I tried loading them on a friend's site and here is the link: http://www.carolinamodelsonline.com/riojeansgallery.htm All pics should allow you to click on them to enlarge.....

Never done that before and don't have a photobucket account. Can I e-mail someone the pics and they host them, put them up, something? Thanks,

Top picture is stock and bottom is with full OEM GFX (This is where I was going to post before and after pics but every time I click "choose file" and find the pic I want to upload and hit "choose" on my computer, then it show up as a file next to the "Choose File" below, and then hit the "upload" button, it keeps saying I did't select a file to upload) Sorry if that didn't make sense, just trying to figure out how to post a pic......

Well, I instaleld the front lip, sides and back and I have to say that it does make a difference. I had wrestled with the idea myself of just doing the front GFX because I noticed the biggest difference with the front, and the sides I barely noticed much of a difference and the back I heard was difficult to do but my fiance convinced me to just do the whole thing. After doing it all I am so gald I did the whole kit. It makes it look more complete in my opinion. The front then blends better with the sides and the back creating a visual line/connection between them. The sides stick out more and are difficult to notice in pictures but if you walk up to the car you definitely notice the difference. Overall, I am just glad I took my fiance's advice because it was made as a compelte kit for a reason and was super easy to install (takes a few hours).

Well after some deliberation and a lot of haggling....lol, I finally made my decision that I liked it. I don't think the car looks bad either way and I don't think it makes a drastic difference, but the more I look at it the more I like it and the more I noticed it. Funny thing is that I ordered the illuminated scuff plates for $166 online (since the dealer wanted to charge me $560 to order and install them) and got the complete Ground Effects Kit for $1,000 from the dealer before the Lexus I wanted even came in to their dealership after they located it. It was kinda weird having all these parts to a car that I didn't even have. I was patiently waiting since they took over $4,200 off MSRP of a IS250..

Thanks for the replies: GDixon- I was meaning more along the lines of if I would notice a difference in how it looks more than performance. I just didn't know how much of "subtle" difference it made. I saw the "more aggressive stance", but I didn't really recognize the difference from other Lexus IS 250's that I had seen and I was unsure if it either made very little difference in looks or maybe every IS 250 I see has the Ground Effects. Tango- Thanks for the picks. I may be retarded but I don't really notice much of a difference. Do the skirts on the side of the bottom picture stick out a little more? Maybe it has something to do with the angle of the pics, I don't know........What about the back one, does that look a little more different? Thanks again for both of you adding a reply and if anyone else can help me see the difference I would appreciate it.....

I saw the OEM Lexus Ground Effects Kit and just wanted to know how different this really ends up looking (I haven't purchased my Lexus IS 250 yet, 1 more week)? http://beta.lexus-parts.com/parts_detail.a...70032&all=Y The company said that it was a subtle change. I am wondering if around $1,000 is worth a "subtle" change. I have a difficult time noticing how different it even looks when seeing the pictures of the car on the website (maybe it has the ground effects kit on it) and seeing the pictures on the seller's website. Does anyone have a before and after picture or a way to show it with and without? Thanks in advance, I just want to know if it is worth it.......... (If someone has it in black, even better, but I know beggars can't be choosers.....lol). Thanks!
