Size difference of IS 250 2006 vs 2009 (for fitting a Wald Style bodykit)
Hello again,
I have never done any kind of mods on my IS 250 AWD 2006, its high time I gave the old girl some much needed mod.
I have decided to do a major makeover by getting her a full exterior body-kit, I particularly like this Wald Style kit @ USD 1050 + Shipping. However, I am not sure if I should get it or not, because it says it fits the 09-UP Lexus IS250/300. I talked to the supplier and he does not now if it will fit the 06 models or what are the differences in dimensions (if any).
Im sure the back part will fit fine. Not sure about the front bumper, front fenders and the side skirts.
Can anyone give me some advise as to any issues I may face with a proper fitment.
Hope someone can give me some advise.
Cheers

First off, if the entire kit is 1K + shipping, then its probably a replica so the fitment may be off.
Anwyays to answer your question, every rear lip and side skirt will fit any year 2IS. The front bumpers are different for 06-08, 09-10, and 11+ so the front lip wont fit your car

So the pic shows a replica of the Wald kit for an IS F. I assume this company made it fit an IS 250/350. Your grille surround is different than the 09' and up. You're chancing the front not fitting at all. You may have to buy the new grille surround. To me it's not worth buying that kit because it may not fit well because its a replica and you're not even sure it'll fit your front end. Good luck.

Yes its a replica. Its not a Wald, but a Wald Style.
Thank you all for the input. I think it will fit like ##it as well. Will see for something else.
Drive safe you all.
