Default Need Advice - 09 Toms Chin+GFX side and rear?

Hey guys,

i've been searching for bodykits for 09 body and there's only a few selections for it...

i plan to get a toms front chin and gfx side and rear. my question will the toms 09 front chin match the gfx side and rear? is the front chin lower or same height as the gfx side skirts? i want it to be the same height so the front chin will flow with the side skirts...

does anyone have the toms side skirts here? i'm guessing if the toms side skirt are the same height as the gfx one it will flow very nice... from the picture of the toms kit i think it's the same level/height with the gfx kit but i just want to make sure before i purchase one...

hope you can help me out thanks

pic of the toms 09 front chin:

It looks like the side of the front lip is a modest extension just like the OEM GFX. With that, the GFX on the previous models are about the same as the side skirts. Hence, the Tom's will be modest and similar to the gsx side skirts. I think it'll look great! Go for it and post some pics if/when you get. I'm still searching for the perfect front lip!!! Patience is a virute rewarded with an awesome front lip!!!

haha...i was just thinking about this the other day

i'm not a fan of the Tom's rear for the 09, so i was thinking about doing the GFX rear, possibly with the GFX sides too.

also, interested in a vendor that will sell the Toms front only

I'm not looking for the front spoiler, but I've been looking to find Tom's 09 rear bumper.

Anyone know where to find 09 Toms body kit?

i can tell you, you get a clunking noise at the back and the ride is not as
comfort as advertised.
