The one you posted earlier is the Lexon in CF, looks sick.

I really like the foglight housings in CF and painted, awesome!
Oh yeah.. now I see the mis-label.. The black should be the Autocouture Lip.

Yes, I agree the Lexon Pieces in CF look amazing!!!

You can also catch a glimpse of VIP Auto Salon on the Drivers door..

Also looks like they installed a set of Forged Volk Racing RE30 - 08' Formula Limited Edition

That's a negatory - those are Volk GT-30's, not RE-30's...

Well, it is advertising and marketing. When people take pictures of the front of the car, they can easily see the aftermarket branding.

It also gives hope to people like me cuz I have a front plate too.

I see, good point. Please disregard my last statement.

Looks like the WALD is a cover. In the prevois pics of that kit, I thought it was a Bumper replacement. The line where it attaches to the front bumper looks wierd to me.

Not likely. Especially on an IS-F.

No one can take the front plate off the car b/c most lexus dealerships won't service the car if your mods make the car unroadworthy and having no plates on the front of the car is a big no no here so showing a car without it is not really going to do anything b/c you can't do it it anyway. Plus like someone else said it also is due to advertising.
