I did the front, but not the sides. I really like it and dont' think it looks weird without the sides. Some will say it does, but the front is where you will see the biggest difference.
Here is a pic with the front, but no sides........

I like them, but they are definitely subtle, which is what I happen to like.

i would get them, i think if your getting gfx front & rear you have to get the sides or the kit wont look complete. but check your local lexus dealer, get the part number before you contact them, i had to give my dealer the part# bcuz they didnt kno what part i was asking for, they quoted me $125 for both sides.

It is very subtle but I definitely noticed it getting into the car the first time. Sticks out just a little bit more than stock but I quickly got used to it.

I'd say worth. Even the wife commented on how aggressive the sides look. For $150 it is a non decision.

Cheap enough for me to say its defo worthwhile. The additional width is subtle but noticable. Seems a little easier to spot on white and black cars though

Anybody with Tungsten Pearl GFX side skirts looking to get rid of their stockers? Just bought a '09 IS350 and the passenger side skirt is scratched up pretty bad just behind the front tire. Price in shipping to 76002. Thx, Nick

PS - I plan to post my own WTB thread but as a noobie can't post new threads yet...

cleanest stockish combo: gfx front, toms sides, gfx rear. don't have to worry about scraping or anything and looks legit.

I'd say go full GFX kit including sides... Alot of people I've talked to said that the sides make a difference when you look at them everyday after the GFX install... do it!

what sides are people using instead of GFX, GFX sides in my color are 300+ shipping from sewell...not worth it.

I've also been considering some sides and a rear soon, unfortunately my local lexus dealer doesn't sell the GFX sides and rear anymore and honestly its expensive from sewell.. duno any other options.

I'll be checking my local dealers as soon as my $500 GC from the recall gets here as I'm also looking at adding the sides so I'll have the full kit. I've noticed that Sewell has been raising their prices on quite a few items lately and my local has been beating them.
