Default Molded Wald trunk spoiler

I got my Wald trunk spoiler molded on, plus I had the "Lexus" and "IS350" shaved and filled (yes yes, I am aware lots of people don't like this - but I do ). I also had the Lexus "L" painted black, but I might get a black chrome one, not sure yet.







Then...I dropped the car on Eibachs and added spacers until I can get some coilovers and Works. Let me tell you, NEVER again will I do springs without air tools. My hands are burning, lol.

New:



Next mods will be blacked out eBay LED tails and JDM visors. Thanks for looking!

Nice work on the molded Wald. Wheels and coilovers will definitely improve the appeal.

I love how you debadged it! Exactly how I wanted to do it. Do you mind telling me how much you paid?

Love how the molded Wald looks. I for one, love the shaved emblems and de-badged look. You car is looking great so far.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Nice to hear I'm not the only one who likes the debadged look. After reading some threads on it, it looked like everyone gets attacked when they speak up about it, lol.

As you can see, I "debadged" the front too with my Blitz grille, but I might stick an "L" on there.

I paid $550 for the work. I paid $530 (shipped) for the actual spoiler a few months ago.

Haha, I saw your thread. I would kill myself if I bought coilovers right now after punishing my hands by twisting springs for hours, lol.

Yup, that's after the eBay tails and JDM visors...well, either a kit, or wheels/coils. Not sure which order I'm gonna do it in. I can't decide on a kit though. I wanna see Wald front + Vertex sides and rear, but no one has a pic. Wald rear is a little too agressive for me I think. I dunno, I might try it out. I think Wald rear looks better on white or silver so you can paint part of it black.
