Hey Jonathan. Glad to see you still poke your head in every once in awhile. I have not see your car in awhile. I like the changes, although I may not agree with all of them. 
Like a few others, I like the dress shoes better. 
I am also very happy to see you are getting high visibility projects. The risk you took in going back to school seems to be paying off.
for you.

Car brings on a bit of early year 2k (even late 90's) styling with those lights and the two tone hood. It reminds me of a friend's honda that use to win all kinds of shows. I do love the 3rd brake light on the roof spoiler but wished you painted it black along with the trunk spoiler.

Wow..... I'm sorry, but I have to say this.
1 out of a 10, I give this a 2. I like the over all detailing, however there's TOOOOOOO MUCH of a good thing on here.
Things you NEED to get rid off.
Smoked LEDs - Put in some OEM 01+ 2nd gen Tail lights. It'll look 10x better!
Black Top of your trunk - WTF is that??
Black Roof - Wtf??
Stop using ebay!!!!!
I'm sorry, but nice try. This is a LEXUS. Not a Civic.
Not trying to hate, just trying to save you from wasting more of your money on meaningless crap.

Man, I remember when I first joined CL, seeing your car on the boards and all of a sudden you disappear?
It's good to see you back and I hope all is well. The car is looking good. I wanted to see this color combo with the two tone look and you answered my questions?Keep up the good work!

Hey look an apologetic hater, but I’m not surprised. There seems to be more and more kids like you on these forums lately. Son, I was on these forums before you even had a driver’s license and while you’re entitled to your opinion, you delivery definitely lacks tact. The funny thing is I kinda understand where your hate is coming from, but if you think that driving a Lexus makes you any better than someone who drives a Civic, you got a lot more to learn about life. In the immortal words of one….
If I remember correctly, I think I saw him looking for tinted tails in the classifieds.

The 3rd brake light was from spoilerlights.com. A dremel, some bondo, aluminum foil, and a lot of sanding. Sorry I lost all the DIY pics when my hard drive crashed.

I wanted to say thanks for everyone's comments. Its good to know that while we won't entirely agree on everything, this forum still has stand up members new and old, who can come here and discuss topics on our cars with an open mind. If we all thought the same way, all our cars would look the same and that's no fun.

Lookin good jawnthen
The tail looks good b/c of your silver/black theme-you pulled it off goodly
Thank you for this shot. I've been meaning to request this in photoshop.
The other person who had the lower black valence was socalsc4, but I think his was CF on the RMM bumper.

Too bad about the haters; I suppose everyone has an opinion (etc.)
Kudos for taking a chance and creating something original!
I like the bigger wheels better, but wheels are my thing...
My only comment would be... use a little 'pimp juice' on the tires.
