Thanks for all the comments and replies, I'm going to take your advice and add a little black to the engine cover, I'll add some pics when it's done

Looks nice! I really like the illuminated door sills, added them to the "Upgrade List" for my IS

Sport pedals (thanks to Sewell for their sale)


32% Tints


Painted calipers with G2 kit and black Lexus graphics & painted rims with Anthrecite Plasti Dip and glossifier.




8000K Trunk LED strip (18LEDs) from Precision LED


6K 4 LED bulbs for the mirror puddle lights from VLEDs (crappy iPhone pics)

Thank you

It'll probably be next year before I get new rims but I'd like to lower the front of the car by an inch. The rear is a good height for me, just not happy with the gap at the front. Need to find some springs/coilovers that don't sacrifice the ride.

For springs, look into the H&R Sports. 1.4f and 1.3r drop.

For coilovers, can't go wrong with BC Racing. Try the 10/8 set up if you like a softer ride, 12/10 if you like a sportier ride.
