Default Will a 2016 IS Bodykit fit a 2014 IS?

Hey, I was looking around in the FAQ but couldnt find any information on my question. Basically I was wondering if the dimensions were the same for the 2014 IS F Sport and a 2016 IS F Sport, as I want to install a bodykit that is made for a 2016 IS.

The bodykit im looking at is:

It's made for a 2016+ models, and I own a 2014 Lexus IS. I'm mainly interesting in installing:
FRONT UNDER SPOILER
TRUNK SPOILER


The front under spoiler, I can see not fitting, but how about the trunk spoiler?

That looks like a 17+ model from the front grill.

I'm fairly sure its 2016. The part can also be ordered through : http://www.nigel-jdmparts.com/index....roduct_id=2559
which refers it as a 2016.

Also in the title of : http://artisanspirits.co.jp/car-line...-bl/index.html

IS F SPORT GSE/AVE/ASE 3# < 2016.10- >

The 2016.10 part refers to what time frame the kit is released for. Although its still 2016 and not 2014.

The fitment is for 2017+.
The title says 2016.10 depicting the production month (October 2016, which would be 2017 model year)

The address your question, a 2016 body kit would fit a 2014, however, the link you provided is for 2017+.

Headlights, exhaust, bumper accents. Definitely a 2017.

The trunk spoiler will fit without issue, the bumper will not, as it will only fit the 2017+.

Thanks to everyone who responded and for the help. I appreciate it.

I will most likely just get the trunk spoiler since the front lip wont fit.

This isn't exactly true. In Japan, model years aren't really used for cars, they instead use the actual production/calendar date, which is actually the same as it was for North American spec cars on the 3IS, however we typically use model years instead.

April 2013 to October 2016 are the early model 3IS (this corresponds to the 2014-2016 model years)
October 2016 - Present are the late model 3IS (this corresponds to the 2017+ model years)

Most 2016 production Japanese-spec IS models are the early style, the refreshed body was only produced for 3 months at the end of 2016.

I actually purchased the JDM fog lights from you and am waiting on the delivery. Your site was the one i was considering if I do go ahead and decide to go with it.
