I saw the OEM Lexus Ground Effects Kit and just wanted to know how different this really ends up looking (I haven't purchased my Lexus IS 250 yet, 1 more week)? Not asking about performance, just the looks........

The company said that it was a subtle change. I am wondering if around $1,000 is worth a "subtle" change. I have a difficult time noticing how different it even looks when seeing the pictures of the car on the website (maybe it has the ground effects kit on it) and seeing the pictures on the seller's website. Does anyone have a before and after picture or a way to show it with and without?

Thanks in advance, I just want to know if it is worth it..........

(If someone has it in black, even better, but I know beggars can't be choosers.....lol).

Thanks!

 

I have the OEM full kit on my car. Here are a couple of pics for reference. It is indeed pretty subtle especially the side skirts. You can't really tell the difference between the stock and GFX side skirts unless you have them side by side. In my opinion, the front and the rear lips makes the car look a little more aggressive more so on a darker color car. You should check it out at the dealer in person because pictures sometimes won't really give you the true determining factor for purchase.

the side and the rear are very hard to tell from stock, IMO only the front lip is worth the money.

 

Another member posted before and after pics, and it was on a black car.

Actually the rear is very easy to tell. It is the side which is barely noticeable.

 

yeah, the sides are very hard to tell, i only got the front and rear. dont regret not getting the sides at all.

 

Ever think about Tom's Sides???

 

I ve got the OEM front lip and a Toms rear lip is on the way , now for the sides I dont know yet.
