Default Possible future mod. LS on the IS??

I've always LOVE the new LS exhaust tips and always wondered what it would like if I put it on my 350. Maybe I should do this in the future who knows. Here's a photoshop i made. Tell me what you guys think.

It's pretty interesting, and I thought about it before. I think one of Kenny's friends fit it onto his GS.
And btw, the tips are kind of like the IS-F's. They aren't connected to the exhaust, but they are rather attached to the bumper.

If you can do it, props to you!
(Btw, did you shrink the rectangular pipes slightly? They look a little smaller than normal...)

^^ If you have the picture of Kenny's friends GS i would love to see it. Lexus shoulda made the GS like that in the first place. Anyways, no i didnt shrink it, it came from this picture.

Sorry I don't have it... I just remember that he mentioned it when we first talked about different exhaust tips, specifically rectangular ones.

Hm... I guess so. It looks a little different on the IS though.

have fun paying boat loads of cash (extreme custom body shop work, custom welding, paint, ect...) for an enhancement that makes little to zero improvment on the almost perfect IS.

My highly unqualified advice?

Don't do it.
