Default How low are the Tom's side skirt ?

I have the Tom's rear lip and Wald front lip on my IS350 and in my opinion they match very well.
But I just need something that will match the side cause the oem side skirt are now low enough.
So I was thinking about the Tom's side skirt but I have no idea if they are low enought and cannot find that info, someone can tell me if they are lower enought to match the Wald front lip ?

thank you !

They're decently low without being absurd. They look close to stock but you definitely notice it helps the lines of the car that have lip kits on. It's "just enough"

You can checkout my thread "Finally introducing br3akenout's 2006 IS250" and you can see how the sideskirts look. I have the Tom's rear but just converted my front to the F-sport bumper. To be absolutely honest, the side skirts look best with the original sized front bumper (06-10 models?)

There's a couple vendors here on the forums that have it (or had it). I know I waited a couple months for mine since I got my kit when they first came out back in 06-07?

Try L-Tuned Parts (Carson Lexus). I think they're still a vendor here. That's where I ordered mine from. I believe there might be another vendor or two that actually has the parts in stock but I don't remember which one. If you search the vendor marketplace you may be able to find them.

They're pretty subtle. I'd look into Vertex side skirts (what I have) if you want a subtle addition as well.

Check out this page: http://minkara.carview.co.jp/en/user...425/photo.aspx

It shows every angle of the side skirts. The last image has a comparison of stock and Tom's.

Vertex are not bad also but I prefer the Tom's, I think I will go with Tom's. And yes I like subtle mods, I like to modify cars but I like when the result look like oem.
Thank you for the link infectious.
