit says so. But if the bumper is the same, i just don't understand why not -_-.

Yeah I think so too. on Jonari's site (distro for wald) they block off '06-08's and then an 09 in a separate row, because obviously the 09's are styled differently -

I'm gonna give em a call tomorrow and see what's up. Thanks for the help guys.

anyone know if there is a body "door/window" frame change in the '06 vs '08?

i'm trying to fit a yakima roof rack on an '08 and have been told it only fits the '06, which doesn't make sense to me since i thought '06-09's were the same???

please advise if you know. (if you go to yakima's site, they say there is not kit for the '08)

It may be that the 07+ ISx50's have the shark fin antenna that may interfere with the roof rack.
