It's not a big difference but if your getting a gfx front and rear you should just get the sides so it's complete. I got my sides a month ago and the more I look at the the more noticible it is.

If it's cheap, sure why not to complete the look. I got mines for $99 brand new from Lexus of Westminister, in my color too. Lextuners were having a sale on gfx parts for $89.00 brand new in selected colors last month. Not sure if it's still going on but here is the link:

This is with GFX sides. Only reason i got them was my skirts were in bad condition.

It's just wider. I wouldn't have gotten it if it wasn't on sale from Lextuners.

OEM:


GFX:


Can't hardly tell the difference. But I got mine for $140 shipped from Lextuners and I was getting the rears too so I thought why not.

Its not so noticable from the sides, but if you look down on it, you will see that it's wider.

Yep, a lot wider. My left ankle was always hitting against my gfx sides when get out of the car. I had to learn to step further out not to hit it when getting out lol. Certain angles makes the sides look more aggressive. Starting straight at it from the side, not too noticeable.

1st picture OEM, 2nd picture GFX
