Blue is the new black (2008 Lexus IS350 transformation)
Day I picked up the car. Bone stock & no tints.
A week later, 17% tints.
Lowered.
Added the OEM gfx rear and fronts, exhaust/intake etc.
Small mishap... an ISF kissed me...
A month later, all fixed up and good! With a new ISF rep bumper.
Got a new OEM flatbottom wheel!
New F Sport wheels.
Some local meet.
Decided to get some +15mm spacers.
In the shop for some work, namely molded wald!

Ya the bumper is a rep fiberglass ISF bumper.
Colour is not USB, it's the liquid blue pearl... the same colour used on the LFA.
I was gonna go USB too but I ended up with the LFA blue pearl as I liked the pearl and darker blue more.
I edited the mod list to reflect this, I was gonna go for the OEM front, but if it breaks you can't fix it like FRP.

everything flows together really nicely.
I see that you mention the fenders and side-skirts are FRP too; are they a direct bolt onto the 2IS, or did they require modification to fit onto the regular 2IS? Can you give us more information about where you got them?

Wow I thought the black version was great...then the blue version appeared and totally dominated. Love the front, sides, rear, spoiler, brakes, kinda everything. I never liked those wheels....until I saw it on your car. Works really well together.
