Thanks man, all the details are in my build thread. The low beam is Phillips Unltinon 6000k Flash White from Nigel JDM parts.


MYISF-

Your car looks great, I'm jealous right now! I would love to do a full respray. I did my front bumper cover last year to get rid of the license plate screw holes and I wish I did the whole front of the car. The body shop talked me out of it because "this is New England and your car is going to get chipped".
Even though they have a point I only drive the car in good weather and a fresh start would have been nice. Maybe next year......

I hear u man...it was a rather big financial move but as the 2nd owner there were things I would have done differently and they needed to be addressed...now it is all on me and what condition the car stays in...I can handle that... At only 32K miles and being a 2009...I basically feel like I have a new car...but done the way I want it to look!!!

Thank you very much and they are Vossen CV3 "Gunmetal" sizes 20x9 & 20x10.5.

I know there are many choices and opinions out there when it comes to wheels but it just comes down to what you are trying to do and I researched many many options and this wheel IMHO was built for the ISF...almost everyone I meet immediately asked me what I am lowered with and my car has the stock suspension...it is just that Vossen did a great job with this fitment as it simply just WORKS!!!

See for yourself...here is another shot of the car going down the road:

Thanks...accomplished in various ways as follows:

Front grill = painted grill and 3M grill surround
Windows = 3M
Exhaust tips = powder coated
Emblems = Black Pearl and shaved rear Lexus and IS

!
Where did you get the tips powdercoated?

And when you say 3M for the windows and grill I'm assuming you are talking about their vinyl correct?

Default My (new) 2014 IS F is in Japan...

She is supposedly being built right now (this week) in the Lexus mfg plant in Tahara, Japan
She will take about 1 month to travel here by cargo ship, through the Panama Canal, to Jacksonville FL for a car-carrier trip up here to NC...

https://www.google.com/maps/@34.7197...!3m1!1e3?hl=en

I wonder if she is in that sea of cars somewhere right now... if you do some exploring on the Google Maps site you will be amazed at all the activity at this Lexus mfg site... also, get a load of that banked test track and the long straightaways - so cool...

This car is so freakin clean. I love the subtle, clean touches. a few questions, What rear splitter is that, and the size of the spacers you used? Did you roll the lip to clear the wider tires?
