Default Question Regarding GFX Kit

Stupid question but does anyone know if the GFX kit will fit inside my car (IS350)? I'm going to pick up a full GFX kit from Lexus of Westminster this weekend and don't want to drive for one hour and look like an idiot when the boxes don't fit inside.
Any help would be appreciated

i saw some guy put the sides in the IS. u just have to sit the passenger seat all the way down and fit the sides in diagonally into the car. It should all fit in side car. you may have to leave a box or two at westminister =)

I got the rear to fit easily inside. When I picked up my sideskirts, I used my 97 altima, but it still fit. With the side skirts this is what i did since it didn't go in diagonally. Open driver's side rear door and front passenger door. Also, lay the passenger seat as flat as you can go. Pull the side skirt box in all the way while standing at the passenger door. From there you should be able to get it in. So the side skirts will be sitting on the passenger side seat and rear seat. Hope this helps a little.

Honestly you should install the front and sides yourself. It was very easy

my sister picked up the sides and rear and shoved them both into her tiny honda civic. Just put the front seat down and it should fit.

YES, It will fit in your 350. It fit in my 250 without any problem. You just cant take the box with you. Just dont have anyone in the back seat.

It'll fit. When I had my IS350 I picked up a GFX kit from the dealer and fit all the pieces in the car. I put the side skirts through the ski pass and the front and rear lips diagonally over the front passenger and rear driver seats.

Just leave the side skirt boxes and put the skirts through the little armrest door leading to the trunk. The front & rear lip should fit with the boxes
