I didn't realize that having a paid for IS meant that I was going to be helpless to resist:
-35% 3M tint (ceramic)
-19x8.5 Toyo Proxes & Falken Gunmetal wheels
-Aerotect blue film over fog lights
-3M protective clear front end bra
-Ground Effects OEM Body Kit
-debadged rear end & black pearl "L"'s on front grille & trunk lid

Luckily my package had HID's standard.

My pics are being rejected as files that are too large.

Will try to post them in the IS 250 gallery...

 

could you post or PM me info on the black pearl L emblems (front and rear). . . im interested in them if money persists. Pics would be great too!!!

 

when you debadged your car, are there holes behind the "lexus" and "is250"?

 

No, they're actually attached to the car by the laws of gravity.

 

We've all said that this will be the last mod...Then something new comes out, or there's a group buy, or an improved version of what you already have. You might want to re-phrase the thread to "Final modification/addition...for now!"

 

The little plastic black pearl letters were starting to fall off (bad adhesive), even though installed by Lexus dealer. I trashed the "IS 250 AWD", and "Lexus" off of the trunk. They crumbled coming off with dental floss and hairdryer.

The replacement "L" logos surrounded by circles are made of a metal-like material and attached much more securely, and I am happy keeping those. You can see those from my pics in the gallery.

Yes, there are 2 small holes on each side. They do not go through to the trunk. They are tiny, and not discernible unless you're within 2 feet of the back end and know exactly where to look. I don't believe they're visible in any of the pics, which were taken at pretty close range.

 

can you post up a close up pic of the holes. i want to see before i decide i want to do this or not. thanks alot!

 

I attempted to post in this thread, and was given a message that my file size was too big. In the gallery section, there is unlimited file space, and it accepted 10 pics last night, several of which show the back end, and can be enlarged to mammoth proportions by clicking on the pic a second time.

I think that you'll understand what I mean when I say that they're all but invisible under normal viewing conditions.

 

nope...but there is a huge neon sign that comes on above the car that says "i'm a ricer with money"

 

Oh ***** man, that was ........well it was what it was.

 

I've been called worse. "Neon" huh? All along I thought it was greyish-black.

 

Noticable or not, emblems look better than holes.

 

Not when the emblems are falling off on their own. I understand I could have had the dealer repair, but one look at the "I" hanging off sideways, and the "s" in Lexus peeling away, and my decision was made.

I still challenge anyone to look at the pics in the IS gallery and tell me that the holes are noticeable from any realistic view.

 

Hey Solomoan Thanks for the heads up on the De-badging the car. Turned out great!!
For the holes what i did was, i cut a small round piece of 3m clear left over clear bra.

I put it on and put a DOT of touch up paint. its invisible now. I will post later when i get home.


thanks again

 

What kind of Crack are you smoking to assume this.

Some People De-badge their cars to have a cleaner look in there OWN opinion.

Don't confuse it with ricer because ricer will actually remove their badge and put on another one that does not even belong there!
