Hi everyone, I have been asking questions about my first Lexus, but here is my first picture of it. It Is a brand new 2018 Lexus is300 AWD with luxury package. I got windows tinted and xpel paint protection film put on full front end. I just gave it a wash today. I didn't put my other rims on yet and I didn't mod it much.

Thanks! I'm sure there's a few cars out there running 9.5" wheels in front but the offset might not be available for these Weds.

He definitely did something to the mirrors themselves.

But yeah the base on mine was body-colored as well. I think that's just how they come.



I like the idea of painting the upper section, since, as you can see, the lower part of the mirror around the indicator is darker.

I know he did something to the mirrors, that's why I'm asking if he painted or wrapped them. Cause the pic is far away. As for the bases, yeah they come body colored. But on Lexus cars (and all cars really) that offer sporty versions with black painted factory mirrors, the bases are usually black along w/ the mirror. I like to mimic factory patterns when possible when modding.
