yes they do as do the VIII MRs. They're kinda in a bad spot imo. You can't glance at them, it's more of a turn your whole head down and squint at them... they're pretty small. they can't even be 52mm.

It is an option on the IX, but standard equipment on the MR. I just bought my 06' GG MR, and it comes standard (at least mine did) with the brake air guides, rear spoiler lip, and the extended front air dam too.

I agree, they are in a crappy spot.

Actualy, I was wrong (won't be the last time I'm sure about that). The air guides, spoiler lip, and extended front air dam are extra, but you can save $$ by ordering the "zero lift kit" package, which mine had.

The gauge kit is standard. I will swap the radio and the gauges around just like I did with my 03' to make it easier to read, as well as move the boost gauge over to the left. It is not placed well as is, that is for sure.

I swapped my radio and gauges, it takes all of 30 minutes, and moved the boost gauge to the leftmost spot. I like it a lot more now.

They charge you $300 MSRP extra for it, but that's not much more than its invoice price of $270.
