The headlights look kind of factory..but just with darker paint on the reflectors and inside. But that lip is the LX-Mode Sports

That's probably the Japanese (Hint: Steering wheel) plate holder and different in size for US plates.

that license plate frame is for JDM cars. you order it only through a japanese dealership and takes about 4 days to arrive. they only come as a front and back set and are about USD $160. these are way sexy in person.

About the base.. just take a USDM base to a body shop and paint it. $30? maybe!

$160? lol, forget that. It looks pretty nice, though. I'd buy one if it was $50 or less.

That car belongs to one of the most active members of the IS Owner's Club in Japan. He's painted the headlight housings black and has "angel eye" headlights. That is one fantastic car, with a lengthy list of mods that include 20" BBS RS-GT's, Tom's rear, etc...

Definitely not Taiwan, notice that the IS in the picture is right hand drive. Taiwan is left hand drive like US.

Anyone know where to get a full frame license plate bracket? Much like the one in the initial post? Is there some universal one I could use?
