I like the sides, are those chargespeed? or they sell it on ebay now? I like the rear lips too.

Not a fan of the rest, since you got the chargespeed sides (or ebay), do they sell the front lip too? will look nicer.

I'm not sure about the hood/trunk, seems the fitment is off, will look even worse if it's painted, especially the trunk.

I'd say if you like CF, you don't have to have everything CF, I think for your car it looks best if you just keep the Front/sides/rear and roof CF. the rest keep it painted.

Visors, or rainguard whatever they called, they look cheap, the JDM ones look much better, but I'm not a fan of it either.

Here's a picture of chargespeed:


look at the front lip, and look at the visors.

Any close up of your grill?

EDIT: At the end, it's your car. But you asked for suggestions.

First and foremost, welcome to CL. Your car doesn't look bad IMO,but there are a couple things that make it look like you're trying too hard. I would ditch the CF fuel filler lid and the white B pillars.

Also, was your trunk open when you took that picture or is the fitment of the CF trunk lid not good? You could clearly see that the tail lights don't line up.

white is my favorite color for the ISx50 but i think that's too much CF

visors...i think you should've gone with JDM or avs at least

btw the red car in the back is a mess lol

i totally agree with this, it think it'll look cleaner if you got rid of some stuff. it does look like your trying a little too hard to stand out. i'd also take a note from the white ISC with color matching the hood and leaving the vents black. that looks sick! other than that welcome to CL!

Weellllllll.......either remove That hood and get an oem cf one, or paint it white like numerous people are already saying. Second, those rims don't flow well with the cf theme and they arent aggressive enough to compliment your ride. Third, that gas cover needs to go. The front has alot going on, i would recommend getting a different grill. Ummm, other that that your ride is alright. Just needs a couple things. You should take some pointers from robs is. His rode is totally siiiiick.

thanks guys for your opinions. I think i will take off the gas door, get an is-f grill, and paint the hood to pearl white.

i seem some ppl asking about my back. I got them for japan. The diffuser is Varis and the back side is Fabulous. Google L-tuned and you will find them.

The break was just a cover, not 2 hard to get them.

By the way, i will do the puddle light and greddy exhaust next two weeks, still any commons?

Rashoodz: Has the Company dialed ChargeSpeed but the Kit name is the Bottomline

This would be the kit I will definitely put in my car. Has some tastes of aggressiveness but with some class like the Lexus brand has and I would like to preserve.

I wonder how much would it be to get this whole kit. Maybe I leave out the Fog lights trim it is beautiful.






This in conjuntion with my F-Sport Intake, F-Sport exhaust system, Aerotect Interior trim, F-Sport swaybars kit(front and back), F-Sport Brakes(front and back), Black Pearl Emblems, F-Sport Chassis Brace (back), GT Specs Strut Brace (front), F-Sport Steering, F-Sport carbon Shift ****, F-Sport floormats and all LED lights Interior will be a sweet car.
In my Color Starfire Pearl and black carbon Bottomline kit. Nice!!!!!!!
