Badge relocation, decided to do something different instead of just debadge. I haven't seen a Lexus with the badge centered that way so decided to go ahead and try it. I'm sure some might not like it but I think it looks cool, better than a complete debadge. So there were 4 freakin holes behind the emblems lol. I could of sworn I read somewhere on forums that there were only holes under the IS 250 emblem. I filled them in temporarily until I get it to a body shop but waiting for new bumper purchase and GFX kit.

I got them off ebay...

Gotta warn you, say's it's easy installation but I had a hell of a time trying to install them. I ended up having to cut/shave the hard plastic inner door cover quite a bit in order to get one of them to fit. You might not run into the same issue, probably just my luck but just letting ya know.

Yup, can't beat $30 and they look pretty cool...Can't really see them during the day but at night they draw quite a bit of attention.
Ok gents, blacked out (plasti dipped) my front grills outer section...Not really feeling it, will probably go back to OEM chrome lol

Waiting on coil overs, TPMS sensors, new rotor plates and ceramic pads. Might as well get everything replaced while I'm at it instead of trying to use the old dusty pads and beat up rotors. Thanks Jadu, I have quite a bit to do before getting it looking as good as others around here but I'll get there. Littleyan good to see a new Lexus owner, I think you'll love the car....Get your mod on bro.

I gotta make some $$ first, then ill be slowly making some mods to my car. I love the feel of it and everything. I switched from a b5 s4 avant stage 2, so i will have to familiarize myself with the IS community first!
