Saw your IS in person at the Pursuit 4, all I can say is "Wow!" It turned out really good and looks really aggressive.

Have to admit, I have never liked the 3IS front grill. However, it looks good on your car...slowly swaying me to like the 3is

Saw it in person at the Pursuit as well. Took some pics too.

That bumper look so much better on a 2IS than 3IS.

Damn, I saw you racing your car on the drag strip but never got to meet you. Thanks for the compliments!

Maybe custom 3IS rear also and throw away those side splitters.
You mean the rear side splitters? Or the actual side skirt splitters?

Thank you guys! Too bad I didn't run into many members but it was fun nonetheless. I met some NorCal CL members though...

I love the grille, just the headlights... Lexus must of known they were taking a gamble with that set up...

I'm so humbled that you think so and it makes me really happy to hear that; thank you very much. If it wasn't for ClubLexus though, I would've never taken the car this far. Looking at all the beautiful cars and builds on the forum only pushed me to step up my build and make something extraordinary and hopefully unique. Each aspect of my car is simply bits and pieces of different cars on here that I thought would look good altogether. So thanks to you guys

That's what many people are saying and I completely agree. I think the problem with the 3IS is that the separated LED strip makes the actual projector portion of the headlight look small and puny. Plus, it seems like too much is going on in the front bumper, but this looks much better And thank you

Waiting for The Pursuit to allow us to "come in" (be advised: wheels not yet polished)
