Default Supercharged Most Beautiful Lexus X50 I Have Seen!

Sorry if this is a repost, is the owner of this car a member of this forum?

1) Where can you get the black chrome grill and emblems?

2) Where can you get the carbon fiber hood? Will it increase speed?

I'm betting he painted the chrome and the IS hood is already relatively light because its aluminum. You might be lucky and see tenths come off your time.

The wheels are my favorite on that car!

Never looked into it elsewhere, but you can get the hood on ebay.

if your sole intention is to reduce weight there's plenty of other ways to do so... CF hood is mainly for looks since our aluminum hood is not that heavy to begin with.
