Can you post a close up pic if you don't mind? I'm not sure whether to go gloss or satin..

I can see what you mean with peeling off the original.. I've peeled one window and its a royal PITA..

I went with satin black--looks more like OEM black window trim on most cars

SeanO, are those the Spec-D tailights? They look awesome on your car with the black. Looking to maybe get them for my 250. Love the rims too, looks really clean. I am also from the London Ont area , dont see too many 2nd gen IS around.

No the tail lights are from a new seller called Vland - there is a thread you can check out in the ISF forum here - https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...pec-ds-14.html

You can find them on ebay.. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/Pair-Tail-Li...tarj0C&vxp=mtr
I personally wasn't a fan of the spec-d lights and some of them had flickering issues which I wanted no part of. PM me if you wanna get together sometime, I only know of a few others in the London area..

Looking great. Like a paint job. Mind me asking how much this cost?

It’s an AIt carbon front (replica). Sides are genuine AIT though. I ordered the fabulous but was sent this one instead. I will still order the fabulous at some point and maybe switch between the two.

Not at all, It was $150 - $75 a side

If at any point in time it peels I can just bring it back and have it replaced as well

Thanks. Me too! . Those are the same lights but a different seller. I'd highly recommend getting them from this seller if you plan on buying: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fit-For-Lex...y/112700979403
