Congrats. Nice shopping list you got there. May I ask why you chose Tein springs. In my experience with springs for the IS I feel as tho the Tein drop is uneven. I would of recommended H&R or Road Magnet springs.

Looks good. I don't know if it's the exposure, but the pics make the fogs look like they need to be re-aimed. They look like they're throwing too much light into oncoming traffic instead of being focused closer to the immediate area in front of the car.
Same with the truck.. IMO HIDs in non-projector halogen housings is a huge mistake because of all the glare and hotspots you get, plus there's just way too much "light-bleed" above the cutoff that ends up blinding oncoming traffic. I would re-aim the headlights on the truck as well, but at a certain point your headlights become almost useless because you have to aim them so low to minimize glare.

I am always a proponent of doing it right the first time. I have done some mods in the past as a temporary thing and have always regretted it. Do it right the first time. It will always be less hassle and cost you less in the end.
Grill and 2 L emblems. Will look nice!
