Scared to see what they gonna charge me for my New Front / Rear bumper.
Looking forward to seeing future developments on your car. It looks amazing already!

Thanks man. I purchased these headlights off ebay for $178 shipped. They arrived very quick, and are a nice quality. I recommend them to anyone. Where in NC are you located?

Finally snapped a few pics of the TL and IS together. They're both dirty in this set.



























Clearly the IS is getting more attention these days haha.

Thanks man. For $60 i can buy some yakima q111 clips and transfer it to the IS. I wonder what it would look like on there.

Thanks man. haha someone finally noticed! ..yes i spray painted it with duplicolor. A couple layers of primer, used honda taffeta white(which isnt even a close match), and some layers of clear.

I've noticed the pearl really stands out at night when i take photos of the car. In the daytime its a lot harder to notice the difference in color.

Nice. The TL gets around so im not surprised you've seen it before haha. We've probably met before i be. I've got a buddy with a blue ISF.

Absolutely love both cars!! I love the contrast of the two, the subtle IS to the blend of Mild & Wild TL Great photos as well! What are you shooting with?

I think a Lexus IS300 GR Style Front Bumper Lip would work best for your car. I think it gives it more of a aggressive look to it.

It's tough to decide! When I drive beside the IS when my girlfriend is driving it, I love the way the CEs look in action.

I love snow and finally got a taste of some on saturday. Naturally, I busted out the budlights and the camera. :toocool:



















Woke up the next day and decided to take some more pics early in the morning and then went back to sleep haha..
