Looks nice. I always did like the TOMs kit. However, it's not too practical for us in Toronto. It'll act as a snowblade with all the snow we've been getting this year.

Thanks for the comments guys.
I’m probably going to getting the rear soon. I probably should have bought the whole kit at once. I’m also going to either buy the Tanabe exhaust or do a custom exhaust, then of course rims.

BTW, are those the bumper plugs you have one your front bumper? 4 of them if I'm not mistaken?
yep I have 4 bumper plugs. When my dealer prepped the car they put on the front plate bracket. Then they put the Lexus paper plate on and the screws they used were long and made holes in the bumper. I wasn’t very happy when I took the front plate.

A few Q:

1. How hard was the installation [DIY, Pro, ect].

2. Is it a bolt-in-place or adhesive or both.

3. Does the existing front lip need to be removed.

Thanks, and it really looks great on your ISx50...
The install was pretty easy. I would say that even a novice would have no problems.
The lip is adhesive and bolt. The font is held on with 3M adhesive and underneath there are 4 bolt brackets. Then there are 2 screws one on each side that go on the sides.
No the front lip is not to be removed. It needs to be there so the Tom's has something to adhere to.

I bought it without paint. I know you can buy it painted but I wanted to make sure that it was going to match perfectly. I got the lip from my buddys shop for $520 shipped.

Toptier -

I see from your signature that you have an IS350 - do you have the Eibach Pro-Kit for the IS350 or the Pro-Kit for the IS250 on your car?

The reason I ask is that it seems like your drop is a little deeper than the normal IS350 Pro-kit that I've seen pics of on this forum. Thanks...

I got it from my buddies shop here in CO called TC Performance. He hooked me up since I spend a lot of money there.

Front lip looks awesome! Very Lexus-like, smooth, integrated, clean, and not overdone. Also like your stock rims with the springs. This is how it should all come from the factory- subtle, yet sportier. Well done.
