Do they ad some flakes in the paint like Lexus does to ad to the reflection? It makes it less flat. Probably just the pics tho.

Unique color in a state full of IS. I like.

The car looks AMAZING!!! The only thing I would recommend to make it even better is to add a bit of contrast to it. What I mean by that is that you should get change your wheel lips to an anodized or chrome finish, and that will make your car look a lot better!! Oh, yeah, and please take more pics!!!

Does the Brembo Grill come with the dark lip? Or did you paint the stock lip around the grill.

What brembo grille? the blue part of the grille is the CarsonTuned Carbon Fiber grille painted the same color as the car and the other part is just the OEM chrome housing painted Black Chrome.

Do you mean like the places under the engine? if so then no. They painted the sides though


Oh yea and whoever asked about my wheels, they are:

Klass Forged KF-2
Custom Made 3-Piece Forged
www.modularsociety.com

19x8.5 front plus a 3mm spacer (the wheels were made to clear my stoptech bbk not my new brembo setup and the brembo is a lil bigger so I had to add spacers)
19x9.5 rear

I'd like to see a blue ring around the edge of the lip.....maybe even the whloe lip but that might be overkill. Nice work.

Beautiful! I prefer a Lexus logo on the grill though. Your color + rims reminds me of the blue 08 TL typeS I smoked last night
