hey dunkin, u should get it from lexus of west minster. i just went on ebay, searched for "lexus gfx" u will see lexus of west minster as a venor selling the front ($79), sides ($99), rear ($99). if they dont have it in your color just get any other color n paint it at your local bodyshop. Total is $279 before shipping. u might be able to save on shipping if u combine the items together.

or you can give kerry a call at lexus of west minster to see if he can just sell u a whole set without having to go through ebay.

$1295 for the gfx complete set is ridonkulus!

hope this helps.

Thanks for the info.

I'm gonna give him a call tomorrow, he has sides and rear in color I need. If he doesn't have front may just get that from Sewell so I don't have to worry about having it painted. (If cost is $100 to paint, be bout the same cost) What would you do?

Do the kits come with all hardware to install kits or is that purchased separate?

I think since they don't have the correct color for your car that Sewell should not only paint it for free but give it to you for free and cover shipping.

I ALSO think a shower of candy and gumdrops is due to you from the Heavens for making you suffer through this hectic and arduous buying process.

Good luck with both of those.

iirc there is no "additional hardware" required to install the gfx kit. all you need are the right tools and a buddy to help you install it.

oh, and the ability to follow instructions goes a long way as well.

Wow people calm down here i was just saying what I thought was right. And the only reason why I said they should paint it is because they carried the color but just did not have it in stock "guy with the pink example?!?!". And thanks funnie for the info at least someone did not flame at me and helped out!

it's his sense of entitlement as a 2is owner seriously clouding any good judgment he might have had.
