About $200 shipped is pretty high. I guess I'll be changing to hex's.

screw that.. I say something like remove all the lugs from his car and wait for him, then when you see him.. start running to him and see if he takes off. That will definitely teach him a lesson the first time he trys to burn away.

If he finds him.. I say whip his *** and tell him he gives asians a bad name. I hate f'in theives.. cant do anything other than trying to make a quick buck. I bet that guys asian parents don't have a clue. (I am Korean fwiw.)

Not cool man. I dont care if your asian or not, perpetuating stereotypes is one thing I hate. I know alot of good Asian people and some bad ones at well, just like any other race. Race has nothing to do with this issue.


I dont wanna have to get a new custom screwdriver to get the hex screws in. Is there an adaptive connecter with hex fittings on one side and phillips fitting on the other so that you can use the adapter as a key to remove hex screws using a regular phillips screwdriver????

I need this protective mod too. U think pepboys or autozone carries these? It sux that we have to watch our asses like this, it makes me sick.

I know this is old, but the sad part is, he was probably trying to jack them so he could 'retro' them into his bumper for his jdm foglights...lame.

I know a few people have quoted this and already mentioned something, but are you not going to correct yourself or state a reply back to it?

Dont forget Lexus is Japanese and Japanese are asians. Pretty ignorant to say something like that.

For those with stock bumpers.. get some Tamper Proof Screws. It's usually on electronics. Needs a special screwdriver with a hole in the center. They also make them in hex also with the stud in the center.

Ditto to that....I got Vertex kit....so fogs are secured from backside.

Yes...those screws or similar ones are the way to go for stock bumpers.
