Conservative build tread- Fire Agate Pearl/Flaxen Interior
I was never a fan of this car, until one of our friends got one so I started to lurk on the 4th Gen forums. The car has lots of potential so let the modding begin. Again it the wife's car so it’s going to be very conservative.
Initially wanted to get the wife an RX, showed her the brochure since August but she was content with her accord and did not even want to test drive anything. She did mention if she does get one she wanted the fire agate and saddle interior. Last weekend finally convinced her to go on a test drive. She also test drove the GS then it was a rap. Hennessy Lexus of Gwinnett did not have the color combo she wanted so they had to source it from another location but was still able to pick it up a few days before her birthday. Big ups to Frank Mullin for the awesome deal, smooth buying process and five star treatment.
Camera does not do the interior justice so here is a pic from Lexus website
Lists of mods planned or already ordered.
License plate frame
Got this from fleebay. I already had the black with chrome letters so I decided to switch it up with hers and get the chrome frame with black lettering.
OEM rear spoiler (Non F-sport)
Ordered this on Wednesday from Sewell and while washing my car today the FedEx guy made a delivery. Strange because it was originally back ordered. Way to go Sewell Lexus (club Lexus Fender). Paint matches perfectly but truck needs to be drilled for install so would need to take it to a shop. Do not buy the cheap ebay spoiler which is just taped on. Plus you can support our Venders.
OEM Mud Guards (Japan only)
Yeah, Yeah why mud guards, simple cause no one has them lol. I actually believe it adds esthetic value to the car. Plus I do not think anyone in the USA is rocking them as yet. Ordered from Nigel parts (Club Lexus Vendor) so should be at my door steps by mid-January. It's somewhat pricy but I think its worth it. Hopefully if it gauges much interest he can do a group buy next time.
Tanabe NF Springs
Back ordered till mid-January
Wald Executive Line front lip
Carson Toyota (l-tunedparts) another Club Lexus fender stated they should be in stock by end of Dec or mid-January.
Wheels
I'll keep that a surprise. Cannot let everything out the bag.

Are you sure you're doing all these for her and not YOU? 
Not a big fan of the front lip kit but if she likes it, then be it. 
Looking good otherwise. I'd love to see how she looks with the springs. Keep us updated. Congrats.

mud guard would be nice i am thinking about getting this as well since i noticed on my star fire paint gs ak lot of wheel dirt is coming onto to the body. hoping mud guard will protect that. do you know if it is a direct bolt on or does it require minor mod to install it?
