Am I the only one who is dissapointed with the lexus aero kit?
I mean don't get me wrong Varok, your car looks great. I just think lexus could have done a much better job. Being a factory kit, I would have expected the bumpers and side skirts to be "replacements" and not "stick-on" pieces that overlap the stock pieces. And then it's not even that different than the stock valences. I don't think the average person would even notice that the IS they were looking at was different than a stock one.

I somewhat agree with the kit not being replacements but I think most car manufacturer who offers similar OEM kits does it the same way. It's always the 3rd party makers who usually does a better job in replacements but keep in mind that they don't offer the same quality and will signficantly reduce the structural integrity of the car in case of damage.

I still think it there's some significant difference from the stock one. You just need to see it in person.

Can someone describe to me the difference between the stock side skirts and the aero kits' side skirts. To me they look identical. Is the only difference is that its just a lil bit bigger?
