Default New Body kit for the 2IS

Here is the Element114 body kit as seen at the 2006 SD Night Shift (HIN)

The front section near the driving/fog light will be cut out and get the mesh like the center, they just ran out of time to get it done before HIN.

there doesn't seem to be much you can do with this car without making it and its lines look totally wrong.

Interesting. This is a full front and rear bumper kit. Not sure if I am completely sold. Looks like bad fitment, but you did say it wasnt fully completed for the show. I also see that they got rid of the reflectors on the rear. That makes a big difference.

Fat!? Man I think she looks good. Not too thin and not overweight for sure, but she is borderline to going on the heavy side. I'm sure with 1 kid she would baloon.

I like the lip of the rear wheel. Got any specs on the wheels?

On the second pic, there are two rear ends on there. Anyone notice. I think they're both nice looking.

The spoiler in the back is the Lexus factory wing, I think with the wing I put on the kit will match better

The spots pointed out on the front bumper where supposed to be mesh but the MFG ran out of time and had to bring it like it was.

Its hard to tell but the fit and finish is top notch, the bad lighting from the canopy makes odd shadows giving the impression the fits is a bit rough but it is not I assure you, this will make it on my car for sure I love the kit.

As for the chick… haha she got kind of pissy with me because I asked her to move when I was checking out the fit and finish of the kit, think she thought I should have been looking at her instead, you would think Element114 could have got better looking girls...

If you wanted to see the wheels there are all listed on Elemetn114's site www.Element114.com
