Default Import Face Off

http://www.importfaceoff.net/index.htm

I was planning on going on the Sunday in Dallas but I found out there was one in San Antonio. I think it's $25 to run on the 1/4 mile drag.

Also....anyone on here had experience in installing the AP2 exhaust tips on your ISx50? I need to get the tips over the ridges on the stock pipe so that they can sit flush against the muffler (so that they will not protrude too far - as I don't have the GFX lip), and was going to have a go at it sometime in the very near future. If anyone has already done this, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

Spotted: silver IS350 with black/decaled calipers, F-Sport(?) exhaust, blacked out tails, and looked lowered....at Big Daddy's Burgers @ Burnet/183 during lunch. Nice ride!

Long-time lurker posting.

My warranty expired and had a lot of issues lately (break-in, hit & run) so i decided to start the mods.
2008 SFP IS250 checking in.

Anybody know if there are any places I can get my headlights blacked out professionally?

Sunbusters, on 183 and Duval (just past Bone Daddy's on the frontage road). Lex of Austin recommended them because they do their cars (and warned about other places damaging the insides of our doors), and they did a great job on mine.

thanks for the information. looks like I am getting different information from lex of aus. they told me they tint their own cars and the brand is "permaplate" I had 0 luck finding anything about that brand tint.

which tint did you go with from sunbusters?

Another ATX check in. New to Austin, even newer to Lexus. 2012 IS350. Glad to see there's a local community of enthusiasts.
