Your car looks great. I like everything about it. All you need to do is slap on some lexus caliper decals and hid fogs. Keep it up

I'm kind of torn between before and after as well. I think the front surround looks nice blacked out, but would have kept the "L" chrome. Either way, props for being different.

Usually i would have to agree..ESPECIALLY with a brand new 2011. The front grill yeah..mayb would have left that alone. Tails dont look too bad since its not THAT dark as some others have done. BUT PLEASE dont do something cheesy and paint your stock wheels black..ITS a LEXUS people..

I Powder Coated my Infiniti's stock 19s and they looked great...and ITS an INFINITI. But then again, the F-Sport already comes with graphite wheels, so it is unnecessary to paint them

eh, I wouldnt call it a "drone" I have received countless compliments on my exhaust and I happen to love the sound ... all a matter of preference, looks like I will have to post a vid of it soon but you'd hafta hear it in person to really know for sure ... when yur cruisin low rpm its low, get on it a bit and you hear me comin ... power mode adds some nice tones as well

I agree. The "L" Chrome would have looked nicer.
