Good comparison, but the person above is correct. I always have to look twice to confirm if someone has GFX. VERY subtle.

can you post a link of Lexus of Westminster's listing for them? I cant seem to find anything other than a 1500.00 Ground Effects and a rear spoiler on there and I cant "add to cart" or anything like that.

exactly.. if you saw them, you wouldn't be able to tell they're gfx sides.. unless of course you either have them yourself.. or the person has the entire kit

Thx for this thread as it's helped me decide that it's not worth it for me to buy the GFX.

the front and back you can tell easily but if someone just had the side skirts only then it would not make any difference. sides not worth 180, maybe for 100 to complete the gfx kit.

Personally if people have to make comparison threads and even then its hard to tell. It's not worth it unless you just want to say you have the "complete kit" lol.

Wow. Just yesterday someone suggested I get these. Thanks for the comparison pics, that really shows a lot to me.

Dang. I SWORE my intake was going to be my last mod.... sittin' on the fence now. I need to stay away from this place. You all are making me spend money I don't have. And when I got this car I promised myself I would just keep it stock. Stop me. Stop me now.

Yeah I got my GFX sides from Sewell for 75+ shipping. Very subtle, but hey, it was pretty dirt cheap, so I didn't mind too much
