Default Need FACTS about GFX kit
I know its been out for awhile now but im kinda new to this GFX kit. I have seen it but i have not touch it. So my first question is, are GFX polyurethane, ABS platic, or is it something else?? I've been tryin to buy one but some of these sellers on eBay that message me back stating that the GFX their selling is made of ABS high end quality plastic and the other guy said that it's a high quality polyurethane... So really wtf is it?! Do some make it plastic and some polyurethane?? I guess my second question is, are GFX kit American product or is it JDM? guys i need help, thanks

One could say there is something to be said of the unique sense of purpose about the aerodynamic lines of the IS. The integration of a color coordinated front spoiler spoiler adds a sporty emphasis. This color-keyed addition adds a unique European-style flair to your IS.

* Lexus Original Equipment (OEM)
* Easy Installation
* Perfect color match from the factory
* Blow-molded with high-impact ABS
* Sleek in design
And it is JDM.
