Default Lexus ISX50 GFX?

Finding a nice bodykit for a 2009 IS it is like finding a needle in a haystack.

If Tom's (the bodykit I'm waiting for) does not produce a kit for the 09 models soon, I will probaby just go with the 2009 Lexus GFX or INGs+1 (well INGs+1 doesnt have kit for 09 either, at least for now).

Having said that if I do end up with Lexus GFX, (specifically looking to get front and side skirts only), can you tell if its a bodykit? The kit look so subtle but I'm sure the side skirt is larger/more flared out than stock and the front lip will be noticable up close.

Please tell me what you think about the 2009 Lexus GFX?

if I had a 2009, I would get the 09' Lexon front lip,and the 08' side skirts/ rear (as they fit an 09').

this wouldnt' be 'setteling' either, as I really like the 09' Lexon front lip. it would go with the remaining gfx kit very well.

pics of the 09' lexon front lip:




subtle, but adds a nice aggressive look to the front and this car isn't even lowered. lowered on coils, you'll have one bad looking IS.

I'm SOLD!! Where do I buy the Lexon front lip? And you're absolutely right, it will flow well with the GFX sideskirt.
Thanks!

now that was easy, see! and its avalible now so no wait time.

you can get it through these guys, but watch out its expensive (as all lexon stuff is), i think its $699 for the front lip:

http://www.vipautosalon.com/ - call them, its not on their site, but they can get it.

but getting the remaining gfx kit from Sewell, you can have an entire kit for sub $1K - that and I believe you'll be the first to have this front lip here on CL!

I was quoted by every dealership, "the 2009 IS model have a different front and rear bumper design. So be sure the bodykit you order will fit."

And without even checking with the store, I know the Lexon front lip (MDGRWL posted) will fit 2009 because it is attached to the bottom of the bumper only. As for the 2008 GFX side skirt, it will fit the 09 as well.

The 2008 GFX REAR will fit the 09' as well. There's a couple memebers here with it. I would complete the kit and get the rear as well, it will fit the 09'.
