Question Does anyone see or install GFX Kit for 2009 IS

Does anyone here see or install the new design GFX kit for 2009 IS ? I saw sewell sell front air dam (split design) only, but not the whole completely kits. Anyone here knows where to purchase full kits or maybe someone has installed the new kits already ? Please show us the pictures if you got it, I want to see how it looks like before I buy it, thanks

They sell replicas in the vendor section, if you're a fan of replicas.

I guess this body kits are too new, not many 2009 IS owner has experienced to do it yet.

I see it all the time, since it's an option in UAE. Looks really clean, especially on red.

Heres a thread with pictures if you didn't see it yet.

rule1223. Is your front air dam (split design) for 2009 IS, can't see well on your picture ? If it is, does it needs to drill holes on front bumper for installation ?
Same questions, on your rear for 07-08 needs any drill work ? will it fit easy and perfect on IS 2009 ?

^ yes, that is a 2009 front gfx lip. i believe drilling will be required as well.

and yes, the 06-08 rear gfx lip will fit, will require rear bumper hole-drilling, and will fit easily and perfectly.

and while you're at it, pick up the gfx side skirts as well. it should be a straight swap for the oem side skirts.

yes its is for the 2009, the propert way to install requires drilling, but i didnt i just use 3m tape and there were 5 clips at the bottom good enough to hold it.

for the rear, i just use the 2008 one, lot of drilling. but at the back there were 2 spots were not marked for the 2009 bumper, so you have to find the correct spots to drill which's hardest part, otherwise its all good, perfect fit.
