Default 08 gfx kit on my 09

so its been discussed many times that the 08 gfx sides and rear do fit the 09"s.
so i ordered them for my car, just got them installed at my friend's shop, they were both perfect fit, but for the rear, there were coupe spots that are suppose to be drilled were not marked at the back of the 09 bumper, that was the hardest part, other than that it was perfect! here are some pix. the 09 fronts i had for a while and i have the pre-09 rims on my car but won't be long, i ordered some five axis s5:f
sorry for the poor photo, i didnt have my camera with me.

sewell said they are not going to drop the price of the 09 front lip anytime soon
since there are very few in stock, they don't not come painted, but if you order
from sewell they will paint it for you(included in the list price).

Nice job! The '09 GFX lip looks more aggressive than the '06-08s. It resembles Wald with a touch of Fabulous.
