The car on the left? How were they able to clear the amber from the lens?

Also, on the red out on the right car, when you signal, how does the color look? Red? Amber? Amberish red?

Yes it will fit. You can buy the outer headlights pieces from you local dealer or I know Sewell Lexus sells them online for 400-500.

I like the flat finish on your tail lights. Was that intentional or was it just a cheap red out film? I think it looks awesome.

I'm not feeling the plastidiped reflector on rear bumper.

Looks like you were missing an option and that black piece is a filler.

If you like that look, then it's cool
