Hey guys!!
saying bye bye to my black 08 is250 real soon ..just ordered a 09 model is250 here in australia. To be honest....the facelifted model is going to take a LONG time to grow on me haha...it just looks so much softer

anyway what i wanted to ask was...does anyone know if the Tom's front/side/rear will fit directly onto the 09 model?...cos i know the shape and overall design of the updated front bumper and rear r slightly different...and i feel like i hve to somehow toughen up the exterior lol...

anyhelp would be sweet

 

Front = no
Sides = I guess
Rear = maybe

 

09 GFX

09 LX-Mode

these may help you out.

 

wow, traded your 08 for a 09? you must have lost some $$

 

Why are you getting an 09 if you think your 08 looks nicer?

 

Maybe he likes soft?

 

Well if you read his post it doesn't really sound like it.

 

yeah thats my question unless his 08 was totaled??

 

boo for 09 models.. i see em all over now and i just can't get use to it cause mines looks better lol

 

haha good question why am i goign for the softer car?...
originally i went into the dealer with mind set on the isF...i really enjoyed the car duringthe test drive...but i honestly felt the extra power and stance in the isF wasnt worth the extra $60k more than the $90k top of the range is250. but don't get me wrong if i had nothing bettr to do with the extra cash I wouldnt hesitate to buy it!

So yes, my current car is the entry model is250 with the marklevinson upgrade and satnav etcetc. its a nice car but i guess knowing there is a model with more gadgets and functions to play with on the daily commute ..i needed the upgrade. Here in Aust, they're still selling the current models until they clear stock but at the same time selling the facelifted model in the dark..

i guess it was wiser to get the 09 model with all the goodies rather than the outgoing model for resale values next time.

haha tbh i havn't actually seen in person the 09 model i am purchasing, i only got a glimpseof the entry model 09 with 16" wheels in the molten copper colour...it was out the back of the dealrship and was all dirty..so i suspect thats why the 09 doesn't/hasn't appealled to me haha..

anyway im bored of black on black...ive ordered starfire pearl with black interior and black roof! also have a set of
Work BR II(?) black face
20x8.5 +30
20x9.5 +30(?)
ready to put on by the dealership haha

 

just because you have a different tail light?

 

those 09 tails are growing on me
that first time i looked at them in pics i thought they were disgusting
now i think they look way beta IRL
