So far i've gotten lots of exhaust work, HID's, chrome welded muffler tip, tinted turn, fog, and tail lights! I plan to paint or change rims, and order a CAI.

I'm guessing the black stripes are there for accents to make the tints flow well? Looks like the fogs aren't even there..

the fogs, turn lights, and tails are all professionally done black. the vinyl stripes are something i tried like you said. I think once I add more black to the car, it'll flow more. For example the rims. The front windows are tinted as well, but in the picture they're down! I appreciate your input!

the stripes are something I saw on a buddy of mine's care and I wanted to give it a try! I like them because it's something different & compliments the tint like you said!

x2. This is what new Challengers have on the fenders. Not sure what it represents on your Lexus.

The Grand Sport Corvette has them too. I think you should remove the stripes. I'm also not a fan of completely black lights on a white car, but you have already done it, so there is no going back.

Welcome to CL =)

And Nice ES, I think it looks pretty cool, but I do agree with everyone else on the stripes, on the other hand I also think it's pretty cool, as I've never seen that done before.

In all honesty I think you shouldn't waste your money on a CAI for this car though, you're better off getting some nice wheels 17's or 18's nothing larger, and a mild drop and you're all set!
