Yeah, I asked the guy at L-tunedparts.com as well and he said there's no plans to make this kit either. I just hate how they show off these parts at the show and not actually sell them! Doesn't help when some places don't even offer the GFX kit for 09-10. I would seriously get one of these Five Axis kits if they made them.

Hopefully Vertex will come out with the 09-10 kit that someone mentioned in this forum.

2009+ Vertex is already out, there's a vendor here selling it. Use the search and check vendors.

It wasn't up to FiveAxis to decide whether or not to produce the kit. Lexus corporate had the final say on this one.

Sounds to me like Corporate wanted everyone to shell out some clams for their front lip "WINGS". It's so inadequate!

Yes its dead as an F-Sport kit (for well over a year now)..

Which pretty much means it "can" be sold as a Five Axis Lip Kit..

But that's pretty much dead in the water too..... Last I spoke to Troy...

MY Pics from SEMA 2008








I really liked the design on this one!!

Well, we could always go with the $750 + paint LEXON front lip

Hopefully the lip kit from the red VIP/JoeZ vert will become available soon :crosses fingers:

Actually, Five Axis can't produce this kit even if they want to. The IS and GS cars that these kits are on are property of TMS/Lexus Corporate, along with the designs of the lip kits (per Troy). If you wanted to blame someone for this kit not making it to production, blame Lexus because this is completely out of Five Axis' hands.

But if FiveAxis designed the kit, dont they own the right to it?

Yes, Lexus owns the cars, but the kit was made/designed by fiveaxis, not lexus. (unless fiveaxis was contracted out by lexus to design a kit for them ... which might make it theirs )
