Default My car's new facelift

As you may recall, I asked for some opinions on redoing my bumper. Here is the original thread and pics. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=217381

Well after debating it a while and listening to the comments, I decided to go my own way. I appreciated the comments of the original bumper, but I felt it was time for a change. My car was undergoing a midlife crisis and needed a little sprucing up. So I added a HKS Kansai hood, and my new bumper.

Tell me what you all think, all comments appreciated.

My friend at the body shop did the extensive work. He custom fabricated the end tank coverings, and molded the TTE lip. He told me to shave off the emblem part but I liked the emblem so I am trying to order another emblem. Overall, it is totally functional, and I think it looks cool. Not too over the top like some of the larger mouth intercooler openings that I was researching.
