Chucked some BC Gold coilovers in the black one + changed to more aggressive looking sideskirt extensions. Definitely looking tougher

I had to remove the 10mm rear spacers as it was rubbing pretty bad, so will get the guards rolled and put them back in

HC Motion tail lights will make the 2nd gens great again (3rd gen & 4th gen better watchout)--you are looking at the V2s.

Yes, your crew must have arrived earlier! I did not get there until about 9:15-9:30. Would be great to meet up in the future, on that Saturday I was rushing around to see everything to get back for a family activity. I was shocked by the number of Supra's there, lol!

tbh I only rolled up with the RCF Fuji and Black ISF, the GS300 and IS250 came after us. It was cool seeing more Lexus come out though! Usually there's not that many... and we weren't a lot to begin with. Supra guys always come out hard xD

Tried something a bit different by fitting a 3IS engine cover onto my 2008 IS350. Wanted the fully black version so went for this one from a 3IS IS250. The IS350 version has silver sides which I didn’t really like as much.

Unfortunately the mounting positions between the 250 and 350 are in different spots so I had to make up a bracket to extend one side, but for the most part it fits like a glove. The 350 cover would have fit with no modifications but I'm liking the black on black look

Hey mate, possible to get a link to the rear spoiler that you use?
Also the eyelids if possible. Do you install them yourself?
On the eyelids, do you think they look good with stock 2IS lights (the ones with the DRLs), or only on vlands/hc?
Lots of questions lol, but your cars look so good man.

No problem! I only ever use this particular seller as I have bought about 10 different spoilers off them over the years and the quality + paint match is always perfect. The do all OEM colours, you just need to send them a message. This link is for the trunk spoiler and roof spoiler combo, which works out cheaper than just buying the trunk spoiler: https://www.ebay.com/itm/373420303097

The eyelids do look ok with the stock headlights but definitely look better on Vlands, HC Motions etc. They came out of Russia, before the conflict, so you can't currently buy them, but I'm hoping they become available again soon. Lots of people asking for them.

Hi,

Great, I will message them and try that seller then thank you.
Also, is it possible to get a link to the black emblem you use? I saw on YouTube you told someone Alibaba, but I cannot find any on Alibaba that look similar in quality. I have found this but not sure if it is the same: https://www.ebay.com/itm/275214119267

Finally, i'd like to ask, your Red IS, does it have Vland taillights?

Looked at your instagram page. Really cool profile!

The one you want is 120x85mm. They come in black or the hybrid style blue. Here's the link to the exact one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004687383162.html

Yep, the red one had Vland tail lights. All the others have HC Motion tail lights

Thanks so much! I will order that now!
Guessing you had to remove the prongs and sand it down since we need it flat for the spoiler right?
