Default 09 ISx50 GFX / F-Sport Sides: $60 @ Sewell (GFM and SGM)

Is this a typo? Only a couple of colors are marked down to this price.

Shipping is as much as the parts, but for $120 seems like a steal.

It's legit! Guy in one of the build threads with a GFM picked some up.

Wish the TP colored parts would go on super sale!

I don't even really want them, really hard for me to see the difference between OEM, but I feel like I should buy them at that price.

Its a great deal for anyone with those two colors, anyone else probably not. The difference is very noticeable in person.

In pictures it's quite hard to see the difference, in real life it is very easy. They look fantastic, and are worth the money.

This is a steal!
Do you guys think it will look good with GFX front, but no rear?

Posted these in another thread
I was told they do not go lower but more outward instead. If you look closely you can see.
I have a set on the way. For $110 it was too cheap.
If I can find a deal on the rear then the IS will be rounded out complete.

Found these pics from a previous post on CL.

^ wow that does look great! sewell needs to use those pics - their before/after makes it almost impossible to see the difference.

EDIT: yeah, I bought a set. Can't pass it up for $120, and that pic above really shows the difference well. I figure I can always sell my OEM ones and come out about even on the deal.

Yeah, I ended up getting the GFX sides too since I already have the F-Sport fronts and the GFX rear. If they did not offer it at that price, I probably wouldn't have bought it since they are not too easy to notice. You can see the difference easier in person when you are looking at the car; it's hard to tell in most photos.
