I guess I just leave it like that for now. I really don't like the OEM rear or the side skirt.

Do I hear INGS side and rear?

Actually, that would probably make the side and rear look lower than the front.

Maybe the Various rear kit does it for me now but I think imma wait for some more options. The front lips is okie now with stock i think.

Nicest IS350 i've seen so far. I'm not a big fan of chrome but i have to admit I love those rims. Very classy and sporty at the same time, but not too flashy because the simple flat 5 spoke design. Those Lexus center cap look real good with the rims. Thanks for sharing the picture, Tim.

How difficult is it to install front lip? Does this come pre-painted? Thanks!

It took me 1 hour and 1/2 to put those on. It required drilling on your front bumper. Yes it comes pre-painted from Lexus.

Those are not the one I have. They're not chrome. They look like the stock ones we have on the stock 2IS wheels. The one I got is from the new RX330. There are 4 small plastic peices behind the cap need to be remove in order for them to fit in the Zenetti.

In order for the Lexus cap to fit on the Zenetti Wheels, you need to modify it a liltle bit. All you need to do is get a small saw and cut 4 plastic pieces that I show you on the picture. You need to remove the wheels to install those.
