Default Help to ID side skirts

Hi guys, a couple of months ago my IS350 was hit by an old lady who fell asleep... long story short a bunch of parts have been replaced by insurance, only now I find that they replaced the side skirt with a standard part not what was on it.

From what I can tell I had the GFX side skirts on the car, the panel shop have replaced the damaged one with a standard OEM. Now I've got mismatched sides (rookies).

To get a replacement seems to be very difficult (down here in NZ), insurance are wanting me to replace the undamaged side with standard so they match, as you can imagine I'm not so keen. They're claiming it's too hard to find a match as they don't know for sure if what I have is the GFX or something else. Either way I can't seem to find anyone on this side of the world that sold this kit.

Some pictures are below, can anyone help confirm what I have/had was GFX or something else?

I can get some closer more detailed pictures if it helps. Thanks in advance.

There's no question right? Are there any other kits out there that are similar at all? I've done a search and I can't find anything.

Pretty sure those are gfx. And dont think there are any aftermarket/reps of the GFX floating around either

Those are GFX side skirts. Extreme Dimensions does make a replica of them.

We do have our J-Spec Side skirts, http://extremedimensions.com/06-11-IS-U-Jspec-SS.html, and they are in stock.

To the OP, shoot me a PM with your address and i'll see what I can do to get you a set shipped out.

Thank you,
Irving

Cool, thanks guys. Appreciate the help. I'm not liking the kit with the standard OEM sides.

PM Sent.

Quick update, these are discontinued but thanks to parts numbers we managed to get a pair made to order by toyota japan. A couple of weeks later the car is back to how it was.

So thanks for your help guys...
