I dont have pictures of my car but here was a thread from a forum member. The different is very minor but look nicer in person plus i didn't care since they were less than $100. IMHO, the rear GFX is the best piece then the front GFX and the side just compliment the whole set up.

I don't know if 3m tape is a good idea to put these on! I'm assuming thats what the user used in the link you posted. (I like them lol)

I have an SGM so colour match is something I'm concerned with.... i.e. colour change from sun exposure of my car and putting new sides on

Did you use epoxy?

The sides were direct swapped from the OEM (no epoxy needed). I bought the front and rear used and the previous owner cut off the tabs so we had to use epoxy. No issues so far after almost a year. I also used gray RTV for fill the gap since i am very picky about having gaps (will try to take some pictures)
I also have SMG and the color match almost perfectly. Especially my is 2006 and spends all its life in sunny California. I think it is due to the fact the the car did fake too much on the vertical surfaces and hard to see the difference on the sides.

I ordered from that website and they wanted an extra $130 on top of the quoted shipping charge. While $62 is a great deal, shipping and handling killed it.

(bump)
where might one find a front gfx lip for an 09-10 is250? MyLParts only has the kits for other years and the front lip of 09-10 is different from the 06-08.
