i'm not as active on this forum anymore but I just HAD to log back in to give you a thumbs up for this! Especially working on a 202 or 212 IS250.. Amazing work and way to be different, since you practically see the same mods in almost every thread...

Lol the other member beat me to it, if you dont mind, i call 2nd dibs especially when it's black too! (No joke and from WA)

Thank you J, so much. I appreciate the kind words. We miss ya on the boards man.

Everyone else. Here is a pic of everything finished. It's in the booth curing right now after being painted. Tomorrow morning I'll have video.
But here is the grill and grill surround finished.

Wow, loving this swap, looks like the outcome is going to be sick!! I'm surprised at how well it fits on the IS, and it looks right at home, very OEM+ Can't wait to see more pictures!

Thanks all for the kind words. The Lexus community on this forum has been an inspiration and I just want to thank everyone for always being nice and lending hands when applicable.
Big thanks to Phanley auto body based in west Palm Beach.
BBK arrives Tuesday and wheels.... Well hopefully soon I'll get some wheels * COUGH Mike@Vossen, you reading this?!
