Default actual measurements GFX vs OEM sides

Hey guys on the 06-08s does anyone have an actual measurement comparison for the sides? I know most people say to skip them but then others say it does make a difference once the whole kit is installed. Im considering buying it since my left side OEM has a few scratches in it...however Sewell is charging over 200 for the sides after paint in Obsidian im trying to make up my mind!

I just installed the gfx sides on my 06. Makes a difference. Didn't measure but best guess is 1" wider than stock.

I was like you but I ended getting the gfx sides. If you compare them side to side, the gfx are def wider. I like them.

Never a fan of GFX side, but the reason I got it because I was lucky to get a brand new set shipped for $$ from a Lexus dealer and it is from the factory so color match is 100%

yea i want em...posted a wtb thread...sewell has a set of light blues for 60 plus shiping but sanding down and repainting them might cost me just as much as just ordering the obsidian ones from them

you should definately chk your local lexus dealer for pricing, i thought Sewell's $168 was a good deal, but i s/w a rep at JM Lexus and was quoted $125. Im going to be ordering these real soon.
