Ultrasonic Blue Mica F-Sport - post yours!
Hi all =) I got my car back in February.
Here's my 2016 F-Sport. I just tinted the windows... never really been a fan of tinted windows especially on my BMWs, but I decided to give it a try. I went with 35% on all windows except for the front obviously. What do you guys think? I wish it were a tad lighter but maybe I'll get used to it.
Also installed are the Blue F-Sport springs. The rears were a little tricky. But I followed Lexus's instructions closely including the re-torquing of the inner control arm nut with the suspension fully loaded. The car handles amazingly!! And this is coming from a former modified BMW M3 owner. I am eyeing the blue sway bars next...
I apologize if a similar thread exists, I did not see them. mods feel free to merge if that's the case. I wanted to see what other Blue F-Sport owners had done and how their cars looked. I am thinking about doing the chrome moldings black. Probably with vinyl tape.
I have spacers and extended studs but I'm really dreading doing that job. I'm hoping there's space to pop the stock ones out without having to remove the hub.
I'm sorry the pics look really big and stretched. Is there a better way to do this? I may have to host them somewhere else and link.

I haven't taken a lot of pictures of mine, but I took these two shortly after buying it. Mine's a 2014 with the factory LED exterior light option. It also has radar cruise, but the sensor is actually hidden behind the front "L" Lexus emblem. Most cars just have a projector-style plastic dome thing sticking out from an opening in the bumper or grill.

So the difference between the 2014 and 2016 seems to be the 2016 has a full chrome grill where as the 14/15 have half matte grill and half chrome.

I didn't even notice the full chrome grill surround! I can also tell you that the 2014s don't have the F Sport badge on the back, but the 15s and on do. I had mine put on at the dealer though, looks good. =P

2012 F-sport. Still debating on whether to convert to the 2015 front. I kinda like the 2012 front without the big grill. I did go with the 2015 rear bumper though. A big improvement over the 2012 rear bumper!
Wheels are WORK cr2p 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 et30 all around ( which are for sale ). Lowered on d2 sir struts with accu-air elevel management system
Here are 2 simple phone pics. Nothing profesional...

Too bad the Ultrasonic Blue Mica is gone in 2017. It's now a very rare color.

Great set up Rawkus1513!
I have always loved that carbon fiber front spoiler. I think it is one of the few body kits that actually compliments the front of the CT.
I am in a similar debate whether to buy the 2014+ front end or not. I need to get my front bumper repainted anyway so it kid of makes sense. Do you have any information about the new 2014+ carbon fiber spoiler. I haven't seen it on ebay yet.
(btw, all your USB look great too!)
