Default Wald Lip and GFX Side Skirts?

Hello all,

What do you guys think of a wald front and rear with GFX side skirts? Are the sides too subtle to go with the rest of the car? I have an 08 IS350.

Isnt this a picture of your car OP from another thread?https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...-08-is350.html I personally think the wald lip isnt bulky enough that you have to have sideskirts right away. But personally, I would be saving up for the sides and rear to finish it off.

The Wald front probably hans ~1" lower than GFX sides. As someone else mentioned Hoovey2411 had this setup (I guess he still technically does but he has since added some CF beneath the GFX sides). It flowed pretty well actually, but if you're OCD the lower front will bother you.

I would go with Vertex sides in this case. The way the Vertex front is shaped makes the height differential more obvious.

Does anyone know where I can buy or someone who is selling gfx side skirts for a 2012 is250? If so please let me know. I heard that they discontinued this item, another question I have is if I buy gfx side skirts from an older model will they fit on my car? I don't see why they shouldn't. Thanks in advance.
