Trying to find out if a GFX lip kit for a 09 IS250 will cover the scratches the previous owner put on the vehicle.

 

it will definetly make it harder to see those. but they wont get completly hidden

 

All of the scratches in the top picture should be covered right? Judging by this video: http://youtu.be/6g0zi_4wKRA

 

Hmm judging from the video it does look like the ones in the first pic will be covered, but not all the ones in the second.

 

Yeah it looks like its going to leave the entire center section exposed. Ordered some touch up from paintscratch.com so hopefully I will be able to touch all of that up and get it looking good again.

 

factory touch up paint from lexus IS NOT EXPENSIVE. just go get some its like 20 bucks i think

 

Yeah...but the factory paint they used to touch up other parts of the car with looked like crap. Stood out like a sore thumb and it was Lexus paint. Ordered the 3 stage kit from Paintscratch in hope that it will match better.

 

i believe the 09 gfx is just held on by 3m tape, so if you plan on dropping it some more, you should be careful

 

This. The scratches in the first pic will definitely be covered, however the scratches in the middle portion will still be partially exposed.

Each side of the gfx is held on by one bolt, 3 clips, and some tape.

 

Good to know....thanks!

 

yeah i would say sides will be fine but middle get some touch up pain. btw im planning on getting this front lip too. very nice!
