lol. well lets see the end results. because the pics that you posted im sure have some serious money spend into them.
and molding an abs bumper to fiberglass would be quite difficult id imagine. but once again, lets wait til we see the end results. cant bash the poor guy off the bat.

goodluck pbbnxlite? just do it properly.

Hah, way too much bashing going on here. Give the guy a break, he's putting a lot of Time and Money into something he truly has a passion for. It's not necessary to call him a previous ricer owner or say he shouldn't do that because it's wrong on a Lexus. Call me Liberal, but I think you guys are being pretty harsh.

Good luck bro, hope it turns out nice.

I really don't think it will look bad. I just don't know if it will have the clearance for a daily driver.

well, unless he modifies how he said, it should/sounds like itd be ok. but those knockoff r34 bumpers are super low.
well, i dont really agree with it, but lets wait til the outcome.
and prays that they do it right.

I hope it balances out with the rest of the car. I believe in making things balance in order to look sleek and clean on a car. My future mods are subtle and will fit the character of my car. I'm very interested in seeing how yours turns out though, I can't imagine that kit on an ES...

Hope you cut enough to combine, or else you'll need some side skirts to balance out the car when you look at it from the sides

Not my flavor but the fact that you're going to a body shop and doing it right deserves much props. Def gotta post up pics when its done
