Those housings are pretty worn and need to be wetsanded which means essentially they will need to be polished at least once a year going forward. I did find a nice set of housings online and bought them for a good price. I ordered some replacement tabs, ordered a set of ballasts and the blinker relay. If everything goes as planned, I should have this refresher phase it done in 2-3 weeks.

Refinished wheels are back and look so good, freshly repaired/painted/ceramic coated. Here's a preview... they should look great with the F-sport brake package.

Would F sport center caps fit your wheels? That's +4 more badges!

Not sure if they will fit but I'm going to stick with the Rays "R" center caps. I did pick up the "F-sport" valve stem caps though.

Very nice! Wish I could afford some 5-spoke Gram Lights on my 350.

2013 headlights installed! New gauges installed! And found a great Black Friday deal on the F-sport exhaust, so pretty! Should be installed by this weekend and then the build is done! Lot's of pics and details to come next week. It will be a Merry Christmas!

Done! Will have better quality pictures in the future but I am so happy with the outcome. The IS350 looks new again. Better than new!

I'm very happy the way it is now. Nothing scrapes or drags and I'm not worried driving it. It's also very "clean" look. If I see a lip or rear valence that I love, I would definitely get it.

Gauge needle LED's are one of my favorite mods!
