Hi

Iīm from Sweden and have just bought a is200 -00 and was looking at some tuning/styling for my baby , ive got a adress from this site ( http://www.lextasy.com/ ) but i couldnt find anything for the is200 !? does the is300 styling fit the is200 ? the cars look the same to me ! withstupid.gif

The US do not have an IS200, only the 300, and yes, the kit should fit your 200 fine.

beg to differ my good man..

i have recently taken delivery off an IS300 body kit (via lextasy), and although the front and rear skirts fit across the width perfect, its the the area that curves around the back towards the wheel arch that is the problem.
Apparently due to the US safety specs about low speed impacts and bumpers, the bumpers are approx an inch longer (or deeper depending on your point of view) so i have now got to cut an inch out and join it before getting sprayed.

Just another point Wrath, from my personal dealings with Lextasy.(see this thread). i would suggest that you go elsewhere for your body kit..either Takiara or contact a person who goes by the name of ADVANCE (free plug eh), he may be able to source and offer a better service than Lextasy..

Well, I can't wait to see the finished project....

Fargo

strange that you have to cut anything out......

the bumpers are deeper, but thats to cover the thicker US crash bars.

i have test fitted is300 (us spec) bumpers upto mine, and they were a perfect fit......just deeper

not quite perfect if deeper ... surely

could you not fit the US crash bars ?

so if they are deeper then there is an overhang then, did you pull your forward to counter this
