Talking 'white knight' : few upgrades

Figured since I got the wheels and tires mounted the other day there is enough noticeable difference to show it off...

2009 IS250 AWD has Tein H-Tech, AEM ETI intake, LFA style wheels w/ General G-MAX AS-03 (wanted Continental ExtremeContact DWS but on backorder...), 2 12" Kicker Solobaric w/ Orion XTR15001 and custom enclosure, and Remin Carbon fiber exterior/interior trim (think I'm gonna take out the interior and use 3M Dinoc, Remin is thick looking), 6000k HID swap and PIAA Plasma 2500k Halogen Fog.

First picture is the day I got the car, second is this morning!

Looks great. Are those lfa wheels staggered. I thought about getting a set. But I figured they would look similar to my stock F-Sport wheels.

Talking

The wheels are 19", 8.5" front 9.5" rear, 38mm offset all around.... For a front lip I was thinking about that Five Axis one (picture below)... How much does the GFX cost (painted) and where do you get it from?
