You should just wrap the whole car! =)

IMHO.....I am not a fan. It's too much going on (I'm just referring to the hood). If you like it though.....then it's a win for you. I think you should get an aggressive type kit to compliment the carbon fiber. I do like how the carbon fiber looks on the hatch with the new inner tails....looks coo.

What happened to the sunroof visor?

just wait till i get everything on the car sway. right now people are 50/50 with the online opinions with liking and not liking, when i get the car finished it's gonna look pretty nasty. she's kinda in the middle growth phase when you're growing your hair out and it's not quite cool looking yet. lol far as the visor, that was the broken one, i put it up there to get opinions. Everybody said it was too busy with it on there. Maybe i'll just resell it when the replacement comes in. only reason i'd want to keep it is because it's jdm and hard to find. but back to the car, it's also a TOTALLY different look in person. it's very very very hard to justify the vinyl in pics. and no i'm not wrapping the whole car. i don't have a lambo, it's an old lexus. ha.

going to leave the grill alone for now. i like black grills so don't really see a reason to swap it out other than just because it's factory. which isn't a good reason for me.

haha...yeah for sure bro....I'm sure it will look better once everything is done! I do like the hatch though.....the new inner tails looks clean with the carbon fiber. Nice contrast. I still think you should wrap the whole car! It's a Sportcross....not just an old Lexus! lol =)


You should get an Altezza sport mesh or a Ltuned carbon fiber....will look much better.

haha....but now you liking the new inner tails though right!?!? lol

Hit up DB8 on my.is. He's a legit vendor that will source you JDM quality products fast and ships hella quick. You can slap a Lexus emblem for sure. The l-tuned one comes in carbon fiber and the sport mesh altezza comes in any factory color. I think MSM painted mesh with a black pearl "L" emblem will look clean! The ltuned carbon fiber would match nice but it may be overkill? Whatever you decide to get....it will look 100x better than stock. =) Even the Altezza 3 bar grills will look good....especially the smoked option.
