Default New Mods, New Pic's

I have done some mods to my Lexus, but haven't really took a pic to put it on CL. So this is what I got so far more to come. I would like to know how does it look so far... any suggestion....

Thanks.

As you can notice on the second pic, my 3rd brake light is modified.

^ Thanks a lot for comments. I know drop would enhance the cars overall look, but this is my everyday car so I have been thinking of doing that or not, but don't want to low, as of now I'm saving money for my next mod, which is drop the car.

Looks really clean. I like the 3rd brake light!

You can drop it a lil bit, an inch or two, and still be able to use it as a daily.

Just as others said, a drop wouldn't hurt at all!
And IMHO the headlight covers can go aaand you could un-tint the stop-lights.

I think it looks real good....add the drop and it'll look even better!

What kind of trunk lip spoiler is that? That's nice!

They have spring/strut combos that will give you a mild drop and won't sacrifice comfort.

NICE daily! haha. Agreed with everyone else, a small drop would look great. I'm not a fan of the headlight covers either. The tint on the taillights are okay since they are not to dark. I was reading that if someone hits you and your tails are tinted, they can claim its your fault because they couldn't see your brake lights. Anyways, looks good and where did you take the pictures?

I do appreciate for the comments and suggestions, as I mentioned I'm saving some money to get spring/strut combos to have mid drop, I have to agree that drop will enhance the cars overall look. I have done a lot of research about mid drop and it looks nice, most important you don't loose comfort.

nice car, but not liking the eyelids, tinted brake lights, your 3rd brake light up by the roof line is dim, maybe it shows better at night, and your left exhaust is hanging kind of off center.

and is that the jp wing, or the ebay wing??? either way looks nice.

I'm not overly excited about the tinted tail lights or headlight brows, but I like the rear spoiler, roof spoiler and custom 3rd brake light. My car is a daily driver too and I've lowered it on Tein CS v2 set at 1 finger-gap all around. The ride is very comfy and doesn't feel harsh at all. I also don't have problems going up/down most driveways and over speedbumps. If you get coilovers with adjustable damping, you cannot always adjust it to softer or firmer to suit your ride quality tastes. There are many brands out in the market right now that are reasonably priced that will deliver what you're looking for.
