Thanks! As of now looking at oem or 78works headlights from Japan... have a few other things I'd like to get before spending the money on just headlights

-- that includes saving up for some bigger plans for the car next summer

Finally some nice pictures; 2 different photographers, same setting.

As far as plans for future mods go, I have a couple of big ideas for next year, but we'll have to see. A lot of stuff planned, but that'll depend on funds

Have some bigger plans to put in motion for the car in the new year... Still a ways out but nothing wrong with planning ahead.

Thinking about it, but have some other priorities for the car.. oem 2012 headlights would occupy a lot of (unnecessary) funds.

You'll be able to see what something like the Ebays would look like this weekend

One of my new favourite pictures w/ my buddy's Carrera... thing sounds ridiculous FBO (all Fabspeed)

->Finally got my front windows tinted to match the rears (30% all around) -- Front tint is illegal here, so matching the back instead of going full blackout on the whole car seemed like a better idea, though less obvious.

Cheers

Looking good!!

Is that a real or rep Wald spoiler? If rep, where'd you get it from?
Same with the front bumper conversion - where did you buy your bumper and accessories from? Any useful guides?

I have the 2011 headlights, and looking to get a 2011 bumper and accessories in Tungsten Pearl to match up the front. Not sure where to start tho haha.

Parts are all authentic.
I followed one of the guides for the front end conversion on the forum here; search for a 2012 conversion! All original toyota/lexus parts were used to ensure the best fitment and appearance
The bumper and Fsport spoilers had to be painted SGM - both grilles were painted gloss black - the depressions in the bumper where the fog lights sit were painted black to match the grilles (All of them won't come painted or prep'd if you get oem parts)

Awesome! I see some used 2011front bumpers (without the F sport canards/spoilers) on Ebay in what looks like Tungsten Pearl that came off an original car. Hope to hop on this project soon!

Hi brotha, cars lookin real nice. I've had my IS since 2010 and couldnt do nothing with it. Finally graduated college and making some decent income. I've had this ding in my front bumper, your front looks mean. Any suggestions on starting out on making my 2011 IS250 as a project car. Nothing fancy, just clean.
