Just a before and after compared to how it was a year ago. I think I'm done with the rear. Any other suggestions of what I can do cause the modding just never stops lol. I got IS-F tails, JP Vizage lip, Wald spoiler, and quad exhaust. I was maybe thinking of splitters to go under the lip?

@chi123, I think it looks great now. It has come a long way. The splitters may be a bit too much in my opinion.

I agree with the black emblems but no tail light tint. A bit tacky IMO

It can look decent if its an extremely light tint, but its really hard to achieve. But yes, too much looks incredibly tacky and its even worse if its not cleared/polished afterwards.

I'm not doing the black pearl emblems for sure. I work at a Lexus/Acura dealer and I've seen many Lexus with them. They look great but on black cars, you can barely notice the badges. Looks great on white or silver cars. I might do a light 50 percent tint only on the red so it becomes a dark red. I do kind of hate how bright the red is on a sunny day.
