Oh goodness, what an outpouring of welcoming people. Thank you all and I appreciate your comments!

Now onto responses:

Thanks for the compliment! I will only rock an authentic part unless the original manufacturer no longer makes a certain product and it's only realistic to buy a replica. Gotta support the people who do things for us!

Exactly... gotta go big or go home. If you can't afford it, then save up and buy. What's the point of putting a bunch of crappy stuff on a Lexus.

Thanks MRM brother!

The paint is actually going to be all semi-gloss/gloss. My reasoning behind this is MRM is a color with such vivd depth and so much pearl in it, it would be insulting to put the color up against something flat. My grill at one time was painted a matte black and I always felt like it was off. I then had it professionally painted semi-gloss black, and it was just perfect.

Trying to think big here... Mama wants some HRE's! Hopefully it is a goal I can attain. But what style and such, I have not yet really pinned down. Wheels are something I want to put on last because it can make or break ALL the rest of the beautiful things someone has done to their car... so it's definitely a choice that will take some time and analyzing.


Hopefully I can post some pictures tomorrow or soon... It's apparently decided to rain for the next 3-4 days down here... Not sure if I want to put the body kit on and expose it to the elements so soon! But when pictures are avail, this thread will be updated. Until then, thanks ya'll!!
