Couple updates for now...not sure about the blue LED puddle lights, might change them to white to be more functional.
Just waiting to instal the Project Mu brake pads - from ModInJapan, thanks!
*On the taillights.. This is the second set I purchased (previously on my 2012 IS350), they are advertised as 06-08 but can say with twice the confidence, they work on 2009+ and even F models. Plug and play.

Just some quick updates on my progress, my love for carbon fiber is pretty obvious at this point. I was able to salvage my front grille surround, far from perfect but looks good from anything beyond 2 feet so I'll leave it for now. I decided to also make a custom center console since the chrome around the shift gate was peeling. I made the cutout resemble a manual transmission, not trying to fool anyone but it does cut down on people making the "oh it's an automatic " comment.
I also got my mufflers deleted which really made the car a lot more fun to drive, couldn't bring myself to drop some serious $$$ on a true exhaust system at this stage, but eventually I will go that route. Had a local shop fab a custom pipe so the stock muffler section can go back on at anytime without extra modifications.
Cool group of cars my friends have: 1969 BMW 2002 and a 1968 Pontiac Firebird convertible- naturally the American car was having issues

Couple more updates - Finally got around to installing my Wald rep spoiler and TSW Nurburgrings (used for winter mode). Still waiting on the custom F emblem for the rear spoiler so it's a little incomplete.
TSWs looked good for a winter setup IMO. Specs are 18x8 +35 all around (narrow tires = better snow/ice traction and ability to rotate fully). I wanted to run these wheels for a little bit to make sure there was no rubbing/fitment issues. Unfortunately the tires didn't want to cooperate, waiting to mount some fresh Blizzaks on them in a few months.
Also going to do a nice little custom work on the front emblem, but for now a little color shift black/blue plastidip.
