Well, got on the kit in the past couple of days. Exhaust will go on soon within 2-3 weeks maybe. Just couldn't get it on today. Enjoy the photos. Positive and negative feedback welcome.

That rear bumper is very very nice! I'm excited for the exhaust to get installed. It's going to look awesome. I'm still on the fence about the location of the foglights. I feel like it's out of place...

Appreciate the comments guys. I can honestly say that I agree via photos with your comments. The fogs look off, but in person, it's a serious 180. It may be my amateur photography skills that make it look so bad LOL. Who knows, but I can guarantee that I share the opinion when it comes to photos, it looks off, but in person it really does look the fogs belong and is very sick. When the exhaust gets put on i'll be getting with a couple of friends to take some decent photos and will upload.

Fog lights look kind of off, I agree... But I bet you when this thing is on the floor with some wheels it isnt going to look off!!

This kit is nice, I think what's throwing everyone off is the obviousness of the fogs in their location.

I would recommend you get some scrap window tint and overlay it over the fogs to see how that looks.

It's still functional, but it blends better since it would cover up the chrome housing [not to mention protect those fogs since they're fairly low to the ground on that bumper].

Keep at 'er bro!

Hey brotha, nothing as of yet. I still haven't gotten the exhaust on yet, the shop has been backed up / busy and only has one lift, so they've been slammed with air suspension installs and unable to get me in. With it being the holidays the only things i'm worried about getting done are the rest of the parts that I have at the moment. Talked to the shop owner though and I should be able to get in and done with the exhaust on Saturday, then probably do the side mirrors and window visors some other day.

I need to get the 90k done and some paint work done by Lexus which is my main concern, so the LS will be with Sewell for about a week getting all that taken care of before the new year and I also need tires since I drive for work. There's about 3k gone right there .

I am hoping to get more parts ordered starting mid January and get on the ball for 2015 cause it's gonna be one hell of a year and crunch time to get the car to a finishing point.

thats just a muffler delete?! That sounds really good, and the 911 tips really updates it a bit. I dig the diffuser and the exhaust tips but personally that rear bumper looks kinda funky when its extended like that. Wonder why they extended it since the front MP bumper looks like its normal height.

I really wish I had the original photo of this kit on a Celsior in Japan to show.

When I get my air suspension on and wheels it'll change all the views of the front side for sure, maybe some peeps will dig the rear maybe some won't, but I love it. It plants perfectly on the ground so it sits lower is why it was extended. Most bumpers when aired out have maybe the corners of the bumpers touching the cement and the rest angles up, while this bumper was extended so the rear basically lays flat.
