Car looks wicked. When i get mine, im coming down to jersey for photo shoot with you and the Jersey boys lol
That's including the price of the wheels which was about half of the money lol... Yea man I've been trying to set up a photo shoot with a couple of friends that have IS for this weekend but it forecast shows rain for the whole weekend

As far as the job I work at an Architect Firm haha I work to support my cars **note I'm working hard right now lol***

So almacruel, I notice in your sig. your running wider rims/tires on your awd. Have you experinced anything out of the ordinary after running the staggered setup? Was thinking of doing that setup on my awd also.

Hot lookin' car!

Your painted grill looks good too. I see that you have the same bumper holes as mine. I got bumper plugs to plug up the main holes and touch up paint to paint over the other 2. Makes a huge difference. Something you should think about.

That’s what I was planning on doing but since I was having the rear lip painted I had them fix the front bumper as well... Took this picture this morning before work....

That looks great! You have one nice ride as I have probably said a few times in this thread! lol...

I like the BLK painted honeycomb and the gril. That looks so much better. Considering having mine done also. Can I remove the honeycomb and drop it off at the bodyshop? or do they need the whole front bumper to paint it?

Thanks

Thanks man it's awesome to see that everyone likes what I done... But I would have never been able to do what I have done to my car without clublexus.com for all the awesome cars we have here and all the ideas...

They don't need the whole bumper to paint the grill... But I'm pretty sure you have to take off the bumper in order to take off the grills... At least that's the way I took it off...

Yea it's worth it... The car looks so much better with the lip kit... Only thing left to do is to figure out what side skirts I want but I'm think the GFX side skirts will be the best...
