Wow! That looks really nice! Now I really can't wait to get my body kit so I have a chance of keeping up with the looks of the new F-Sport lol

what the hell man...that looks so much better! and the black gloss roof too! i just got my ct a month and a half ago...

anyways

to answer your question, not that strong. a family member of mine is a lexus mechanic. he told me that new fsport front grille is going to cause problems because there's absolutely nothing you can do to protect it from chips etc. he said it'll likely look like crap once it has been on the road for 2-3 years (unless you do mostly city driving). and that grille itself costs ~$1000 (cdn) to replace since someone just brought back the 2014 is f sport to the dealership to replace it after an accident.

IMHO, looks ugly. That grill only works for the new es and is because if you follow your eyes see the grill first then it trails up to the top and goes back down due to back window and trunk, it doesn't work the same way for our cars because once our eyesight goes up it just goes flat it doesn't follow back down. Which again IMHO makes the front really ugly. I do like the subtle aggress rear though.

I think the car looks sharp, but I don't like that new grill at all, even on the new IS's. It takes away from the front of the car, in my opinion. It looks like Lexus is going with that one for all of the new models, though.

do the fenders/headlights/hood look the same to you guys?

if so, it would be very easy to simple upgrade the bumpers/grille

I think I like the F-Sport a little better...just came back from SEMA and it was amazing. Didn't see a CT there but lots of IS, GS, LS, etc...
