I'm sure some people still think that.

I sold my 2009 Corolla XRS when I got my 2011 IS250, so it was all good to me from day 1, haha.

Nice job! I like the dark grille too. Funny how the dealer said the 2011 front lip pieces won't fit on your 2011 IS.

Do it yourself, it's actually really easy to do...it's just the whole cutting into your bumper thing that makes it seem tough. The underside of the bumper has markings where you need to cut and if that's not enough, there are also arrows imprinted next to the rectangles showing you where to cut! I used a drill to drill out the corners and then a dremel to cut the rectangles out. The pieces are OEM so they fit perfectly and everything is held in place with clips that are provided. Took me about 2 hours, but I was ultra careful because I didn't want to scratch my bumper.

what wheels are those?
Wheels are 19 inch TSW Nurburgrings in matt gunmetal. I was close to getting the same LC's that you have but they didn't have them in gunmetal at the time.

Nice job! I like the dark grille too. Funny how the dealer said the 2011 front lip pieces won't fit on your 2011 IS.
Yeah, when I called he kept telling me how it wouldn't fit...I had to keep telling him that they could and all I wanted was a price. That's why forums like this one are such a great thing. There's tons of knowledge that can be found or asked for here.

Looks great! You should add the F-Sport grill to finish it off
