you probably should've bought the sideskirts when they were doing the group buy.

Yea the group buy was 200 for the whole kit. To be honest, the side doesn't make that much of a difference. It's very close to oem.

then you'll just have to wait until someone has them up for sale in the 2is for sale section.

that, or you'll need a toyota/lexus insider that can hook you up.

i can't direct you to anyone, but if you ask around, chances are you'll bump into someone that can...

you actually can get the side skirts for less than $160 shipped from Lexus of Westminister. You're in luck, i dunno if they have your color, but Lexus discontinued all of the Ground Effect Kit parts due to the 2009 model, so they're selling the front, side rocker panels, and the rear all for a discount price of under $150 each.

I just picked up a pair of black rocker side skirts for that much shipped. Hope you're in luck! You might wanna check with everywhere else too....some Lexus dealership may not do the discount, but I know Mag Lexus does. So get them before they're outta stock.

I totally agree that the sides don't really make much of a difference. To be honest, I was starring at it for 15 minutes and I swear I couldn't really tell even what the main difference were when I had the Rocker skirts side by side. Finally, I noticed that the Ground Effects Kit Skirt flares out a little bit more and it's shaped a little different. But you seriously can't even tell! =/ I guess that's why people get the Lexus OEM, because we like the ground effects subtle. But just a final note, the new skirts don't make your car sit lower than the stock skirts.


It's seriously just a piece of mind that you have COMPLETED the whole kit, your friend's who doesn't drive an IS ain't gonna know, your dad ain't gonna notice, and not to mention, your girlfriend ain't gonna know.
