Hi all, sorry for the late response...on vacation and no internet.

1) Chrome front bumper trim is just 5/8" chrome strip that I got. I just applied it myself. A roll of like 4' cost me $40. 1/10 of the LX Mode chrome trim.
2) Chrome trunk trim cost me $20 on eBay
3) CF trim is from eBay as well

Yeh I'm going to hold off on wheels until I need new tires and get tires and wheels all at once.

I'm from the Boston area in MA.

Thanks for the nice comments guys!!!

Yeh eBay...wonderful. The side view mirrors are from eBay as well.

Thanks for the details. I am surprised that the chrome on the front bumper is the ol' roll-a-chrome. The LX-Mode trim looked a lot different from the pictures I saw so I was curious.

Wow, I'm pleasantly surprised at how good the chrome trim looks! Keep up the great work!

Yeh I'm personally not a huge fan of chrome but I thought the two strips of chrome that I added supported the grill's chrome, the window trim chrome, and the chrome emblems on the trunk very well. I'm contemplating doing the LX-Mode chrome door handles but that might be overkill.

the LX-Mode bumper chrome is like +$400 and its a little bigger. I wanted a bit more subtle look.

Thanks for the nice words guys!

i think everyones 1st thing they do to a AWD IS is to give it the f-sport springs. That way if its lease your good, and even if its not lease, its a cheap mod to get at 300$ and it really changes the appearance of our cars guys!!!
i had mine dropped last night..it is soooo mean looking now, before it was a scared cat... now its a cat ready to pounce! MUAHAH!!!

DUDE DO THE SPRINGS ASAP!!!

I really want to do the springs but my last car was SOOO LOW and I'm just not looking for a stiff ride right now. I like the easy driving of it.

I know the springs don't lower it that much but how much stiffer is the ride?

Everything looks really good, I'm impressed. BTW, what kind of exhaust tips are those?

Chekmi21

iTrader: (1)

don't know the brand of the tips. Just went to an exhaust shop around the area and asked for roll tips and grabbed those.

Ahh, I see, anyways I think those tips look good.

I didn't buy my Lexus for the stiff ride!
I think the hit from going from 17" to 19" will be stiff enough. Just hope the gap looks okay.
