Default do i have a GFX kit?

I have an 07 w/ xpackage...its obsidian.

I could only find the xpackage details for 08. I know I sound like a total newb but this all stems from my friends 2010 (he added GFX) which looks completely different then mine (i know there are some changes 09+) so I could actually already have the GFX kit that was available from 06-08 if it was dealer installed and it could have just been the years that made it look different. Ive been active on the RX300 and SC430 fourms but I havent really done anything with my IS.

Only mods include tint, 2 12 W6s in the trunk and the 2009 lobster claw 18s in chrome

Im hoping to mod more now that my car is exiting warranty and become more active with the IS community.

Thanks guys!

PS i can post a pic if it helps but i figured 07 + xpackage is enough

Ok so here is the front, im about to buy the rear kit from sewell (considering side skirts) and I want to make sure I have the front since mine was supposed to be an xpackage.

If its not the GFX then ill order it from sewell since im taking my car into the shop to have the rear bumper repainted im going to have them mount these too.

I would talk with the manager about that. See if they can work out in getting the GFX assuming you are entitled to.

If you're looking to save moola, I'd skip the GFX sides. They only flare out a little more than stock. If you just like having a complete set and it'll bother you not to have it, go for it!
