Default Installed F Sport Style Grill & Fog Light Hid's

Hey guys!

So I added a few new goodies to the is350 today. I got an F Sport Style grilled installed. I didn't like how the chrome housing looked so I vinyl wrapped it matte black. I also restored my fog lights and got 6500k HIDS installed. Ill update you guys with a night time picture in a bit! Let me know what you think!

Looks great!!! I'm waiting for my F-sport style grill to come in the mail now then will do the install.

One question... How did you get the L emblem off the old grill and how did you adhere it to the new grill?! That's the only part i'm worried about screwing up!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Looks good. I would recommend some 6000K HID bulbs and LED DRL lights now.

For the badge, try dental floss to get it off and 3M double sided tape to reapply.

The wrapped surround and the restored fogs both look great.

In addition to the floss, leaving it out in the sun for the adhesive to soften will help lots.

Bruh... those fogs look amazing... I need to do this!

I also transferred my emblem from stock to the Kazz just last night. All I did was heat it with a blow dryer and slid a butter knife behind the emblem... came off no problem and all the original adhesive stayed on the grill.

Yeah, good job and everything look good. It will look even better with the HID for headlight bulbs, LED DRL and city/parking light.
By the way, did you use one of those headlight restoration kit (with the sand papers and polish)?

The OP might have HID Headlight but I am not sure if he has the OEM bulbs. Maybe the regular city/parking lights give an optical illusion of different color (especially the purplish on the outside) .
Here are my OEM HID just turned on less than 5 second before the picture was taken ( the LED city/parking light help brighten it a bit). Definitely white and no funky color there.



This was with my Xenon Depot. Being in the San Francisco Bay Area, I went with the more functional 3000K (otherwise I would definitely try to match the headlights color).
