I actually like this a lot. If you red out out the swoosh i wonder if it'll look even better. Nice rear end you have there!

Lexfinity ftw!

I think your exhaust and rear lip do it all. SICK.

Thanks guys im appreciating all the opinions and thats exactly the look i was aiming for stock but not! lol the swooshes and circles is what makes it look busy but to be honest i think it will look tight only when theyre lit the halos will be visible so im thinking it will come out good... ive done this setup on previous cars before so i already know what im cutting splicing gluing and so forth ill keep you guys posted for sure

Sexy Tom's rear! (That sound wrong? lol)

Like others have said, it screams out Infiniti and doesn't flow with the angled Nike swooooosh

^pshhh... I think the swoosh adds some Lexus flavor.

Can't wait to see this!

Cool concept, but as others have pointed out, it doesn't flow well with the swoosh IMO, and it's too similar to Infiniti's stuff. Looking forward to seeing the results though, love the one-off stuff.

Not a bad job, looks good but also reminds me of G35. Props for being unique though.

Honestly, I think if anyone were to put halos in the tails, the '09+ design would be best. It does look busy with the swoosh but it won't go right with the '06-08 or IS-F tails. The reverse light would be in the middle of the halo and if that's taken out, then the farthest inner side would look empty.

I say go for it. Especially if you have done it before. I think it will look fine if done properly and not like it came from Jim and Bob's custom car parts.com lol.

I think it looks pretty sick, following Nissan/Infiniti trends though

I like the ring on the outers but not the inners. Just doesn't mesh well on the inners for some reason.
