they did a nice job getting the vinyl under the rubber around the front and rear windshield and the sides are completely covered by the rails.

it's not too bad, kinda sticks out like a sore thumb, but as long as you're fine with it..that's all that matters

Welcome. Are you planning on dropping with springs or coils?

Heh the sharkfin literally looks like a sharkfin protruding out of the water now. The gloss looks nice.

Can you give me the name of the shop you went to for this? Also, how much you paid?

That looks very nice!

i don't know yet, i was thinking about just doing f-sport springs and shocks but it seems like for the price i can get a decent set of coils, but i don't want to mess with ANY warranty hassles from Lexus. Stevens Creek Lexus likes to blame everything on something aftermarket. The one thing i'm worried about is camber but i doubt a 1" drop would do much to it.

on a side note.. what do you guys think.. PIAA plasma ion or xtreme white fogs? i thought white so i get a nice match but i thought yellow for the classic 1IS(used to have one before my 335i) look.
