Seibon GFX on 2008 IS
Ok, So I just spoke with the guys at Seibon and they are telling me that the Front Lip for the 2IS only fits 2006-2007 models... they said that Lexus modified the bumper in 2008 and the Front lip wont fit... is this true, I thought they only changed it in 2009... has anyone used the Seibon front lip on a 2008? Was there any change of the bumper from 2007 to 2008 or is it the same?

Thats what I said.. But Seibon told me I could buy it but that "I have been warned, and if the front lip does not fit it's not returnable"... I spoke with someone at JM Lexus I know... he's looking into it for me but he thinks same as me, there shouldnt be any difference in the bumper...

Even this website says its 06-08... http://www.carbonfiberhoods.net/seib...le-p-3134.html
Kinda sucks that Seibon doesn't know what cars their product is compatible on... some resellers say only 06-07 some say 06-08... Ill probably just get it and take the gamble I guess...

Ya think? And they try to tell me on the phone that there was a "small facelift" in the 2008 model bumpers... I was like really... I dont think so, I know Lexus... lol, I even checked with JM Lexus and a friend of mine confirmed that the bumper part numbers are identical for 2006, 2007, and 2008 meaning there was no change... I tried to explain this to Seibon, but the guy on the phone told me that he personally installed a front lip on an early model 2008 no problem but a late model 2008 was not compatible.... I was like yeah, ok.... Then it was prob a 2009...
