I say color match your kit. get the handles and roof done. then loose the wheels. Sorry but they are horrible, especially the rainbow lip.

Honestly I think you may be able to pull it off, I see potential. Maybe paint your wheels as that chrome makes the wheels look cheap. That titanium lip is unique, keep it. Maybe you don't have to paint the kit if you get more black (hood, roof, trunk).I'll wait for your completed look before I judge.

Oh, and of course drop your car so your wheels don't look that tiny.

**Just read your description again. I see you are going to be lowering your car on Wednesday and you do have the rear lip kit. Post pics when you do

yes a lip kit and wheels is fine.. reason it isnt my cup of tea is the under sized wheels.. 4x4 status , and the kit ings kit would look 100x beter if color matched... and again this is IMO CF only works with sgm ,black , or white not tp...


like i said.. as long as your happy is what counts

Like others have said, the potential is there. I like the idea of painting the roof black but i wouldnt paint the door handles. Once you lower the car, look into some spacers for the wheels. I would also suggest color matching the chrome of the front grill tp, and blacking out the lexus badge.

I see a Tungstun Pearl mini-me in the making

Get the rear lip, slammage, roof done in black and you should look 10x better, you still need a bit more mods but you're off to a good start man!

Dont worry man i went through the same thing when i first started

sorry i work 10 hour days so i dont come online everday,I honestly hate chrome but i wanted the ti lip i put the black faced with ti lip next to my car and the chrome looked alot better. i have alot in mind it just started to get nice out here so i can do the things im going to do. im definitly getting spacers cause its going to look dumb in the rear once i slam it, my plans for right now are do something with the front grill either black or color match,im going to order spacers this week,big break kit,cf pillar kit,cf interior kit,cf hood going to order next week and possibly trunk not too sure how my tails will go with cf trunk with the cf rear lip might be too much black in the back.i already orderd led puddle lights drl's fog lights,then do some little performance and alot of suspension work. i build my cars to be something your not going to see everywhere i know the wheels look weird but in person they do grow on you. Thanks for your thoughts and sugestions and i dont mind the haters... hahaha ill keep you guys posted with my mods and lots of pics

Not feeling it, the look youre trying to achieve in its current stage imo doesnt fit that car. Furthermore I could have also gone without the rainbow wheels. But if it makes you happy then mod on!
