Default IS Aero Kit

Guys is this the GFX kit that is popular around here? http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/index.php?id=1992 Is that the correct pricing for the entire kit? Also is the rear lip/side skirts really needed?

Yes, the OEM GFX kit that alot people have here. The pricing is correct but keep in mind they have limited colors. Not too long ago, Sewell Lexus had the entire kit for $200, but that offers over. You really don't need to put on the sideskirts and rear. Alot of people here put on just the front lip.

Me neither. Maybe it will show the available colors at checkup. If not, call them up. Everyone is offering these OEM GFX kits for super cheap since they are making room for the 09+ kits. L-tunedparts might get the kits from the same supplier as Sewell or they get them from Sewell directly. So far, Sewell only has a few complete kits available in less popular colors.

i thought they were discontinuing the kit besides the front lip. and the front lip comes UNPAINTED. i thought i read that in the GB thread. check ebay for the kits. you'll find a decent price for the kit.. i myself got suckered and bought the kit before the GB came up for 200 bucks for the entire thing. i paid 260 for the front lip alone!

i have the front lip only, but now i'm kicking myself for not getting the entire kit after seeing it in person on a few other cars.

from what i've found by looking around:
- lexus of westminster is still selling the 06-08 gfx kits, albeit on ebay.
- sewell lexus is still selling. use the code "CLUBLEXUS" to get ~10% discount.
- carson toyota/l-tunedparts.com is only carrying selected colors.

It is a pretty bad deal.... look at the shipping costs.

Prob cheaper to go w/ sewell as the front/rear gfx would cost about 300 shipped. Do the side skirts look any diff than stock?

The only difference in the GFX sides vs. stock sides is they stick out more from your car...where as stock they kinda flush with your car or maybe stick outwards like 1inch...the GFX ones stick out lie 2 inches or so..
it looks different if you see it in person ...makes a suttle difference

the most dramatic change is the front and rear .. IMO with the whole kit and a drop it looks real HOT.

Side dont make a huge difference but they good nice ..suttle but nice
but for the price slap um on...plus their the easiest to install

i'd steer clear of them. try this:

http://stores.ebay.com/Lexus-of-Westminster-Parts-Dept

entire kit for $349.99.

colors available:

Glacier Frost Mica- 074
Breakwater Blue - 8R6
Matador Red Mica - 3R1
Desert Sage Mica/Metallic - 6U3
Golden Almond - 4T1
if shipping doesn't make the deal that great, try sewell.
