I don't really see a point in getting a CF Front Bumper for a 2IS...

Thanks for the pics!!!
I am with E114. I am sure this is a show-off setup for SEMA. It can be slick if CF pieces painted with matching color in semi-transparent tone.


That is Dav's 350, with Blitz front grill and customized Endless BBK, and I am sure that is not the only set of wheels he got!

A nice guy with good heart on all his rides!

Its very flattering to see the aftermarket respond to Lexus the way it has! Quite a few Lexus being modeled!

The first looks very cheap.
It needs to be painted, it's called class.

That's why we bought Lexus's. Not Hondas.

if the cf bumper was subtle, i would get it. the reason is that i have too many rock chips already...and if the price is better than repainting, i would get it...as long as it is subtle.

how is that "kinda ricey". "ricey" is defined as a mod that serves no performance addition whatsoever. but does the too much non-painted carbon fiber look ugly? imo yes..
